“Silhouette Would Be Absolutely Perfect If Only__________.”

Have You ever said it?  How did you fill in that blank?  "...it came in wider widths?" - "...I could choose from more colors in oversize headrail?" - "...motorization was available for 3 inch vane shadings?" - "...it were possible to do unequal panel sizes for two-on-one headrail shadings?"  How ever you may have ended it,  chances are, your wish has been granted!  Take a look at all of these great new options —all available now.

NEW! PowerRise and other motorization options for ALL Silhouette shadings with three-inch vanes

BIGGER
Maximum Width Increased
to 108 Inches

There have always been many reasons to choose Silhouette® window shadings.  Whatever your customers want from a window covering can be accomplished with Silhouette.  Now, for the first time, Silhouette shadings can be made to cover windows that are fully nine feet wide.  So now, even with extremely wide windows, there just isn't any reason to settle for anything less than Silhouette window shadings. 

Still Want To Take It Wider?

So nine feet still isn't enough? Use the two-on-one headrail option to go even wider —all the way out to twelve feet (144").  Introduced last year, the two-on-one headrail has two independently operated panels on a single headrail unit separated by just a quarter of an inch. 

Now, even the two-on-one headrail option has been improved by allowing uneven panel widths for the first time.  This allows the split between panels to be aligned with mullions, frames or other architectural features.


BOLDER
More Options For Silhouette Shadings With Three-Inch Vanes

Silhouette shadings with three-inch vanes are increasing in popularity everyday.  The three-inch vane size provides a look similar to that of plantation shutters —only softer.  The wider spacing between vanes also provides a spacious view of the outdoors.  Since last year, every fabric style in the Silhouette collection has is available in the three-inch vane and a few are available exclusively in the three-inch vane.

Until now, however, not all of the options available on other Silhouette shadings have been available for shadings made with the three-inch vane.  Now ALL of the wider vane products have been fully integrated into the Silhouette line and ALL of these options are now available:

• Angles

• Arches

• PowerRise™ and other Motorization options

• Two-on-one headrail

• Tilt-only Sidelights

 (6" - 11-7/8" wide)


BETTER!

New Colors For Oversized Headrail!

Oversized headrails allow longer maximum heights than standard headrail and are required above certain heights, depending on the fabric style (See the Hunter Douglas Reference & Price Guide for complete details).  Until now oversized headrails have only been available in three colors.

Now, nine new colors have been added for a total of 13 colors that can be chosen to coordinate more closely with any fabric selection.
