Product Spotlight: Hunter Douglas Silhouette® Sheer Shades
Traditional window coverings serve practical purposes and can be quite beautiful, but certain ones gain celebrity status. Nest Expressions features Hunter Douglas shades near Wexford, PA, and we’re positively smitten with Hunter Douglas Silhouette® Sheer Shades. You can’t take your eyes away from them; the unique style commands attention.
Hunter Douglas Silhouette® Sheer Shades Create a Radiant Glow
These distinctive, horizontal window coverings have soft fabric vanes suspended between two sheer panels, creating a unique floating appearance. They control UV rays and turn strong sunlight into a gentle, radiant glow.
Those signature S-shaped vanes filter sunlight while maintaining a view to the outside. Throughout the day, Silhouette® Sheer Shades provide privacy while still allowing light to enter; at night, closing the vanes creates complete privacy. This versatility makes them an elegant, stylish choice for any room requiring light management with style.
The Versatility of Silhouette® Sheer Shades
Hunter Douglas offers Silhouette® Sheer Shades in over 150 fabric and color combinations, ranging from translucent to room-darkening options. Choose from 2", 3", or 4" vane sizes and enhancements like:
- Duolite® system
- A Deux™ design
- ClearView® sheers
- The Alustra® Collection exclusive fabrics
Silhouette® Sheer Shades accommodate windows sized from 6” to 144” wide and 12” to 136” high. We also customize them for specialty-shaped windows, like arches, glass patio doors, and French doors.
The Perfect Rooms for Silhouette® Sheer Shades
Hunter Silhouette® Sheer Shades are surprisingly versatile and work beautifully in different interior spaces:
- Living Rooms: The soft diffusion creates an inviting atmosphere for entertaining and preserves outdoor views.
- Dining Areas: The gentle filtration elevates dining experiences, making everything from intimate dinners to drinks with friends feel more special.
- Home Offices: These shades provide sufficient natural light, reduce screen glare, and prevent sun damage.
- Bedrooms: The room-darkening options make Silhouette® Sheer Shades suitable for sleeping environments. You can add custom drapery for added light control.
