Sheer Shades

The Silhouette Series features S-shaped fabric vanes suspended between sheers, offering you privacy, UV protection, and light diffusion in one package. Sheer shades use Silhouette Halo Window Shading, a proprietary system of rotating double fabric vanes that redirect sunlight at the tap of a screen. Hunter Douglas motorized shades are available with two-, three-, and four-inch vanes, and they can be customized to fit arched, angled, and trapezoid windows.

Roller Shades

If you are looking for a more modern look, Hunter Douglas also offers a line of designer roller shades for clean, minimal designs. With a collection of over 350 globally sourced fabrics, including sheer to opaque options, prints, patterns, and more, there is bound to be a set of roller shades with your home’s name on it!

Cellular Shades

Motorized shades play important roles in both lighting design and climate control, so it is not surprising that Hunter Douglas has a product line focused on energy efficiency. Duette Cellular shades rely on a honeycomb design to insulate your home while still letting light in, absorbing sound, and looking great in a wide selection of designer fabrics. For spaces like home theatres, where lighting control is key, cellular shades use a LightLock blackout system to minimize exterior light.

Roman Shades

If you are looking for a combination of elegance, tradition, and luxurious contemporary fabrics, Vignette Roman shades may be the perfect fit for your smart home. Tailored in either six-inch flat or four-inch full folds, these shades are energy efficient and come in a wide range of finishes and opacities to seamlessly become part of your existing decor.

Smart Automation

Whichever type of shade works for you, all Hunter Douglas window treatments can be operated using a PowerView controller, which easily integrates with other technology systems. Among the PowerView features, you will find the option of synchronizing shades in a room or across the entire house to roll up and down in unison and on demand.

If you are ready for a cooler or warmer smart home, simpleHome and Hunter Douglas have everything you need. Best of all, we are just a screen tap away!
