Style. It's what holds a room together. What gives it a personality. A "look." Even the endless play of light and shadow throughout your home reflects your style of living. Which is why each room should begin with Silhouette window shadings. They provide a backdrop of understated luxury. And they do it while performing wonders of light control.

Consider how Silhouette shadings are constructed -- two sheer fabric facings with fabric vanes suspended between them. When the vanes are open, the view outside is preserved and your home's natural light is gently filtered. Closed, the fabric vanes allow privacy while maintaining the soft, elegant style Silhouette® Window Shadings create. Silhouette shadings come in a rich collection of colors, fabrics and textures and a choice of either 2" or 3" vane sizes.

Silhouette® Window Shadings combine the best features of draperies, blinds and shades in one proprietary design.

• The soft fabric vanes tilt for variable light control

• The sheer facings diffuse sunlight into soft, natural illumination

• The vanes adjust to further soften incoming light and help protect your furnishings from the sun's damaging rays.

• When completely lowered the shading's vanes are fully operational

• A single continuous cord color coordinated to the fabric easily raises and lowers the shading

• When raised, the shading is concealed within the sleek headrail that is carefully color-coordinated to the fabric color

• All shadings are custom-made to fit individual windows

• As with all of our products, this deceptively durable sheer window fashion is backed by a lifetime limited warranty from Hunter Douglas

 Design Options 

Specialty Shapes

Silhouette® shadings can be ordered for arches and angles. For these applications, only inside mounts are available and the shading will be stationary with the vanes in the open position. Tilt-only shadings are also an option for narrow windows. Arches, Angles, and Tilt-only shadings are only available in the two-inch vane size

PowerRise®

For hard-to-reach windows, we offer PowerRise® motorization.

PowerRise® is a revolutionary, battery-operated, remote control system that's simple to operate. Point the sleek remote control toward the infrared eye on the headrail and press the button to raise or lower the shade. Touch the button again to stop the shade. Because there's no special wiring required, a Silhouette® window shading with PowerRise® is easy to install, operate and maintain.

• Battery-operated -- Eight standard alkaline batteries provide all the power needed to operate your motorized shade. With normal use, the batteries will last for a year or more. Plus, they're quick and easy to replace when necessary. With the shading fully raised, just remove it from the window to remove the battery wand. The label on the wand illustrates proper battery orientation to help ensure the batteries are replaced correctly.
• Satellite battery pack -- A satellite battery pack is optional for inside mounts, standard for outside mounts.
• Satellite eye -- If the infrared eye on the headrail will be covered by a top treatment or cornice, you can order the optional satellite eye. It can be positioned up to 8' away from the headrail for easy, reliable operation. The satellite eye includes a manual control button.
• Manual control button -- A manual control button for each shade is located next to the infrared eye on the headrail or on the satellite eye. The button can be used to operate the shade if the remote control is misplaced or if its batteries fail.
• Channel Selection -- Two channels are available to operate Silhouette® with PowerRise®. Normally, channel one is the only channel needed. There may be special circumstances with adjacent or stacked shades, however, when channel two operation is desired for independent control of each shade.
