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.

Hunter Douglas Silhouette® Shades Control Options

Homeowners have varying needs, and five control systems offer something for everyone.

PowerView® Automation

Upgrade your Silhouette® window shades with the innovative, feature-rich PowerView® Automation system. Enjoy whisper-quiet, smooth movement of your shades using the PowerView® App or Pebble® Remote. Connect your smart home system to PowerView® Automation via the Powerview® Gateway to control your shades from anywhere.

UltraGlide®

This manual-operation design features a sleek, retractable wand. Gently pull on the wand to raise or lower your Silhouette® shades. The wand remains a constant length for a clean aesthetic.

LiteRise®

LiteRise® is a straightforward push/pull operation system. Push or pull the bottom rail to lift and lower your shades; the shade remains securely in place when you release the rail.

EasyRise™

A wall-mounted cord tensioner holds the loop in place, eliminating dangling cords. EasyRise™ provides smooth movement and is excellent for large windows.
