Window shades near Miami, Florida (FL), that offer innovative fabrics, including Silhouette® Window Shadings

Sensible Light Control

Naturally the most important thing your window shades can do is control light, that is, after all, what they are designed to do. And it’s an important role in shaping the interior design of your home because natural light effects design in so many ways. A soft fabric for window shades, like a sheer, creates a soft lighting effect and a warm-welcoming ambiance. Sheer window shadings, like Silhouette® Window Shadings, are great in living rooms or bedrooms because their innovative design creates a range of lighting effects great for the changing conditions and activities that happen in busy rooms of the home throughout the day. Hunter Douglas Silhouette® Window Shadings use horizontal, opaque, fabric vanes that are suspended between two layers of sheer materials to create innovate, view-through window shades that have adjustable light-control and privacy settings that can be controlled effortlessly.

Another innovative shade from Hunter Douglas that uses two distinct fabrics in one cohesive design are Duolite® shades. Duolite® shades utilize an innovate roller shade system with two fabrics; one sheer fabric for filtered lighting and the other a room darkening fabric to block light and provide privacy. This multi-functional design is available on several Hunter Douglas shades including Vignette Modern Roman Shades, cellular honeycomb shades, and Silhouette Duolite® Shadings.

Creating Personal Style

Window treatments are at eye level in most rooms and occupy a prominent visual space that is highly influential over the style and feel of a room. Not only does Hunter Douglas have over 2,400 fabrics for window treatments in their collection, they also have several different styles of fabric-based window treatments including:

  • Roman Shades
  • Roller Shades
  • Screen Shades
  • Sheer Shades
  • Drapery and Side Panels
  • Woven Wood Shades
  • Cellular Honeycomb Shades
With the combination of both a large fabric selection and a range of construction styles, homeowners can truly create a window fashion that matches their individual décor, personal tastes, and household lifestyle.

Sensible Light Control

Good fabric shades don’t just look good, they treat you good too; they take care of your home and they protect your wallet. Silhouette Duolite® Shadings can protect your home from the damaging effect of UV rays by filtering up to 88% of them from sunlight. They also create a softer illumination that’s easier on eyes and reduces blinding glare for a more ocularly friendly atmosphere.

Cellular honeycomb shades are another fabric-based treatment whose innovative design equates to major homeowner benefits. Cellular honeycomb shades have spheroidal hollows in each vane that create insulating air pockets blocking energy exchange between the inside and outside of your home. The insulating effects of honeycomb shades help make a home more energy efficient on a whole as up to 30% of a home’s energy (be that heat in the winter or air conditioning in the summer) can be lost out windows. More energy saved means less money spent.
