Silhouette® Sheer Shades | Kaloko Shutter & Blind
Spotlight: Hunter Douglas Silhouette® Sheer Shades
We can describe traditional sheers as charming or even pretty, but how practical are they? The fabrics soften the frame and flutter in the breeze, but leave glare and privacy to chance.

That’s why our experts at Kaloko Shutter & Blind chose to spotlight Hunter Douglas Silhouette® Sheer Shades. If you want the airy aesthetic of a sheer but need a harder-working alternative, here is your match: This style outperforms its predecessors, delivers luxurious style, and showcases a glowing personality.
Silhouette® Sheer Shades: Designed for Radiance
Hunter Douglas launched this sheer shade for windows in 1991 and has refined it over the past decades. The ingenious design has S-shaped, adjustable fabric vanes suspended between two translucent sheer panels. Daylight passes through both layers and spreads out as a soft radiance — a glow that fills the room without glare.
You can open the entire treatment fully for unobscured outside views, or close it as desired. Tilt those soft vanes to control brightness and privacy; you can still see outdoors. That balance suits rooms facing a street or a neighbor’s yard, where a view is welcome but an audience is not.
Sheer Shades for Windows in Every Shape and Size
Silhouette® Sheer Shades are highly customizable. We order them for standard and specialty-shaped windows, including rectangles, arches, bay windows, glass patio doors, and even circular windows. The available height and width measurements also span a large variety.
The vane sizes come in 2", 3", or 4", and we suggest narrower vanes for smaller windows; larger vanes flatter wider expanses of glass. On top of that flexibility, Hunter Douglas offers this style in 150 fabric and color choices and Alustra® Collection fabrics. Matching a wall color, flooring, or upholstery is a breeze.
Hunter Douglas Silhouette® Sheer Shades, Enhanced Further
If you’re interested in adding room-darkening capabilities, Silhouette® Sheer Shades aren’t just for gentle light filtering. These upgrades work beautifully:
- A Deux™: Uses a sheer plus a room-darkening roller fabric on one headrail.
- Duolite®: Has a translucent front shade and a room-darkening roller shade in the back.
Want more outdoor visibility? ClearView® sheers offer a superior view through the fabric.
What are Silhouette Halo™ Window Shadings?
For the ultimate in light and privacy control, Silhouette Halo™ Window Shadings have double fabric vanes that rotate up, down, and anywhere in between. This feature lets you redirect the light to any spot in the room.
