Silhouette window shadings combine the light
control of a blind, the function of a shade, and the softness of a
curtain in one proprietary design. The soft, adjustable fabric vanes are
suspended between two sheer fabric facings going beyond traditional
shades with an infinite range of light filtration. Completely open, the
view of the outside world is subdued. Partially to completely closed,
there's a softly diffused glow with opalescent translucency. When
raised, the entire shading disappears into a sleek headrail.

Ordering Notes

BASIC
ORDERING
INFORMATION
In
addition to the width and height measurements, the
basic information needed to order Silhouette®
window shadings includes quantity, color number,
mounting style and cord placement for rectangular
shadings.
OPTIONS
There are also several options available for
rectangular shadings which can customize the
installation to meet individual customer needs and
desires. Spacer blocks or extension brackets, for
example, allow a rectangular window shading to clear
obstructions to its movement.
Hold-Down
Brackets
Hold-down brackets (Fig. 6) are used to secure the
bottom of the window shading to prevent it from
swaying. When the hold-down brackets are connected
to the bottom rail, the vanes may be opened and
closed, but the shading may not be raised.
|
Dust Cover
| The
optional dust cover shields the fabric and
internal headrail components from dirt, dust
and other contaminants. With inside mounts,
the dust cover is needed only if the depth
of the window opening is less than 1
7/8", or if the headrail extends out
more than 15/16" from the window
opening (Fig. 7). |
Back Cover
| The
optional back cover is used with inside
mounts when the customer wants to conceal
the open rear side of the headrail for a
more pleasing exterior look. The back cover
and its brackets add 1/4" to minimum
inside mounting depths (Fig. 8). |
|
ADJACENT SHADINGS
To
span wide window openings, Silhouette window
shadings may be installed adjacently, so that their
headrails abut. The gap between the fabric panels of
the adjacent shadings varies according to the
control placement, as shown in the table below.

ARCHES AND
ANGLES
Silhouette arches and angles are non-operable and
are available as inside mounts only. A minimum
2" casement depth is required for installation.
When ordering these special shapes, use the Arches
and Angles order form and include a cut-out template
for each shape.
TILT-ONLY
SHADINGS
Shadings with width dimensions between 6" and
11 7/8" must be tilt-only shadings. Hold-down
brackets will automatically be included with
shadings.
