Key Features of Silhouette Window Shades

Dual Shades for Light & Privacy

Silhouette shades are available with a dual shade system—two shades in one headrail. The front sheer layer filters light and maintains your view, while the secondary shade provides room-darkening privacy when needed. This combination gives you full control over light and atmosphere at any time of day.

Halo Feature for Expanded Light Control

The Halo feature adds a new level of light control by allowing the fabric vanes to tilt both upward and downward. This directional control lets you reflect light toward the ceiling for softer, more even illumination throughout the room—something traditional sheer shades cannot achieve.

ClearView sheer fabrics offer a sharper, more detailed outdoor view compared to traditional sheers. While standard fabrics create a soft, diffused appearance, ClearView uses darker sheer materials to enhance clarity—perfect for homes with scenic landscapes or mountain views.
