With my studio having very high ceilings and windows to match, the shades I had up before were hard to manage and only served two basic functions, light or no light. Hunter Douglas Silhouette® Shadings with PowerView® Automation not only allow me to create varying levels of natural light, but also allow me to manage the windows up high with just the push of a button on the Pebble® remote. For me, the greatest thing about the shades is how they can create the perfect bright, diffused light that houseplants truly thrive under. Before I had Hunter Douglas shades, pools of direct sun would flood the south facing windows in my studio space, which can be harmful to some of my tropical plants.
Having the ability to open the vanes of the shades turns that direct sun into diffused light, while still providing me with a view of the outside world.

Before measuring, consider whether you want an inside or outside mounted window treatment. If inside, you’ll need to make sure your window is square by measuring horizontally at the top, center and bottom, vertically along both sides and center, and diagonally. Also measure the frame depth and take into account any window hardware that might obstruct the window treatment.
