Perks of Silhouette® Window Shadings for Homes
When it comes to adding new window treatments to your home, you most likely have a running list of perks that you want. This can be certain designs, durability, light control, room darkening, UV protection, and more. No matter what perks you are looking for, one thing is for certain: You want to make sure the window treatment you’re looking at offers a variety of functional and aesthetic perks. After all, what good is a beautiful shade if it works poorly? On the flip side, no one wants a shade they hate seeing every day, even if it does operate smoothly. Fortunately, Hunter Douglas offers a shade that provides a variety of benefits that you are sure to love. Silhouette® Window Shadings offer soft, adjustable S-shaped vanes that let you enjoy both light and privacy at the same time. Read on to learn more about these stunning shades.
Perk 1: Views and Privacy
When you choose some big box store brands, you might have to decide between light or privacy when you hang your window treatments up. Not with Silhouette® Window Shadings! Silhouette® ClearView® lets you enjoy your views without letting the world see the inside of your home. This is thanks to the white sheer within the shade. Even when the shades are open, you can enjoy privacy and sunlight. Simply tilt the vanes to your desired position and enjoy. Speaking of light control, Silhouette® Window Shadings provide UV protection to keep your furnishings, artwork, and flooring safe even when those harsh sun rays are coming down on your home.
Perk 2: Unique Styles
Like we said, a shade that works hard is great, but it also needs to look beautiful in your home as well! You don’t want to grimace each time you see your windows, after all. Fortunately, Silhouette® Window Shadings go above and beyond when it comes to style. In fact, The Alustra® Collection of Silhouette provides gorgeous fabrics, textures, colors, and hardware to transform your window into a work of art. Consider popular colors like Smoke and Mirrors, Capri, Castille, and more to make these shade work for your home’s aesthetic.
Perk 3: Room Darkening
As much as we love sunshine, there is nothing like basking in some shade when we are watching a movie or trying to catch some Zs. Perfect for bedrooms, media rooms, and other rooms that need a little more shade than others, Silhouette Duolite® Shadings not only offer the light-diffusing benefits of a traditional Silhouette® shade, but also boast an independently operated roller shade that is located right behind it for total light control. This allows you to achieve shade with the utmost ease when you need it most. This is also great if you live on a busy street that sees a lot of car headlights or street lamps streaming in.
