Selecting Silhouette® Sheer Shades
At Mill Design and Blinds in Westford, Massachusetts, we have over 35 years of experience in providing each of our customers with superior service to help find the perfect window treatment for any space in their home. If you are in the market for luxurious, aesthetically appealing shades that diffuse light, provide privacy and are highly customizable, then look no further than Hunter Douglas Silhouette® Sheer Shades. Our professional and talented staff are known for our fantastic customer service and attention to detail, and we’ll work with you to pick the right sheer shades for your space.
Silhouette® Sheer Shades
The Silhouette® Sheer Shades from Hunter Douglas are an innovative, beautiful window treatment that let you enjoy filtered light in the daytime while still maintaining the privacy that blinds provide. These shades have S-shaped fabric vanes that float between two sheers and can be tilted to achieve your desired level of light filtration and privacy. Silhouette® Sheer Shades also provide protection from UV rays so that your furniture, décor, and flooring don’t fade due to light exposure.
Customizing your Silhouette® Sheer Shades
At Mill Design and Blinds, we are dedicated to our customers and want to help you find the window treatments of your dreams. Luckily, these shades from Hunter Douglas can be customized in different ways to achieve your ideal look and functionality:
- Room Darkening: Who would have thought that sheer shades could be room darkening? It’s true! The Silhouette® Duolite™ system achieves this by combining a Silhouette® Sheer Shade in the front with a room-darkening roller shade panel in the back. This system makes it easier than ever to set the right mood in any room and control the amount of light in your space.
- Maintain Your View and Privacy: With Clearview® sheers, you can achieve and maintain exceptional views of the outdoors while maintaining your privacy and ensuring that the view into your home is obstructed. These specialized sheers provide an exceptionally clear view through to the outside.
- Manage Light Throughout the Day. If you are looking for the ability to redirect sunlight toward or away from parts of your space, then the Silhouette® Halo™ Window Shadings are perfect for you. The Halo™ sheer shades have unique double fabric vanes that can rotate up, down, or in any direction so you can redirect sunlight away from your television to reduce afternoon glare or toward where you enjoy reading a book in the morning sun.
PowerView® Automation
In addition to a beautiful filtration of light and your desired amount of privacy, our team can also help outfit your Silhouette™ Sheer Shades from Hunter Douglas with the third-generation Hunter Douglas PowerView® Automation operating system. This system, powered by Bluetooth technology, allows you to control your sheer shades anytime with just the touch of a button or the swipe of a finger. To bring this convenience to your home, talk to one of our team members at Mill Design and Blinds and we will get you set up with the most technologically advanced window treatments on the market!
