Elegance of Silhoutte Shadings

The modern Silhouette shade by Hunter Douglas provides 12 fabrics with 240 choices. Vane sizes vary from 2, 3 and 4 inches and can be chosen in translucent or light dimming opacity. You can choose from a few colors for your front sheer while the back sheer is always white. The top of your vanes will carry your color choice, while the bottom of them are always white to face the street.


Silhouette shadings help reduce heat/cold loss and heat/cold gain, will lower your utility bills and save valuable resources. If you are concerned with the R-value here are the following measurements for closed positions:
Translucent vane: 4.02 m²·K/W
Sunscreen vane: 4.00 m²·K/W
Light dimming vane: 4.05 m²·K/W

Regarding UV protection, vanes closed block 99% of harmful rays while open they block 88%.

The Silhoutte shade can be operated through Hunter Douglas' EasyRise cord loop system with widths up to 120". Optional upgrades include: UltraGlide (retractable pull cord stars at constant length for child safety), Tilt-Only/Tilt-Only-Low-Profile Shading (shade does not raise, cord loop opens and closes vanes, magnetic hold-down brackets are furnished to secure shading), Top-Down/Bottom-Up w/ TiltAnywhere (exclusive fabric, vanes rotate when shade is partially raised or lowered. Widths up to 72"). And lastly, of course, the PowerRise 2.0 system complete with handheld remote for widths up to 120".

As far as I've seen in the showroom (78th and York) thus far, Silhoutte shades are most of our walk-ins' favorite. It's simple modern elegance matched with efficient operation provides the perfect blind for any style room. Come on in and check it out!
