When you’re shopping for window treatments, you have two main needs: light control and privacy control. Different kinds of window treatments offer more or less flexibility in these areas. Most shades, shutters, blinds, or other styles will allow you to open and close the window treatments, either letting light into your home unobstructed, or completely blocking the outside view to protect your privacy. On the other hand, some options such as blinds offer more flexibility and function by allowing you to adjust the tilt or angle of the slats to let some light filter through while still obscuring the view into your home.

Modern window shadings offer the same flexible functionality with an impressive appearance. Hunter Douglas window shadings are constructed with sheer fabric panels and fabric vanes that function much like the slats in blinds. While you can raise and lower the set as needed, you can also adjust the fabric vanes to let light diffuse through the sheer fabric. Hunter Douglas offers three different styles to suit your preferences.

Silhouette® Modern Window Shadings consist of two sheer fabric panels and S-shaped fabric vanes that are suspended between the two. With blinds, you can see the cords and cables tying them all together, but the sheer fabric in these shadings make it seem as though the vanes are suspended in mid-air. This creates an elegant, impressive design. When the vanes are adjusted to let light through the fabric, the soft diffusion creates a warm glow for a welcoming home.

Pirouette® Window Shadings feature a single back panel of sheer fabric with curved and contoured fabric vanes. When the vanes are adjusted, they move in tandem for unified, aesthetically pleasing motion. Silhouette and Pirouette Window Shadings both move up and down. If you have large windows or picture windows, Luminette® Privacy Sheers let you enjoy the same modern design, all on a horizontal track that lets the sheers move from side to side. With the style, you have a sheer front panel and vertical fabric vanes. These vanes can move a full 180 degrees, so you can choose how much light flows through.

Hunter Douglas Modern Window Shadings also can be installed with PowerView® Automation, a wireless operating system. With this system, you can control your shadings with your mobile device and even schedule their movements, making enjoying natural light in your home as easy as a swipe of your finger.
