Quiet Please
Quick Installation
Hunter Douglas believes that window fashions should be seen and not heard. That’s
why we build our products with quiet motor technology. Sleep peacefully knowing the
only thing that will wake you is the sound of your alarm.
Wireless control systems are perfect for any home — no complicated wiring
is necessary. A Hunter Douglas professional installer can install your window
coverings, set up your wireless control system and review wireless operation
with you.
Control Options
All Platinum™ Technology
systems may be controlled by a
Platinum remote or a Platinum
wireless wall switch. Choose
a remote for the convenience
of hand-held control. Install a
wireless wall switch for room
control from a single location.
Or order both options for
ultimate control.

Manage the natural light in a room with the simple touch of a button.
Multiple Room Control
Motorized window fashions offer a level of convenience that manual
shades do not. With the push of a button, darken your media room for
a video game or to watch your favorite movie. Simultaneously lower
groups of shades or tilt blinds to protect your home furnishings from
harsh ultraviolet rays. Reach for the Platinum™ remote on your night
stand to lower bedroom shades or tilt blinds for an afternoon nap.
All accomplished quickly and conveniently with a Platinum remote
or wireless wall switch.

DUETTE ® AND APPLAUSE ® HONEYCOMB SHADES

PIROUETTE ® WINDOW SHADINGS
Duette® honeycomb shades adapt to an extensive range of interior design and architectural
styles to enhance the look of any room. Duette shades are available in a diverse and colorful
selection of fashionable fabrics, including woven and textured styles. Four opacities and three
pleat sizes provide the ultimate shade customization.
Pirouette® window shadings control light in a beautiful, new way. When operated,
textured fabrics transform from cascading folds to contoured vanes, allowing a softened
view through the sheer backing while also blocking up to 86% of ultraviolet rays with
the vanes open and 99% when closed.
The latest innovation from Hunter Douglas is Architella® honeycomb shades with exclusive
honeycomb-within-a-honeycomb construction. Offering superior energy efficiency, consistently
crisp pleats and a radiant color palette, Architella shades are the next generation of
honeycomb shades.
Adding PowerRise® 2.0 to Pirouette shadings reduces side edge gaps to provide even
more light control.
PowerRise® 2.0 is also available on Applause® honeycomb shades for a more casual look
and streamlined selection.
Pirouette shadings are offered in three beautiful fabric styles — Crepe, Linen and
Satin — in semi-opaque and room-darkening opacities. Two vane sizes are offered:
4" Petite and 5" Grande.

SILHOUETTE ® AND NANTUCKET ™ WINDOW SHADINGS
Silhouette® window shadings transform bright daylight into a soft warm glow and protect your
home’s interior from damaging ultraviolet rays. The soft fabric vanes suspended between two
elegant sheers diffuse harsh light and provide up to 88% ultraviolet protection when tilted open
and 99% when fully closed. Three vane sizes and a wide range of color/fabric combinations
are available.
In addition to Silhouette window shadings, Nantucket window shadings feature a more
streamlined fabric/color collection in a single vane size. Whatever your selection, both
Silhouette and Nantucket window shadings add beauty and style to any home.

VIGNETTE ® MODERN ROMAN SHADES
The new standard in Roman shades, Vignette® Modern Roman Shades have innovative
design qualities all their own. There are no exposed cords on the back side of any Vignette
shade for enhanced child safety, and a clean, uncluttered appearance from both inside
and outside the home.
Vignette Traditional™ and Tailored™ shades roll up inside the fabric-covered headrail;
contoured folds are dressed with every operation.
Vignette shades are available in semi-sheer, translucent and room-darkening opacities
in Traditional 3" and 4" contoured folds and Tailored 6" flat folds.
