Silhouette Shades FAQ
What are Silhouette® shades?
Silhouette® window shadings are a Hunter Douglas product featuring soft fabric vanes suspended between two layers of sheer fabric. This design allows you to enjoy filtered natural light while maintaining a view to the outdoors. By tilting the vanes, you can control light, reduce glare, and increase privacy throughout the day.
Do Silhouette® shades provide privacy at night?
Silhouette® shades provide excellent daytime privacy when the vanes are open and light is diffused. At night, when interior lights are on, the sheer fabric can allow some visibility from outside. For enhanced nighttime privacy, Silhouette® shades can be paired with a dual shade system that includes a room darkening roller shade.
What’s the difference between Silhouette® and Pirouette® shades?
Silhouette® shades feature fabric vanes suspended between two sheer panels that tilt to control light. Pirouette® shades have solid fabric vanes attached to a single sheer backing, which fold open to reveal the view. While both offer light filtering and UV protection, Silhouette® shades provide a softer, more diffused look, while Pirouette® shades offer a more sculpted, fabric-forward appearance.
Are Silhouette® shades good for large windows?
Yes. Silhouette® shades are an excellent option for large windows and open spaces. They allow natural light to enter while reducing glare and preserving views. When paired with motorization, they are especially convenient for tall or hard-to-reach windows.
Can Silhouette® shades be motorized?
Yes. Silhouette® shades are available with Hunter Douglas PowerView® Automation, allowing you to control them with a remote, smartphone app, or voice command. Motorization makes it easy to adjust light and privacy, especially for large or hard-to-reach windows.
