Why Choose Silhouette Sheer Shades

Silhouette shades are a premium collection of Hunter Douglas window treatments, designed for homeowners who want more than basic light control.

With adjustable fabric vanes suspended between sheer panels, you can fine-tune the balance of light and privacy without sacrificing the look of your windows.

For added versatility, Silhouette shades can be customized with features like dual shades for room darkening, motorization for effortless control, and ClearView^® fabrics for a sharper view to the outdoors. The result is a window treatment that enhances both the function and style of your home.

Key Features of Silhouette Shades

Dual Shades for Light Control

Dual shades combine a Silhouette sheer shade with a secondary blackout roller shade in one streamlined headrail, giving you complete control over light and privacy. Lower the sheer shade to enjoy soft, filtered daylight and maintain your view, or engage the blackout shade when you need room darkening for bedrooms or media spaces. This dual system allows each shade to operate independently, so you can easily transition your space throughout the day. Pairing dual shades with motorized controls makes adjusting light levels effortless.

Halo Directional Light Control

The Halo feature is an innovative upgrade that gives you even more control over natural light. While traditional sheer shades tilt to filter light or provide privacy, Halo allows the fabric vanes to tilt upward as well—directing light toward the ceiling instead of into your eyes. This means you can maintain privacy while still brightening your space with soft, indirect light. It’s especially helpful in living areas, kitchens, and rooms with strong sunlight, where glare reduction is just as important as visibility. Halo is one of the features that sets Silhouette shades apart within today’s window covering solutions.

ClearView fabrics allow you to enjoy natural light and your surroundings without sacrificing comfort or style.
