BEFORE AND AFTER: HARSH, UNRELENTING LIGHT VERSUS SOFT, AMBIENT LIGHT
Three vane sizes . . . for just the right sense of scale.
Three vane opacities . . . for just the right amount of privacy and light.
When the semi-sheer vanes of Lumiere® fabric
are closed, there is a glowing light entering the room and a soft, diffused
view to the outside.

The bold three-inch vane size provides wider vane spacing with a less obstructed view through the sheer facings. Its larger scale is ideal for bigger windows and rooms.
The exclusive Quartette™ four-inch vane size has the widest vane spacing for the best view-through, along with a striking appearance wherever it is installed.

Most Silhouette fabrics feature translucent vanes,
which offer excellent privacy when closed, yet provide a warm glow in
the window.
Bon Soir™ and the Matisse Collection® Bon
Soir feature light-dimming vanes, which provide extra privacy and tranquility —
perfect for bedrooms, nurseries or anywhere a little less light is desired.

Quartette with Specialty Shapes
Quartette with Standard Tilt-Only
Silhouette® Quartette™ with UltraGlide®
Quartette with Two-On-One Headrail
Quartette Four-Inch in All Fabric Styles
Now the vane-size scale of Quartette rectangular shadings can be matched when ordering any of the wide variety of Silhouette specialty shapes.
Both privacy and view-through are important for sidelights, and Quartette with Standard Tilt-Only boldly meets that dual challenge.
The bold beauty of the Quartette™ four-inch vane size and the UltraGlide® retractable cord system combine for ease of operation and enhanced safety.
Wide expanses, sliding doors — both are new opportunities for Quartette with Two-On-One Headrail featuring the EasyRise™ lifting system.
The Bouclé fabric provides an organic appeal and is ideal for modern or Asian décors.
All Silhouette® fabrics (except Trés Vue™) are now available with four-inch vanes, providing your customers with more choices for better view-through.
