What they are
Light and privacy for Livonia front rooms
A window shading suspends soft fabric vanes between two sheer layers. Tilt the vanes open and daylight comes in with a soft glow while you can still see outside; tilt them closed for privacy; raise the shading and it rolls up out of sight.
That combination fits the front room of a lot of Livonia homes. The big picture window faces the street, and on many blocks the house sits only a short walk from the sidewalk. With shadings, you can keep the vanes partly open all day for light and a view of the yard while making it harder for passers-by to see in. On the back of the house, shadings soften the strong light that pours through a wide family room window.
As a Hunter Douglas authorized dealer, we carry Silhouette® window shadings in a range of fabrics, colors and vane sizes, with PowerView® motorization for windows that are hard to reach.

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.

Window shading questions
Common questions from Livonia homeowners about window shadings.
Are window shadings a good fit for the picture window in a Livonia ranch?
Yes. Shadings are made in widths that suit many picture windows, and they let you balance daylight and privacy on a street-facing room. We’ll measure to see whether one shading or a pair fits best.
Can I motorize shadings in my Livonia home?
Yes. Silhouette® shadings can be motorized with PowerView® and run from a remote, an app or a schedule, which is handy for windows behind furniture or over a stairway.
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.
