The Silhouette line of window shadings is my favorite from Hunter Douglas. They provide privacy, beauty and create a beautiful opaque light in your room when the sun is shining. They are really worth every penny and will last a very long time.
These Silhouette window shadings are so versatile. Aside
from coming in a wide range of colors, textures and sizes, they also open from
the top or the bottom, or a combination of both. This features allows you to
really filter natural lighting and direct it just where you want it to go. Each
shading has sheer front and back facing with fabric vanes between them.
When you open up the fabric vanes warm natural lighting brightens the room
without damaging your furniture with harsh UV rays. When you close the vanes
the light is subdued. You can also tilt the vanes to create a custom level of
illumination.
There are so many variations to these window shadings
when it comes to style and size; Silhouette window shadings also come in both
horizontal or vertical. So you can have
a lot of fun mixing and matching several different types of window shadings. If
you have a room with windows of varying sizes, being able to choose from a wide
variety of sizes and utilizing both horizontal and vertical window shadings can
be a very helpful feature.
Silhouette window shades can be fully raised or lowered
into a sleek head rail, making them pretty much disappear when you want them to.
The raising and lowering can also be done by remote control if you have the
Hunter Douglas PowerRise 2.0 installed. Another option available is the tilt-only Silhouette
window shadings. These will always keep the window shaded but allow you to
filter the light by tilting vanes. This is a great option for French doors,
narrow entryway windows or other narrow windows.
As I mentioned
earlier, the Silhouette window shadings help protect your furniture and décor
from being damaged by the sun’s UV rays, even if the vanes are completely open.
When they are open, the UV rays are blocked by about 63% and when they are
closed the UV rays are blocked by about 99%, that is pretty impressive!
I really, really love this product and I hope after
hearing about it you do too. With so many options there is almost no way you
couldn’t find a combination that will work perfectly for any room in your home.
I included pictures of the Matisse collection in Brushed Gresso (dining nook)
and Weathered Canvas (sitting area with green upholstered chair) and one of
that shows how these window shadings can be opened from the top and bottom.
