All About Hunter Douglas Silhouette® Sheer Shades
Hunter Douglas introduced Silhouette® Sheer Shades 25 years ago and this window treatment is still a true game-changer—its hybrid design leverages the best features of blinds and shades.
With these sheer window coverings, you won’t have to sacrifice light control, privacy, or style. Our design experts at Covered Creations know all there is to know about Hunter Douglas Silhouette® Sheer Shades and is happy to help you find the perfect fit for your home.
What Are Hunter Douglas Silhouette® Sheer Shades?
These horizontal sheer window treatments have S-shaped fabric vanes that seemingly float in between the front and back sheer panels. They diffuse light beautifully for a radiant daytime glow; the sheer panels obscure views into your home while still allowing you to enjoy the scenery outside.
This combination of openness and privacy makes Silhouette® Sheer Shades an exceptional choice for kitchens, bedrooms, living rooms, family rooms, and dining rooms. And with 150 fabric/color choices, you’ll easily find selections to complement your design scheme.
Silhouette® Sheer Shades accommodate openings in these sizes:
- Height: 12” - 136”
- Width: 6” - 144”
We customize these elegant shades with 2”, 3”, or 4” vanes. The fabrics also offer UV protection to keep floors and furnishings from fading; to control light and privacy, just raise, lower, or tilt the vanes.
You can also order the sheers with Duolite®, a room-darkening fabric liner on the same control mechanism. Hunter Douglas Silhouette® Sheer Shades also fit specialty shapes, like arched windows, bay windows, and sliding glass doors.
