Understanding The Difference Between Hunter Douglas Sheer Shade
Hunter Douglas is well-renowned for its impressive collection of stunning window treatments, including stylish sheer shades. Sheer shades are designed to filter incoming light, removing the harsh and potentially harmful intensity and transforming it into warm, diffuse light. Additionally, their light filtration means that prying eyes can’t see in, so you can enjoy sunlight without having to sacrifice your privacy.
Hunter Douglas offers three different sheer shade options, each with unique styles and features. Columbia Paint and Wallcover is proud to carry the entire selection of Hunter Douglas shades, and to help you find the best options for your home, we want to describe the differences between each of these offerings.
Silhouette® Sheer Shades
The first sheer shade offering from Hunter Douglas to discuss is the Silhouette® Sheer Shades. Like all other Hunter Douglas sheer shades, these shades feature sheer panels to help filter and transform the light entering your space.
However, these shades feature an S-shaped fabric vane that floats between them and the sheer fabric. This fabric vane can be tilted, giving you precise control over your privacy and how much light is filtering into your space. These shades are perfect for busy home areas, where the desired light or privacy changes throughout the day.
Pirouette® Window Shadings
Pirouette® Window Shadings feature soft, adjustable fabric vanes attached to a sheer backing. The fabric vanes can be moved in tandem to adjust the amount of light entering your home, and the whole assembly fits into the headrail when opened, leaving you with a perfectly clear view through your windows.
Pirouette® Window Shadings come in various fabric options, including stunning options from the Alustra® collection. This allows you to find a fantastic fabric that best suits your tastes and your home’s design. These shades are the best choice for areas where you want to show off your interior design, as they can be the perfect accent or stay out of the way entirely.
Luminette® Sheer Panels
Capping off the selection of Hunter Douglas sheer shades are the Luminette® Sheer Panels. These vertical sheer shades are designed to give you perfect control over privacy and light. They’re made with rotating, vertical fabric vanes that operate like traditional vertical blinds within the drape-like, sheer material.
These large panels are the best choice for larger windows or doors, as their large panel size and vertical blind fabric vanes allow them to easily cover these expanses while offering the ability to control light and privacy.
