Room darkening shades have always been popular for bedrooms. Here in the Cleveland area, we’re noticing a lot more interest in light blocking shades for media rooms as well. The latest innovations mean that you can have blackout shades even with sheer collections. Silhouette room darkening shades come with a dual shade option. Originally known as “A Deux,” the secondary roller shade option has been renamed for all window coverings as Duolite. For Silhouettes, it’s the sheer shade in front with a secondary blackout roller shade in the back on a single headrail. Check out this video to learn more:
With dual shades, you get the best of both worlds: the beauty of a light-filtering fabric shade and the room-darkening capabilities of a roller shade. Even with the two separate shades, dual shades are easy to operate. You can use the same operating system front and back, or mix and match with one operating system on the roller shade and one operating system on the light filtering choice. Choose from manual or automated lifting systems, only from Hunter Douglas.
Silhouette Shades
On the room-facing side of the window, is the beautiful Silhouette shade. The vanes of Silhouette window shades magically float between two sheers. Simply tilt the vanes to achieve your desired level of light and privacy. With no cords or tapes, the sheer facings allow you to view through the vanes to the outside, while maintaining a discreet level of privacy.
The sheers soften sunlight to create warmth, without too much brightness. Choose the vane fabric that complements the look of your home, including Alustra products, to be paired with a room-darkening roller shade option. Silhouette shades are available in a wide variety of colors and fabrics.
Roller Shades
With Duolite, a high quality Hunter Douglas roller shade shares a headrail cassette with a Silhouette shade. With the roller shade in the back, you can enjoy complete room darkening when you want it–perfect for media rooms and bedrooms. Roller shades also protect your furniture, flooring and artwork from fading caused by harmful UV rays.
