This month, we would like to introduce  Silhouette® FR Window Shadings, a great product from the Window Coverings line of Hunter Douglas Contract.

A category-defining combination of functionality and appearance, Hunter Douglas’ exclusive Silhouette FR ® windows shadings filter light while reducing glare as well as block light and provide privacy. Suspended between two sheer facings of polyester, adjustable fabric vanes can be raised and lowered like standard shades and opened or closed like horizontal blinds.

When the vanes are open, the shadings work like sheers, filtering light to eliminate glare and create an inviting glow. Vanes can be tilted to block light and provide privacy, and the shadings roll up completely into a slim headrail, allowing unobstructed views.

Design Options

EASYRISE™
This continuous cord loop and clutch assembly makes operating large shades easier.

TOP-DOWN/BOTTOM-UP
Provides the ultimate choice in versatility, with the option to operate shades from the top down, the bottom up, or in combination to meet all your privacy needs while still giving you access to natural light.

TWO-ON-ONE HEADRAIL
Two shadings share the same headrail; each shade operates independently.

Uniquely shaped windows pose challenges in providing privacy and light control and keeping your space energy efficient. Hunter Douglas has taken on these challenges by offering the following options: perfect and imperfect arch, perfect and imperfect extended arch, circle, angle, octagon, oval, hexagon, trapezpoid, perfect and imperfect quarter circle. Vanes remain in fully opened position and are non-operable. Inside mounts only.

MOTORIZATION
Versatile range of motors and controls to maximize shading benefits.

TILT-ONLY
For narrow windows. Shades cannot be raised or lowered, but vanes may be positioned from fully open to fully closed.

ADDITIONAL OPTIONS
Inside mount, outside mound, end mount (max width = 84″), dust covers, optional cord drop lengths – color-coordinated sizes: 2′, 3′, 4′, and 5′ for standard and oversized rails. White available in a 1′ length, and 12′ increments from 6-16′ lengths.
