Unlike any other product on the market today, Silhouette® Window Shadings from Hunter Douglas give you the power to turn bright glares into subdued, diffused light. The shades feature S-shaped vanes that appear to gracefully float between two sheer panels. The double panels increase view-through by allowing light to filter in while obscuring the view into your home. Sheer shades add a touch of elegant beauty to any room you choose.
UV Protection
Window shades help to lessen the amount of damaging UV rays that enter your home. These rays can fade and discolor your interior furnishings, artwork, and floor coverings over time. Window shades reduce the amount of incoming UV even when the vanes are tilted open to allow in natural light. When closed, sheer curtains can block up to 99% of UV rays.
Sheer Versatility
Part of the appeal of sheer shades is the product’s versatility. They can create a glamorous environment, or a relaxed, casual atmosphere depending on how you style them. Sheer curtains are easy to pair with other window treatments, such as traditional drapery, so you can block out all light when it is desired. Choose Duolite® shadings for advanced light control, with an independently operated room darkening liner attached to the sheer shade.
Pirouette® Window Shadings
For those craving clean lines and a straightforward design, Pirouette® Window Shadings are just what you need. Exclusive to Hunter Douglas, these window shades feature fabric vanes attached to a single sheer backing. They combine ingenuity with a sense of refinement. When you tilt the vanes, they move in tandem to create a fluid, graceful effect. Should you want a completely unobstructed view, your Pirouette® shades will rise completely into the headrail. Create a custom look by choosing your preferred vane size, 4” or 5”. Enjoy UV protection of nearly 81% with the vanes open, and up to 99% protection when they are closed.
The Alustra® Collection
Elevate the appearance of both Silhouette® and Pirouette® Window Shadings by choosing fabric from the Alustra® Collection. The collection includes a thoughtfully curated suite of exclusive fabrics, textures, and colors. Unique fabric and texture combinations like nubby tweeds allow your sheer curtains to shine. The hardware and fabrics feature a subtle metallic sheen that mimics today’s most high-end design fixtures. The collection continues to impress industry experts and discerning consumers, alike.
Luminette® Privacy Sheers
Luminette® Privacy Sheers combine the soft romance of a sheer with the drama of traditional drapery. The fabric vanes rotate 180 degrees for exceptional light and privacy control. They look stunning in a sitting room or casual dining room. The line is available in a wide array of fabrics, textures, and colors. A room-darkening option is also available for any selection. You can purchase cut yardage of all Luminette® fabrics to create coordinating accessories, such as throw pillows. The SofTrak™ hardware system is concealed by fabric when the shades are closed for a polished appearance. These are the ideal sheer curtains for wide expanses of windows and sliding glass doors.
Operating Systems
Dangling cords are both unsightly and unsafe. All window shades from Hunter Douglas are available with the innovative PowerView® Automation system. This motorized option allows you to control your sheer shades using your voice, or your favorite mobile device. SoftTouch® is another cordless option that allows you to open and close your shades by gently pushing up, or pulling down on the battery-operated wand. The EasyRise™ system is a continuous cord loop system that is ideal for large areas of windows. Your Silhouette and Pirouette shades can also use the UltraGlide® system that features a single retractable cord or wand. The cord remains a consistent length and does away with dangerous dangling cords.
