Sheer Shading — Silhouette & Luminette
Sheer shading, such as the Hunter Douglas Silhouette and Luminette, combines the softness, beauty, and light diffusion of sheers with functional fabric vanes for total light control. The sheer fabric layers transform sunlight into remarkable beauty, while the fabric vanes suspended between the sheers give you precise control — allowing you to create an ambiance that reflects your own style. Sheer shading is offered in both horizontal and vertical orientation to accommodate windows, sliding glass doors, and larger expanses of glass.
Cellular Honeycomb Shades
Cellular shades, also commonly referred to as honeycomb shades, are an exceptionally versatile and energy-efficient window treatment. Their honeycomb-shaped cells trap air in distinct pockets to increase insulation, temperature control, and energy savings — keeping your home cool in summer and warm in winter. Honeycomb shades offer the most expansive range of options in the industry and are custom-made in an array of colors, textures, opacities, and pleat sizes. Available in premium fabrics ranging from sheer to blackout, they allow for optimal privacy and light control with minimal light gaps.
Banded & Zebra Shades
Banded shades, sometimes called zebra shades, are a breakthrough in style and function. They gently filter the sun, combining the light control of a horizontal blind with the beauty of a fabric shade. This window treatment style gives you the ability to raise and lower your shade while still controlling the amount of light — completely closed, completely open, or anywhere in between. The fabric-covered headrail beautifully blends the fabric and hardware together for a seamless appearance.
