Stylish Solution for Room Darkening Shades
Room darkening shades don’t have to be bulky and dark. In fact, with the new Silhouette® A Deux Window Shadings system, you can enjoy the sheer beauty of a Silhouette shade along with the room darkening features of a roller shade. Both window coverings share a single cassette, allowing you to enjoy filtered light in your room when you want it, and darkness when you need it. Stop by our showroom in Surprise, AZ, serving the Phoenix area, to see how these window coverings work, and take a look at the video below.
Silhouette Shades in the Front
On the room-facing side of the A Deux system is the beautiful Silhouette shade. The vanes of Silhouette® window shades magically float between two sheers. Simply tilt the vanes to achieve your desired level of light and privacy. With no cords or tapes, the sheer facings allow you to view through the vanes to the outside, while maintaining a discreet level of privacy. The sheers soften sunlight to create warmth without too much brightness. Choose from 2” and 3” vane Silhouette fabrics, including Alustra products, to be paired with a room-darkening roller shade option. Silhouette shades are available in a wide variety of colors and fabrics.
Roller Shades in the Back
With the A Deux system, a high quality Hunter Douglas roller shade shares a headrail cassette with a Silhouette shade. With the roller shade in the back, you can enjoy complete room darkening when you want it — perfect for media rooms and bedrooms. Roller shades also protect your furniture, flooring and artwork from fading with at least 75% protection from harmful UV rays.
Operating Your Room Darkening Shade System
With the A Deux system, you have several options for operating your shades. Use the same operating system front and back, or mix and match with one operating system on the roller shade and one operating system on the Silhouette. Choose from:
- EasyRise: Pulling down on the front of our EasyRise™ continuous loop lowers your window fashion. Pulling on the rear of the loop raises it.
- LiteRise: Our LiteRise® cordless system lets you simply push up with your hand to raise and pull down to lower. Your blinds and shades stay right where you put them.
- PowerRise: Our PowerRise® motorized lifting system allows you to easily raise or lower individual window shades and shadings.
