Sheer Blinds & Shades - Window Shadings

Banded Sheer Shades vs. Traditional Sheer Shades

Banded sheer shades, also known as layered shades, can be adjusted to either a partially open or fully closed position by aligning the alternating fabric bands. This allows more control over the degree of privacy vs the amount of light that enters a room. Banded sheer shades are often preferred for rooms that require more privacy, such as bedrooms.

Traditional sheer shades operate by tilting to either fully open or fully closed positions. While they offer fewer adjustments, they still provide light coverage and privacy. When fully closed people outside your house can typically still make out silhouettes of objects and people inside a room (especially if there is a light source in a room).

Customization Options for Sheer Blinds

Our sheer blinds can be customized in a number of ways to exactly meet your needs and preferences. Whether you are looking for specific colors, sizes, or operating mechanisms, we have the right option for you:

• Opacity Levels: You can select sheer blinds based on how much natural light you want to enter a room. For rooms where you want more sunlight, opt for lighter fabrics that let more light in and for rooms where more privacy and less light is desired, select denser fabrics for increased privacy and light filtration.
• Fabric Colors: Choose from a wide selection of fabric colours, from neutral and light white and grey tones to more bold options such as deep blues or rich earth tones, we offer a wide range of options to match your furniture and interior design style.
• Wand vs. Cord Operation: Wand controls offer a sleek, cordless look, while cords provide traditional functionality.
• Manual vs Motorized Sheer Blinds: As with our other blind types, besides manual cordless blinds, we also offer motorized sheer blinds. These are ideal for higher and thus harder-to-reach windows. They can be operated with a remote control and our most sophisticated models can even be integrated with smart home systems.
• Custom Sizing: Every window is unique, which is why we offer custom-sized sheer blinds. Follow our detailed measurement instructions to pick the right sheer blinds for your windows or doors.

FAQ: Sheer Shades & Blinds

What are sheer blinds?

Sheer blinds are window coverings that are constructed using soft fabrics, but provide many of the functional benefit that traditional blinds provide. They feature horizontal fabric vanes between sheer layers, allowing for light control and privacy.

How do sheer blinds work?

Sheer blinds operate with adjustable fabric vanes that tilt to control the amount of light entering a room. When open, the sheer layers allow light to filter in while maintaining a view of the outside.

Are sheer blinds good for privacy?

Yes, sheer blinds offer a balance of light control and privacy. While the sheer fabric allows light to pass through, tilting the vanes will obscure the view from the outside, giving you privacy during the day.
