Enjoy Summer with Silhouette Shades

Silhouette shades scream summer because they allow you to enjoy the season without suffering from the heat or feeling isolated in your home blocked off from the more enjoyable elements of summer. Additionally, Silhouette® Window Shadings from Hunter Douglas offer protection against the prolonged hours of daylight without sacrificing their soft, graceful style.

Block UV

The UV rays in direct sunlight can equal trouble if your home is vulnerable to their destructive tendencies. From flooring to furniture to artwork, the items inside your home can suffer from sun damage that presents in numerous ways including discoloring or fading, warping or bowing, cracking, peeling, and aging. In the summertime when daylight hours grow to them longest of the year, the extended exposure can cause more damage if left unchecked. Silhouette shades can block up to 88% of the harmful UV rays providing extra protection, especially in the summer.

Open Feel

With some styles of window coverings to keep sunlight out, you have to close up completely blocking your view and creating an indoor space that feels dark and closed off. With Silhouette shades, the translucent sheer materials can diffuse light to provide a level of control even when open. And, like hardwood shutters, Silhouette shades have opaque slats that can be tilted to deflect some or all incoming light. In the summertime that means with Silhouette shades, you can block intense direct sunlight but still have soft natural illumination in the space.

Light Control

Hunter Douglas Silhouette® Window Shadings are available with the exclusive Duolite® room darkening system. With Duolite® a second, blackout backing is added to the window treatment using an independently operated and very discrete roller shade. The resulting overall window treatment has exponentially more light control versatility and can create lighting effects from soft diffusion to complete, blackout darkness. In the summertime, the blackout aspects of Silhouette Duolite® Shadings prove ideal in the bedroom to create suitable sleeping areas for those that like to go to bed early or to get up late (but are disturbed when trying to do so because of the long hours of daylight). The blackout features of Silhouette shades are also useful in rooms with southern or western exposure as blocking direct sunlight from entering your house in the summer also equates to blocking some of the solar heat that comes with natural sunlight to help maintain a cooler, more comfortable indoor temperature.

With its versatile light-control abilities and translucent yet protective sheer materials, Silhouette® Window Shadings from Hunter Douglas are ideal window treatments for California homes in the summer. Silhouette shades allow you to enjoy summer while still maintaining a comfortable indoor temperature, and with color and material options aplenty they can harmonize seamlessly with existing décor.
