The Best Silhouette Shade Features

You know that perfect time of day when the light fills the room with a warm glow? That’s the magic of Silhouette Sheer Shades. They let soft light into your home, creating a serene atmosphere while still offering a view of the outdoors. Explore silhouette shade features with us to find the perfect home ambiance.


The Vanes


Should you keep the vanes open or closed? Keeping them open allows natural light in and reveals a beautiful outdoor view. For those who prefer privacy or need to block harsh sunlight, closing the vanes works best.



Directional Light Control


If you have an area that may need more privacy such as a street facing windows, you can also adjust the vanes to channel light into the room, keeping them closed from the outside. This is called Halo.


The Colour Scheme

Choose from a variety of fabrics that complement your home’s style. Whether you prefer dark, light, or neutral tones, there’s a perfect option for you. Dark trim windows paired with Silhouette Shades create a striking effect.

  • Cordless Shades: Push/Pull with LiteRise

Doors vs. Windows
