Pirouette® Shades in Halifax
What Are Pirouette® Window Shadings?
Beautiful solid fabric vanes fold in place to reveal landscape views through a sheer back panel. Pirouette® Shades are an exclusive product—available through Gotcha Covered Seeview Blinds & Shutters, your local Hunter Douglas dealer serving Halifax, Dartmouth, Bedford, and surrounding Nova Scotia communities.
How Pirouette® Shades Work
Transition from light to dark: Pirouette® Shades offer the versatility of a changing atmosphere throughout the course of the day, shifting from complete coverage to diffused natural light.
Fabric vanes fold in place: The solid fabric vanes lie flat, blocking entering light, then folding in place, giving way to a full sheer back panel that shows off the view.
Sheer backing preserves the view: The view of the landscape is enhanced, with sheer shade fabrics that soften the glare and filter harsh rays.
Pirouette® Shades for Large Windows
Pirouette® Shades are custom-fit and can cover oversized windows—common in Nova Scotia homes. With sheer views and adjustable light control, they’re an ideal solution for large windows. Because Pirouette® Shades transition from light to dark—with the versatility to show off the most beautiful views through sheer fabrics, they are an ideal option as window treatments for large windows.
ClearView® vs Traditional Sheers
The sheer back panel of Pirouette® shades is available in two varying options. The first is a traditional sheer fabric. This is a soft view, a hazy backdrop of the landscape. The second invites a black sheer fabric for a crisp backdrop. Aptly named ClearView®, the sharpened view enhances the scene. Both choices invite diffused light and a glare-free atmosphere with UV protection.
Room Darkening & Privacy Options
Pirouette® Shades can be closed for privacy and enhanced light control, including room-darkening fabrics. When the vanes fold open, the sheer backing filters light while preserving views. For a full reveal, the shade rolls neatly into the headrail.

Frequently Asked Questions for Pirouette® Window Shades
What are Pirouette® shades best used for?
Pirouette® Window Shades are ideal for homeowners who want flexible light control while maintaining beautiful outdoor views. Their fabric vanes fold to reveal a sheer backing that softens incoming light without blocking the landscape. When closed, they provide enhanced privacy and light control, including room darkening options depending on fabric selection.
What’s the difference between Pirouette® and Silhouette®?
Pirouette® shades feature solid fabric vanes attached to a single sheer backing. The vanes fold open to reveal the sheer panel and fold closed for privacy and light control.
Silhouette® shades, by contrast, are constructed with two sheer layers and suspended fabric vanes between them that tilt to adjust light. Both options provide UV protection and soft, diffused light, but Pirouette® offers a more sculpted, fabric-forward appearance at the window.
Do Pirouette® shades come in room darkening options?
Yes. Pirouette® Window Shades are available in room darkening fabrics for enhanced privacy and light control. They are also available with the A Deux dual shade system, which offers a secondary room darkening roller shade for even greater flexibility.
Can Pirouette® shades be motorized with PowerView®?
Yes. Pirouette® shades can be paired with Hunter Douglas PowerView® Automation, allowing you to adjust the vanes and raise or lower the shade using a remote, smartphone app, or voice command. Automation is especially convenient for large or hard-to-reach windows.
Are Pirouette® shades good for large windows?
Yes. Pirouette® shades are an excellent option for large windows. Their sheer backing preserves outdoor views while softening glare, and the fabric vanes provide adjustable light control. This makes them ideal for homes in Halifax and surrounding Nova Scotia communities where natural light and landscape views are key design features.
