What they are

Light and privacy for Ypsilanti parlors and lofts

A window shading holds soft fabric vanes between two sheer layers. Tilt the vanes open and light comes through with a gentle glow while you can still see outside; tilt them closed for privacy; raise the shading and it rolls up neatly into the headrail.

That balance suits Ypsilanti well. Many older homes sit close to the sidewalk, with tall front windows that look straight onto the porch and the street. Shadings let you leave the vanes partly open so the room stays bright while passers-by see only a soft blur. In lofts and condos downtown and in Depot Town, shadings soften big street-facing windows and the afternoon sun without blocking the view of the street below. And on tall Victorian windows, the soft fabric look feels more at home than hard slats.

As a Hunter Douglas authorized dealer, we carry Silhouette® window shadings in a range of fabrics, colors and vane sizes, with PowerView® motorization available for tall or hard-to-reach windows.

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.

  • Manual or PowerView® motorized
  • Rolls up compactly

Window shading questions

Common questions from Ypsilanti homeowners about window shadings.

Are shadings a good choice for the front windows of my Ypsilanti home near the sidewalk?
Yes. Shadings let you keep the vanes partly open for daylight and a view while softening what people on the sidewalk or porch can see.
Can Silhouette® shadings fit tall, narrow Victorian windows?
Yes. Silhouette® shadings are made to custom sizes, and PowerView® motorization helps on the tallest windows. We measure each opening, since older windows often vary slightly.
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.
