- How do Pirouette shadings differ from Silhouette shadings?
- Pirouette uses wider 5-inch vanes with a distinct fold, so it looks more sculptural. Silhouette has narrower, flatter sheer vanes and a softer, more sheer look.
- Can Pirouette shadings darken a bedroom?
- Yes, with the room-darkening fabric and the vanes closed. The semi-opaque fabric filters light instead and is better for living areas.
- Do they block UV?
- Up to 81% with the vanes open and up to 99% closed, which helps protect furniture and floors from fading.
- Are they motorized?
- Standard shades use the EasyRise cord loop. Motorization is an optional upgrade, so check the specific unit before buying.
- How much window height does the raised shade take?
- The folded fabric stacks at the top, so plan for a visible bundle above the glass. On short windows this can cover a noticeable strip.
- What is included with a shade?
- A custom shade comes with its mounting hardware and the EasyRise control. Motorized versions add a motor and remote, sold separately.
- Where is the Pirouette Window Shadings cheapest?
- At eBay, for $180.00, as of our latest check.
