Serving Lake Park, Riviera Beach, Palm Beach Island, Admiral's Cove & Frenchman's Creek
North Palm Beach is defined by its connection to the water — the Intracoastal, the Atlantic, the lush tropical landscaping that frames every view. The last thing you want is a window treatment that blocks all of that out. But you also can't ignore the glare, the heat, and the privacy challenges that come with living in one of Florida's most sun-drenched communities. Hunter Douglas Silhouette® Sheer Shades were designed precisely for this kind of living — offering soft, beautiful light control that lets you enjoy your views and your surroundings without compromise.
Soft Light, Stunning Views & Daytime Privacy
What makes Silhouette® shades genuinely different from any other window treatment is their patented S-shaped vane construction. Soft fabric vanes are suspended between two sheer panels, allowing them to float and tilt like horizontal blinds — but with a completely different visual effect. When the vanes are open, you get a clear, unobstructed view of your yard, waterway, or garden while soft, diffused light fills the room. Tilt the vanes closed, and you gain meaningful daytime privacy without darkening your space or losing that warm, airy feeling.
For North Palm Beach homeowners — particularly those in waterfront properties in Admiral's Cove or along Palm Beach Island — this is a meaningful advantage. You invested in those views. Silhouette® shades let you actually keep them.
UV Protection That Preserves Your Interiors
Florida's sun doesn't just create glare — it does real damage to everything inside your home. Hardwood floors, upholstered furniture, artwork, and area rugs are all vulnerable to the kind of prolonged UV exposure that's a daily reality in North Palm Beach. Silhouette® shades block up to 88% of harmful UV rays even with the vanes open, and up to 99% when fully closed. That level of protection makes a measurable difference over time, preserving the color and integrity of your furnishings without requiring you to keep your shades drawn all day.
Paired with the naturally bright, open interiors common in South Florida homes, this UV protection means you can enjoy natural light the way it's meant to be enjoyed — without paying the price in faded floors and sun-damaged furniture.
Energy Efficiency & Climate Comfort
Despite their light, gossamer appearance, Silhouette® shades provide genuine insulating benefits that help manage heat gain through your windows — one of the primary drivers of high cooling costs in North Palm Beach homes. By softening and diffusing solar energy before it fully enters your living space, these shades reduce the thermal load on your air conditioning system during peak summer months. The result is a more comfortable home and lower utility bills, without sacrificing any of the natural light that makes South Florida living so appealing.
For homes with large glass surfaces, sliding doors, or floor-to-ceiling windows — a hallmark of the luxury properties throughout Frenchman's Creek and Admiral's Cove — this energy management adds up to real, year-round savings.
Designer Style for Every North Palm Beach Interior
Silhouette® shades bring a level of visual refinement that's hard to achieve with any other window covering. The floating vane design creates soft shadow lines and gentle texture that adds depth and elegance to a room — without overwhelming it. They work beautifully across the range of interior styles found throughout North Palm Beach, from the crisp coastal contemporary homes of Riviera Beach to the more formal traditional interiors of Palm Beach Island and the relaxed tropical aesthetic of Lake Park.
Available in a curated selection of designer colors, fabric textures, and vane sizes, Silhouette® shades can be tailored to complement virtually any palette or décor direction. Whether you're working with a designer on a full renovation or simply refreshing a single room, these shades offer the kind of elevated, finished look that ties a space together.
Cordless, Motorized & Smart Home Ready
Silhouette® shades are available with a range of operating systems designed for clean, modern living. Cordless options like SoftTouch® and UltraGlide® eliminate dangling hardware entirely, giving windows a sleek, uncluttered appearance. For the full smart home experience, PowerView® Automation brings hands-free convenience to every window in your home:
- Control shades from your smartphone or tablet, whether you're home or away
- Schedule automatic adjustments throughout the day to manage light and heat at peak hours
- Sync with Amazon Alexa, Google Home, or Apple HomeKit for voice control
- Program whole-home scenes that adjust multiple shades simultaneously
In larger North Palm Beach homes with high ceilings, oversized windows, or hard-to-reach transoms, motorized operation moves from a luxury to a genuine practical upgrade. Every shade is also fully cord-free, meeting the highest child and pet safety standards.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I still see my view with Silhouette® shades closed?
When the vanes are tilted open, Silhouette® shades offer a clear, essentially unobstructed view while still softening the light entering the room. When the vanes are tilted closed, the view is obscured but the room remains bright and comfortable — you're not left in the dark the way you would be with a blackout shade.
How do Silhouette® shades hold up in Florida's humidity and coastal environment?
Silhouette® shades are made with fabrics engineered to hold their shape and appearance in humid coastal climates. The sheer panels and vanes resist moisture-related sagging or distortion, making them a reliable long-term choice for homes throughout the North Palm Beach area.
Are Silhouette® shades a good option for large or specialty-shaped windows?
Yes. Every Silhouette® shade is custom-made to your exact measurements, and they can be configured for a wide range of window shapes and sizes — including the large impact glass windows and oversized openings common in newer South Florida construction.
