Pirouettes. Pirouette window shadings feature soft, fabric vanes. There are a variety of operational options with pirouettes; including, cord, cordless and motorized. These vanes, while floating horizontally in place, attach to a sheer backing, allowing the entering light to transform from a harsh glare to an ambient glow, dispersing natural light evenly around the room. The fabric vanes easily tilt, for personal adjustments. Upon closing, the fabric vanes come together to present the look of a shade, with levels of room-darkening for the ultimate in light control, privacy and UV protection. The horizontal vanes present the classic look of shutters with the contemporary feel of shadings. Pirouettes also provide a great solution to soften the space with fabrics. Beautifully highlighted with an extensive collection of fabrics, the opportunity for complementary design allows you to coordinate your entire space. The only negative aspect with pirouettes is cleaning. Like most fabric window treatments, you will have to clean the fabric with a damp cloth. Unlike the shutters that can be simply dusted off.
