Hunter Douglas Silhouette® Shade
If you're looking to control the amount of light entering into a room, Silhouette® window shadings offer the perfect solution. Silhouette is made of two sheer fabric facings with fabric vanes suspended between them to allow for maximum flexibility. When the vanes are open, the view outside is preserved and your home's natural light is gently filtered. Closed, the fabric vanes allow you privacy while maintaining the soft, elegant style Silhouette window shadings create. Silhouette shadings are available in a variety of fabrics, colors, and 2" and 3" vane sizes.
