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.
