What they are
Softer light for Sterling Heights living rooms
A window shading suspends soft fabric vanes between two sheer layers. Open the vanes and daylight comes through with a soft glow while you can still see outside; close them for privacy; raise the shading and it rolls up out of sight at the top of the window.
That works well for the big front picture windows found on so many Sterling Heights ranches and colonials. The living room stays bright and you can still see the street, but people passing by see much less of the room. Shadings also take the harshness out of afternoon sun on a west-facing window and look soft and finished from inside and out.
As a Hunter Douglas authorized dealer, we carry Silhouette® window shadings in a range of fabrics, colors and vane sizes, with PowerView® motorization available. Very wide picture windows can be covered with more than one shading so each section is easy to run, and we install everything with our own team.

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 Sterling Heights homeowners about window shadings.
Are window shadings a good choice for the front picture window in my Sterling Heights home?
Yes. With the vanes partly open, shadings keep the room bright and give you a view out while softening what people outside can see. We bring samples so you can try them at the window.
Can Silhouette® shadings be motorized?
Yes. Silhouette® shadings can be motorized with PowerView® and run from a remote, an app or a schedule. 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 shadings give privacy at night?
With the vanes closed, shadings give privacy. Ask about room-darkening versions for bedrooms.
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.
