Our 30+ years in window coverings shape every recommendation. Schedule a visit through our contact page.

Hunter Douglas Window Treatments We Provide and Install
Silhouette Window Shadings
Soft fabric vanes float between two sheer facings, tilting to diffuse daylight into a gentle glow. When raised, the shading disappears into a slim headrail, making it a refined choice for living rooms, primary suites, and windows framing a favorite view.
Duette Honeycomb Shades
The original honeycomb design traps still air inside its hollow cells to help insulate windows through cold northern winters. Multiple pleat sizes, opacities, and lift systems are available, including top-down/bottom-up operation that opens the view while preserving privacy below.
Pirouette Window Shadings
Horizontal fabric vanes attached to a single sheer backing rotate open like soft, rounded blinds. Pirouette delivers the light control of slats with the warmth of fabric, and it looks especially elegant on large windows in contemporary and transitional interiors.
Luminette Privacy Sheers
Vertical fabric vanes combine with a sheer face, rotating for privacy and traversing sideways to clear the opening. This design suits sliding glass doors and wide window walls, offering far softer character than traditional vertical blinds while working just as smoothly.
Vignette Modern Roman Shades
Continuous folds of fabric roll neatly into a headrail instead of stacking like conventional Roman shades. Vignette brings tailored softness to bedrooms and dining rooms, with room-darkening options available for spaces where early sunrise or evening streetlights cause disruption.
Sonnette Cellular Roller Shades
A curved, single-cell profile gives Sonnette the clean simplicity of a roller shade with added insulating value. The smooth fabric arc looks sculptural in modern rooms, and the shade rolls compactly out of sight when fully raised during daytime hours.

FAQs - Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between Silhouette and Pirouette shadings?
Silhouette suspends fabric vanes between two sheer layers, creating a softly diffused look even when open. Pirouette attaches vanes to a single sheer backing, so they open wider for a clearer view, resembling rounded fabric blinds more than a layered sheer.
Which Hunter Douglas product works best on a sliding patio door?
Luminette privacy sheers are a popular choice because the vanes traverse sideways, clearing the doorway for foot traffic. They rotate for privacy just like vertical blinds, yet the soft fabric and sheer face look far warmer and more contemporary.
How is Duette different from other cellular shades?
Duette is the original honeycomb shade line from Hunter Douglas, offering a wide range of pleat sizes, fabrics, and specialty shapes. It also pairs with lift systems like top-down/bottom-up and PowerView, giving it more flexibility than many basic cellular shades.
What is a Sonnette shade?
Sonnette is a cellular roller shade with a single curved cell that rolls up like a standard roller. It combines the minimal look of a roller shade with some of the insulating benefits of honeycomb construction, making it ideal for modern interiors.
Where do Vignette Roman shades work best?
Vignette suits bedrooms, dining rooms, and living spaces where you want the tailored softness of a Roman shade without bulky stacked folds. Because the fabric rolls into the headrail, it also works well on windows with limited space above the frame.
Which Hunter Douglas lines offer the most darkness for sleeping?
Room-darkening versions of Duette, Vignette, and Sonnette block the most light among these lines. M22 Blinds & Window Treatments helps Traverse City, MI clients choose room-darkening fabrics and mounting styles that limit edge gaps, since fit strongly affects how dark a bedroom gets.
How do I handle a warranty issue with a Hunter Douglas product?
Contact the dealer who sold and installed the product, since dealers typically coordinate manufacturer warranty service. M22 Blinds & Window Treatments assists Traverse City, MI clients by inspecting the problem, documenting details, and managing communication with Hunter Douglas until it is resolved.
Why choose Hunter Douglas over a generic custom shade?
Hunter Douglas offers proprietary designs like Silhouette and Luminette that generic brands do not make, along with integrated PowerView automation. The products are also backed by strong manufacturer warranties, which gives long-term confidence for treatments you plan to keep for years.
