Hunter Douglas Sheers and Shadings

Use Of Hunter Douglas Sheers and Shadings

Similar to blind and shades, sheers and shadings provide privacy, light diffusion, and style to your windows; they can be installed as standalone dressings or combined with drapes and curtains. For the most part, sheers and shadings present a softer appearance when compared to blinds and full shades. The fabrics used by Hunter Douglas for shadings and sheers are specifically engineered and crafted to block sunlight and offer protection against ultraviolet rays. Unlike blinds and solid curtains, sheers and shadings diffuse light instead of blocking it.

Hunter Douglas Shadings for Your Miami Home

There are two lines of horizontally-oriented Hunter Douglas shadings: Silhouette® and Pirouette®. These two shadings feature horizontal fabric vanes that can be adjusted for privacy and natural illumination. The Silhouette® ClearView system is recommended for panoramic windows that provide views of the water or nature; the Duolite® system is better for maximum privacy and darkening. Pirouette® shadings look more like blinds, but they are softer and can be cut from a variety of decorative colors and patterns to match the interior design. Both Pirouette® and Silhouette® shadings are ideal for designer kitchens.

Hunter Douglas Sheers For Your Miami Home or Office

The Luminette® line of sheers is perfect for spaces where you want to combine the styles of vertical blinds with the soft texture of fine curtains. You can’t go wrong with these Hunter Douglas sheers; they are often installed in floor-to-ceiling window structures such as sliding glass windows that connect to covered lanais and Florida rooms. When the vanes of these sheers are fully extended, the backing manages to diffuse the light and provide some privacy. When the vanes are fully closed, you get an effect similar to that of a fine curtain. If your interior design goals are aligned with minimalism and discretion, Hunter Douglas sheers are the way to go. As for the headrail system, it is designed to be completely out of sight.
