Nantucket™ Window Shadings bring the soft elegance of Hunter Douglas sheer shadings to more budget-conscious homeowners. Featuring wide 3" fabric vanes between sheer fabric, Nantucket™ delivers the light control and beauty of Silhouette® at a more accessible price point—making sheer shading style available to more Ottawa homes.
Nantucket™ shares the fundamental design of Silhouette®—soft fabric vanes suspended between two layers of sheer fabric. When vanes are open, light filters through the sheer while you maintain view. When closed, the overlapping vanes provide privacy. It's the signature Hunter Douglas sheer shading experience.
The difference is in the details. Nantucket™ offers a curated selection of fabrics and colors rather than Silhouette®'s extensive palette. The 3" vane size (Silhouette® offers 2", 3", and 4") provides a classic look. These simplifications reduce cost while preserving the core sheer shading experience.
Nantucket™ offers the same three-position light control as other sheer shadings. Raised completely, your window is unobstructed—full view and full light. Lowered with vanes open, the sheer diffuses harsh sunlight while fabric vanes add soft texture. Lowered with vanes closed, you have privacy and significant light reduction.
The sheer fabric performs double duty—it softens incoming light while blocking harmful UV rays that fade furniture and flooring. Even with vanes open, Nantucket™ provides UV protection while maintaining your connection to the outdoors. It's practical function wrapped in beautiful design.
The question many homeowners ask: why choose Nantucket™ over Silhouette®? Both offer fabric vanes between sheer layers—the fundamental sheer shading experience is identical. The differences are in options and customization.
Silhouette® offers more vane sizes (2", 3", 4"), more fabric options, more colors, and features like ClearView® ultra-sheer backing. Nantucket™ simplifies the choices with a focused 3" vane and curated fabrics. If Silhouette®'s extensive options aren't needed, Nantucket™ delivers the same beauty at lower cost.
Nantucket™ works beautifully throughout the home. Living rooms benefit from the soft light filtering and glare reduction. Dining rooms gain elegant diffused illumination. Bedrooms with room-darkening options enjoy privacy and light control. Any room where you'd consider Silhouette® can work with Nantucket™.
Consider Nantucket™ when outfitting multiple rooms or an entire home. The accessible pricing makes whole-home sheer shading practical. Use Nantucket™ throughout for consistency, or combine with Silhouette® in focal-point rooms where you want expanded options.
