Silhouette® Sheer Window Shades
What Are Silhouette Sheer Shades?
Silhouette sheer window shades combine soft, diffused light with beautiful view-through. Designed with adjustable fabric vanes suspended between sheer panels, they offer a unique balance of light control, privacy, and style.
- Incredible landscape views
- Soft, diffused natural light

As one of the most versatile custom window shades, Silhouette shades reduce glare while filling your home with a warm glow. Adjust the vanes to enjoy the view, or enhance control with dual shades for added privacy and room darkening when needed.
Key Features of Silhouette Sheer Window Shades
Designed for beautiful light, privacy, and control, Silhouette sheer shades offer innovative features that enhance how your space looks and feels throughout the day.
Dual Shades for Light Control & Privacy
Enjoy two shades in one with the dual shade system. Silhouette sheer shades provide soft, diffused light and view-through during the day, while a secondary blackout roller shade lowers into place for complete privacy and room darkening when needed. This combination delivers flexible light control solutions in a single headrail.
Halo™ Feature for Directional Lighting
The innovative Halo™ feature expands your lighting control by allowing the fabric vanes to tilt both down and upward. This unique design lets you direct natural light toward the ceiling or into the room, creating a bright, balanced atmosphere while reducing glare. It’s a modern solution for enhanced light control and comfort.
ClearView® Sheer Fabrics for Enhanced Views
Silhouette window shadings are known for their signature soft glow, but ClearView sheer fabrics take it a step further. Choose between traditional sheers for a gentle, diffused look or ClearView fabrics for sharper, more vibrant outdoor views. These sheer window shades allow you to enjoy natural light while maintaining daytime privacy.

Silhouette Shades FAQ
What are Silhouette sheer shades?
Silhouette sheer shades are a type of sheer window shade featuring soft fabric vanes suspended between two layers of sheer fabric. The vanes can be tilted to adjust light and privacy, while the sheer panels diffuse sunlight and maintain a view of the outdoors.
Do Silhouette shades provide privacy at night?
Yes, Silhouette shades can provide privacy when the fabric vanes are closed. The level of privacy depends on the fabric opacity, with room darkening options offering the most coverage. For complete privacy, dual shades can be added with a secondary blackout shade.

Are Silhouette shades energy efficient?
Silhouette shades can help improve energy efficiency by diffusing natural light, reducing glare, and minimizing the need for artificial lighting during the day. This can help create a more comfortable and energy-conscious home environment.
Can Silhouette shades be motorized?
Yes, Silhouette shades are available with PowerView Automation, allowing you to control your shades with a remote, smartphone, or smart home system. They can also be operated with SoftTouch™ motorization, which lets you adjust the shades by gently pulling or pushing on the wand.
