Luminette® Privacy Sheers bring the soft elegance of Silhouette® to sliding doors and large windows. Vertical fabric vanes rotate within a sheer fabric panel, giving you precise light and privacy control without the utilitarian look of traditional vertical blinds. For Ottawa homeowners who want sophistication at their patio doors, Luminette® delivers.
Luminette® applies Hunter Douglas's signature shading technology to vertical applications. Soft fabric vanes—available in 2" or 3¾" widths—rotate within translucent sheer fabric. When vanes are open, light filters through the sheer while maintaining outward view. When closed, the fabric vanes overlap for privacy and enhanced light control.
The result is far more elegant than traditional vertical blinds. Instead of hard plastic or aluminum slats, you have soft fabric that drapes and moves gracefully. The translucent backing diffuses light beautifully, eliminating harsh sun while maintaining your connection to the outdoors. It's the difference between basic function and refined style.
Sliding patio doors deserve better than builder-grade vertical blinds. Luminette® provides the same sideways traverse operation while completely transforming the aesthetic. The soft fabric drapes beautifully, the sheer backing creates a luminous glow, and the overall effect is closer to custom drapery than window blinds.
Operation is smooth and intuitive. Draw the panels to one side for full door access—they stack compactly out of the way. Or use split-draw to open from the center. Rotate the vanes to fine-tune privacy and light. Everything feels substantial and refined, matching the quality of your patio door itself.
Luminette® gives you multiple light control options. Vanes open, the translucent sheer filters direct sun while preserving your view—bright without glare. Vanes closed, fabric overlaps for privacy and significant light reduction. Vanes angled, you can direct light up or down while partially obscuring views.
The fabric choice affects light control too. Sheer fabric options maintain maximum view-through; semi-opaque fabrics provide more privacy with vanes open. Room-darkening options with opaque vanes create near-blackout when closed—appropriate for bedrooms with sliding door access to balconies or patios.
If you're replacing old vertical blinds or choosing window treatments for new sliding doors, consider how Luminette® compares. Traditional verticals use rigid vanes—plastic, vinyl, fabric-wrapped, or aluminum—that rotate and traverse. Luminette® uses soft fabric vanes within a sheer panel for an entirely different aesthetic.
The functional difference is primarily appearance and light quality. Luminette® creates softer, more diffused light thanks to the sheer backing. The fabric vanes move more gracefully. The overall effect is elegant rather than utilitarian. If vertical blinds feel too commercial or dated, Luminette® provides a welcome upgrade.
