How do silhouette shades work?

Silhouette shades operate on a continuous loop system that allows you to raise, lower, or adjust the vanes to control light and privacy. The sheer panels allow diffused natural light to enter the room while protecting your privacy.

Can silhouette shades block out sunlight completely?

While silhouette shades offer excellent light diffusion, they are not designed to block out sunlight completely. However, you can adjust the vanes to reduce glare and control the amount of light entering the room.

Are silhouette shades suitable for large windows?

Yes, silhouette shades are an ideal choice for large windows. They can be custom-made to fit windows of various sizes, including wide and tall windows. Their sleek design and versatile functionality make them suitable for both small and large window applications.

One of the best features of Silhouette window shades is that it welcomes sunlight into your home while still providing some privacy. Most of us enjoy sunlight but don’t necessarily want it beaming into the home. However, we don’t necessarily want to pull down the shades and completely block that sunlight either. We also want privacy without excluding sunlight.

Depending on your fabric selection, you can filter up to 88% of harmful UV rays from the sun. This is healthy not only for your family, but can also protect your home furnishings from fading and other sun damage.

Upgrade your windows with our premium silhouette roller shades. Designed for the exterior, these shades offer the perfect balance of style and functionality. Enjoy adjustable light control and enhanced privacy while adding a touch of professionalism to your home or office. Trust our expertise for flawless installation and long-lasting durability.

  These guys are absolutely terrific. Not only did Eli show up on time to make a sale, he was actually early to do the installation. C’mon who ever heard of contractors being on time on both ends? Great customer service and I got my blinds earlier than I expected …. and they are exactly what I wanted. You will make a huge mistake and waste your time using anyone else for you window coverings. NO NEED TO COMPARISON SHOP. Eli is the one!!!

  What can I say.  Eli is an amazing representative.  He recommended motorized roller shades and they look spectacular.  My wife who is probably the most hardest pleasing woman in the world raves about these blinds. I would recommend the motorized shades to everyone.  Simple easy to use.  Thank s Eli

  I purchased a wooden shade for my bedroom 2 1/2 weeks ago and am very pleased with it. The solid wood looks lovely next to my bookcases and contrasts well with my blue walls. The remote device for lifting and lowering the shade is convenient. Ely, my salesman and installer did a great job.  He came to my apartment with large selection to show me. The delivery installation were on time and perfect. I have only nice things to say about this experience.

  Empire window did an incredible job with all our window treatment! Eli from the team was incredibly helpful and patient as we had to go back and forth several times. He was creative in find solutions for an unconventional set of windows and limitations and we couldn’t be happier with the results! The prices are also unbeatable and I’m glad to say the the quality is superb. We have motorized shades in our bedroom that are so quiet, Venetian blinds for our office and beautiful linen drapes for our living room. Highly recommended!

  5 stars for Eli and Empire Window Treatment Center! Our Hunter Douglas Silhouette blinds were a disaster-a filthy mess( believe it or not we had them installed in 1997). During our apartment renovation our decorator insisted that we would have to throw them away and spend thousands of dollars on new blinds. I called Empire Window Treatment Center and Eli came over, looked at them and assurred us he could clean them and get them to look brand new. My wife and I, as well as our decorator were all a little skeptical, but sure enough, when Eli brought them back they were spotless and indeed looked brand new! As an added bonus, Eli is a really nice guy. Thanks Eli!!

  Fantastic find. The service and shades itself are high in quality.
The sales representative keeps his word, comes on time, delivers exactly what we needed, installs shades in no time.
Price for installment is included in total price.
A tiny con: When I was still shopping around and asked the company to wait for a while it was obvious, they got offended.

Overall it was good experience and satisfaction with the final result.

  Working with Eli was a positive experience.
He had really beautiful swatches, and helped me choose solar and blackout shades. All my windows are custom size. He was patient, polite and professional. The window treatments look great, and I am considering ordering some roman shades or curtains to complete the look.
