What You Need to Know About Silhouette® Sheer Shades
Sheer shades are an excellent way to introduce subtle elegance to a room. They’re lightweight yet add distinct visual weight to your home. Creative Window Fashions loves Silhouette® Shades, and we share everything you need to know about them.

The Basics of Silhouette® Shades
Sheer fabric protects furnishings and flooring from UV damage and diffuses sunlight. S-shaped fabric vanes, available in 2”, 3”, and 4” widths, sit between dual sheer panels for extra privacy. You can easily incorporate Silhouette® Shades into any room with the Whole House Solution™, which coordinates a cohesive appearance with complementary horizontal and vertical options. Silhouette® Shades are available in various specialty shapes: arches, angles, circles, bay windows, sliding glass doors, French doors, and sidelights.
Optional Upgrades for Silhouette® Sheer Shades
Why should you consider upgrading your Silhouette® Window Shades? Simply put, upgrading elevates their appearance, functionality, and value. Five optional features will take your shades to stylish new heights.
- ClearView®: Enhance gorgeous views with ClearView® sheers. They feature a specially designed black rear panel that provides the most desirable view without compromising your privacy.
- Duolite®: Versatile light control is at your fingertips with Duolite®. It features an opaque liner behind a sheer front shade on one headrail. The room-darkening shade will lower only when you also lower the front shade.
- A Deux™: A Deux™ is ideal for homeowners who want maximum flexibility of light control. It features two shades, like Duolite®, but A Deux™ allows for independent operation of both.
- Silhouette Halo™ Window Shades: The vanes of standard Silhouette® Shades can only tilt downward. The innovative design of Silhouette Halo™ Window Shadings features double fabric vanes that can move in any direction.
