Hunter Douglas Silhouette® Window Shadings

Silhouette Window Shadings transform harsh light into soft illumination. Featuring soft, fabric vanes suspended between two sheer layers of fabric, Silhouettes provide transformational beauty and practical benefits. The vanes and sheers combine to softly filter and diffuse harsh sunlight and provide UV protection for your floors and furnishings—up to 88% UV protection with vanes tilted open and 99% when closed.


Silhouettes enhance natural daylighting by dispersing sunlight deep into the room and reducing the need for electric lights. Light control options are translucent, light dimming, and room darkening (with optional A Deux™ dual shade option). They also preserve your outdoor views with no cords running through the shade to obstruct your view through when down and soft fabric vanes (available in 2, 3, or 4 inches) collapse to roll up completely into a fabric-covered headrail.



Operating Systems: Literise® (cordless), UltraGlide® (self-retracting cord), EasyRise™ (cord loop), PowerView™ (automated with remote control)

Traditional Shades

Custom Roller Shades

Roller shades are the most basic and traditional window coverings. Fabric hangs flat in the window and rolls up on to a roller at top of window.


There are hundreds of fabrics, textures, patterns, and colors from which to choose, ranging from sheer to room darkening. We can also take your own fabric and turn it into roller shades. There are all sorts of options for finishing touches on your roller shades.

The top can be as simple as a plain roller, you can add a fabric valance, or the shade can roll into a fabric covered cassette or square metal fascia. The bottom of the shade can be a straight hem bar or it can be scalloped with decorative trim.


Operating Systems: Clutch with bead chain, cordless spring roller, automated with remote control.

Roman Shades


We provide two varieties of Roman shades (Vignette Modern Roman Shades & Classic Roman Shades) to match your unique style and requirements.

Hunter Douglas

Vignette Modern Roman Shades

Vignette Modern Roman Shades are an updated twist on the classic. There are the Traditional 4 Inch Classic Fold (hobbled) and the 6 Inch Tailored Flat Fold that actually operate like a roller shade and roll up into a fabric covered cassette head rail.


There is also the Tiered 4 Inch Classic Fold that operates like a classic Roman shade and folds up, as well as the Traversed with VertiGlide 4 Inch fold system that hangs vertically like a drapery.

With 15 distinct fabrics in an array of luxurious colors and the option of semi-sheer, translucent, or room darkening, there is a Vignette for every room and window.


Operating Systems: EasyRise (cord loop), UltraGlide (self-retracting cord), LiteRise (cordless), PowerView™ (automated with remote control)

Hunter Douglas

Classic Roman Shades

Roman shades, which softly fold up as they are raised, are a more stylish alternative to roller shades. They also are available in a wide range of materials including woven woods, grass weaves, and fabrics, many of which overlap with roller shade fabrics. We can also take your own fabric and turn it into Roman shades.


There are many different styles of Roman shades. Some terms you might hear include Flat, Hobbled, Knife Pleat, Batten Back, Batten Front, Relaxed, and more. These terms all refer to how the shade looks when it is lowered.

There are options for room darkening or light filtering liners, as well as different finishes for the bottom and side edges. Some are also available with Top Down/Bottom Up.


Operating Systems: Cord loop, cordless (manual), cordless automated with remote control
