Hunter Douglas, a leading manufacturer of custom window treatments, has announced its latest portfolio expansion for two of its most popular shade styles. The debut of Silhouette Halo Shadings, along with new fabric and hardware options for Luminette Privacy Sheers, deepens the customization and design opportunities available to custom integrators from Hunter Douglas – complemented by the PowerView Gen 3 Automation system.
The new multi-functional Silhouette Halo Shadings prioritize ambiance and privacy, combining the distinctive design of the flagship Silhouette style with practical enhancements, according to the company. Silhouette Halo Shadings retain the style’s innovative S-shaped fabric vanes, positioned between two sheers, to create a soft radiance throughout a room, Hunter Douglas says.
For more flexible movement and natural lighting control, Silhouette Halo is designed with dual-layered fabric vanes that can over-rotate to precisely redirect sunlight. This enhances UV protection for furnishings, eliminates harsh shadows and optimizes comfort and privacy, the company notes.
Designed to diffuse light into a soft glow, Luminette Privacy Sheers feature vertical panels with fully integrated vertical vanes to provide UV protection, comfort and privacy. The sheers merge the functional benefits of blinds with dynamic design, making them particularly suitable for sliding doors or large panes of glass, the company says.
The latest Luminette release offers improved hardware that enables shades to move while vanes are partially tilted and gives owners easier, more granular control over shade position.

3 New Hunter Douglas Fabric Options Enable Cohesive Aesthetic
Hunter Douglas has also introduced three new, luxurious fabric options compatible with both Luminette Privacy Sheers and Silhouette Window Shadings. Integrators can leverage these fabrics to coordinate a cohesive, elegant look between horizontal and vertical shades.
“Hunter Douglas has a rich history of innovating best-in-class shade designs, and now we’re excited to supplement that legacy by helping integrators deliver whole-home connectivity. When coupled with the newly redesigned PowerView system, integrators can confidently specify and scale smart shading solutions that meet the aesthetic, functional and lifestyle needs of any project they land,” says Scott Stephenson, senior director of product, Global Motorization at Hunter Douglas.
These updates join several major enhancements across the full Hunter Douglas smart shade portfolio, including the launch of PowerView Gen 3 Automation earlier this year. Gen 3 enables simple-to-install, reliable and scalable automation for over 20 shade styles. Hunter Douglas also expanded its library of control drivers, introduced new power options including an internal rechargeable battery, and released dozens of new fabrics across its collection.
