Silhouette Shades surely prove that Hunter Douglas is a company that hasn't lost sight of romance. These innovative, mood enhancing window coverings are the stuff dreams are made of. Silhouette Shades transform rooms into light and airy sanctuaries, with the promise of tranquility and relaxed comfort.

Gone are the days of dark, heavy drapes. Two stylish, sheer fabric facings hug soft, adjustable vanes, creating the dreamy Silhouette Shade. While the window shade is not in use, the headrail becomes its perfect, unobtrusive hiding place, leaving you with an unobstructed view.

Silhouette Shades not only introduce elegance, but bring with them the benefit of meticulous light control. With the window shade lowered, a single control cord tilts the vanes with absolute accuracy, to create the exact ambiance you desire. View your surroundings through a hazy softness, adjust the vanes for a measure of light control, or close the Silhouette Shades for privacy.

In contrast to the standard 1" slats of ordinary window blinds, Silhouette Shades feature a vane size that starts at 2 inches. For a room with a view, opt for the Quartette with 4 inch vanes! Give your creativity free reign with diverse fabric choices, including classic woven vanes in the softest hues, linen or crinkle textures, or the translucency of chiffon-textured vanes. More intense, bold colors are also available for a fashion statement that is a shade stronger.

The whisper-quiet operation of the Silhouette Shades, won't disturb the tranquil mood created by these window treatments. Hunter Douglas has developed enough system options to accommodate every interior design need.

These include a retractable cord system, a continuous cord loop option, and the convenient top-down/bottom-up system, which allows you to manipulate your Silhouette Shades in a number of ways. The compact tilt-only, low-profile system is the perfect partner for French door Silhouette Shades.

Silhouette Shades can also be maneuvered with a battery-powered system, offering remote control operation. This option includes a timer for raising or lowering your shades at specified times. Electrically powered motorized Silhouette Shades are operated with a remote control unit, or a wall switch. This alternative is especially handy when it comes to hard to reach windows.

Hunter Douglas has the window treatment expertise to make provision for all those awkward windows, such as arches, round windows, and angled windows. Silhouette Shade designs even cater for sliding doors.

In spite of their delicate appearance, Silhouette Shades offer superb energy efficiency, UV protection, and sound absorption. In addition, these low-maintenance, anti-static window shades are soil and dust resistant. All the components are of a high quality, and are color coordinated to complement the appearance of your Silhouette Shades.

You may not be able to live in a make-believe world of fairytales and princes, but you can surround yourself with the romantic, floating beauty of Silhouette Shades.
