“

Working with Custom Shades of London was a very easy experience. Vanessa Vitta
was professional and knowledgeable as to what I required, and answered all my questions.
She was great. Ben, the installer, also very professional, and did the installation on time
and also did a great job. I would highly recommend them both, as well as Custom Shades
of London.

We are super happy with our experience at Custom Shades. Vanessa, particularly, was excellent to work with. We really appreciated their willingness to bring product samples to our house, so we could be confident about our purchase. It's a big investment to redo blinds on an entire floor.

I have Hunter Douglas power honey comb blinds that I bought10 years ago. The store went out of business. When the clip and battery holder broke Custom Shades were so helpful. They gave me the clip and the batery holder to replace the old ones. Ben was super helpful as was Patty. Customer service was absolutely amazing. Strongly recommend the for shades and shutters

The best customer service in London!

The store is beautifully laid out, clean and organized. Patty and Sydney went completely out of their way to help me with a couple of used blinds I had.

The merchandise is first class! If you want to be tested with kindness, respect and interest, this is your store!

Discover the Elegance of Silhouette Sheer Shades

Silhouette sheer shades are renowned for their ability to beautifully diffuse light while maintaining a sense of privacy. These window treatments offer a sophisticated way to enhance the ambiance of any room, providing a soft, radiant glow that complements your home’s decor.

Beyond their aesthetic appeal, silhouette sheer shades provide essential UV protection for your furnishings and flooring, helping to prevent fading and damage from the sun’s harsh rays. Experience the perfect blend of style, function, and light control.

Exploring the Versatility of Silhouette Sheer Shades

The design of silhouette sheer shades allows for a unique combination of light control and privacy. The soft fabric vanes, suspended between two layers of sheer fabric, can be tilted to precisely manage the amount of light entering your room. This makes them an excellent choice for spaces where you want to enjoy natural light without harsh glare. To see how they compare, explore Pirouette® Window Shadings and our other sheer shades.

Beyond their aesthetic and functional benefits, silhouette sheer shades contribute to a more comfortable home environment. They offer excellent energy efficiency by helping to insulate your windows, reducing heat transfer in both summer and winter. This can lead to lower energy bills and a more consistent indoor temperature. Additionally, the inherent UV protection safeguards your furniture, flooring, and artwork from sun damage, preserving their color and integrity over time.

When considering window treatments, it’s helpful to understand the options available. If you’re curious about pricing, a free in-home consultation gets you an exact quote for your windows. For those interested in smart home integration, exploring PowerView® Automation can help you find the perfect automated solution. We also offer solutions for unique window shapes and other challenges.
