What they are
Shadings for bright Howell great rooms
A window shading suspends soft fabric vanes between two sheer layers. Open the vanes and daylight comes through soft and even, and you can still see outside; close them for privacy; raise the shading and it rolls up out of sight.
That makes shadings a good match for many homes around Howell, where great rooms and kitchens have big windows facing open yards, fields or a lake, with few trees to block the sun. Rather than choosing between glare and closed blinds, you can tilt the vanes partway and keep a bright, comfortable room with the view still visible through the sheer.
As a Hunter Douglas authorized dealer, we carry Silhouette® window shadings in a range of fabrics, colors and vane sizes. With PowerView® motorization, shadings on tall great room windows can open in the morning and close in the late afternoon on a schedule, without anyone reaching for a pole.

Where window shadings work best
Rooms where you want daylight and the view, with privacy on demand.
Living & great rooms
Soft, glowing light without losing the outdoor view.
Large windows
Shadings roll up compactly above big panes of glass.
Primary bedrooms
Tilt for privacy; ask about room-darkening versions.
Studies & offices
Diffused light that is easier on the eyes than direct sun.
Light control, privacy and protection
What window shadings do for a room.
Diffused daylight
Sheer layers soften harsh sun into an even glow.
Privacy with a view
Tilt the vanes partly closed for privacy while still seeing out.
UV protection
Fabric layers help protect furnishings from fading.
Motorized option
PowerView® lets you control shadings by remote, app or schedule.
Operating options & care
Manual or motorized, with gentle care
Window shadings can be operated manually, with a control that raises the shading and tilts the vanes, or motorized with Hunter Douglas PowerView®. Motorization is especially useful on tall or wide windows and lets you set schedules that open shadings in the morning and close them at night. We install and program motorized shadings for you.
Because shadings are made of delicate fabrics, care is gentle: dust lightly with a feather duster or a vacuum on low with a brush attachment, and follow the Hunter Douglas care instructions for spot cleaning.

Window shading questions
Common questions from Howell homeowners about window shadings.
Are window shadings a good choice for a sunny Howell great room?
Yes. Shadings diffuse strong sun into soft, even light while you still see outside through the sheer, which suits great rooms with big windows on open lots.
Can Silhouette® shadings be motorized on the tall windows in my Howell home?
Yes. Silhouette® shadings can be motorized with PowerView® and run from a remote, app or schedule. That’s ideal for two-story great rooms and foyers. We install and program them.
What is the difference between window shadings and blinds?
Both have vanes that tilt, but shadings use soft fabric vanes between two sheer layers, so light is diffused and the look is much softer. Shadings also roll up instead of stacking.
Do you carry Hunter Douglas Silhouette®?
Yes. The Blind Biz is a Hunter Douglas authorized dealer, and we bring Silhouette® samples to your home.
How do I clean window shadings?
Dust lightly with a feather duster or a vacuum on low with a brush attachment, and follow the manufacturer’s instructions for spot cleaning.
