Comparing Sheer Shades and Cellular Shades
At Delux Drapery & Shade Co., we understand how important it is to find window treatments that fit your home, décor, and personal tastes while still being functional and catering to the needs of your lifestyle. Two popular choices in window fashion that many people like are sheer shades and cellular shades. Hunter Douglas offers Silhouette® Sheer Shades and Duette® Cellular Shades, both incredible options for any home, but each has distinct use cases and advantages. We’re here to explore the differences between the two and help you determine which is best suited for you.
Silhouette® Sheer Shades: Dancing With Light
Picture this: S-shaped fabric vanes gracefully floating between sheer layers, creating an enchanting play of light in your room. The Silhouette® Sheer Shades allow for the perfect balance of natural light and daytime privacy. The one-of-a-kind design of their sheer fabrics provides a soft radiance that gracefully transforms your space with gorgeous, diffused light.
You can tilt the fabric vanes to control light and maintain your privacy during the day or let in more light whenever you need. Equip your shades with Silhouette Halo™ Window Shadings for even finer control over light seamlessly from sunrise to sunset. These treatments will even keep your furniture and flooring from fading with their built-in UV protection.
Whether creating a warm, inviting atmosphere or adding a touch of elegance to your living space, Silhouette® Sheer Shades deliver a unique blend of style and functionality.
Duette® Cellular Shades: Embracing Comfort and Style
These shades provide you with year-round comfort due to their combination of insulation and beauty. Hunter Douglas Duette® Cellular Shades are designed with an innovative construction that provides additional insulation to help you control the temperature in your home. In addition to their performance, these shades also feature sumptuous, high-quality fabrics that look beautiful in any space. You can enjoy the perfect ambiance with the diffusion of natural light through any of the wide selection of fabrics.
But that’s not it; you can even experience a quieter room as Duette® Cellular Shades absorb sound for added tranquility. These shades not only elevate the beauty of your space but also contribute to a more comfortable and energy-efficient living environment, making them the perfect combination of form and function.
Choosing The Perfect Fit
When deciding between Silhouette® Sheer Shades or Duette® Cellular Shades, consider your unique preferences and needs. If you are looking to transform and filter light, Silhouette® Sheer Shades might be your perfect match. If, instead, you are seeking year-round comfort, energy efficiency, and a touch of elegance, Duette® Cellular Shades are the way to go.
At Delux Drapery & Shade Co., we take pride in offering these exceptional Hunter Douglas window treatments to our valued customers in Ann Arbor, Ypsilanti, Saline, Chelsea, Dexter, Manchester, Howell, Brighton, and throughout Washtenaw County, MI.
