Silhouette Blinds
Silhouette blinds have been designed to combine the functionality of Venetian and Roller blinds with the privacy control of nets and curtains.
Thomas Sandersons multi layered shades are crafted from lightweight fabric louvres suspended between two sheets of delicate sheer fabric that allow you to alter the direction of the light and adjust the level of privacy without disrupting the view outside.
Silhouette blinds are available in a wide selection of sheer fabrics from soft pastels through to Thomas Sandersons new colours collection – perfect for adding a splash of colour to your home.

Technical Overview
Thomas Sanderson Silhouette blinds are a fabric window covering so revolutionary that it controls light without sacrificing privacy – tilt, raise or lower your blind using the remote control. Simply, it’s a roller blind and venetian blind all in one! By rotating the vanes, enjoy the softness of sheer fabric but with the control of light intensities. This stunning blind provides colour and texture, as well as total light control and privacy.
Hardware
Head rail and bottom rail are extruded aluminium, then powder-coated, available in 11 colours that co-ordinate with the chosen fabric.
Design options
Only the highest quality fabrics are used to create Silhouette Blinds. The fabric consists of 3 opacities of fine woven pure polyester fused together to create soft horizontal opaque vanes suspended between two grades of sheer panels, front and back. Fabrics are available in 25 colours, four styles of weave with a choice of vane size of 50mm or 75mm
Motorised lift and turn
The ultra quiet 12v rotary motor lifts/extends the blind and tilts the vanes. The motor is powered by 8x AA batteries, easily accessible for convenience. The batteries offer over 1 year’s use (tilt open and closed twice a day) before a battery change is required. There is an option to have the blinds plugged to a mains transformer.
Battery remote control
Operation is via Infra-red, controlled by a simple two channel handset. Multiple blinds can be controlled from one handset if desired. For further convenience, a small switch is located at one end of the headrail giving additional control.
Intermediate stop
An intermediate stop position allows the user to set the blind to a desired height anywhere between open and closed. After programming the ‘intermediate position’ the blind will remember this and always stop at this programmed position. The blind can still be fully extended or retracted from this position.
Loop cord option
Manual operation is available and offered only where sizes are either outside the operational capacity of the motor, or too small in width to accommodate a motor. The blind is operated by a colour co-ordinated loop cord fitted to the blind (when loop cords are requested longer than 1800mm, they have to be made specially and have a default colour of white only).
Fit
Silhouette blinds are available to be surface mounted, flush or rebated.
