Blindsgalore Essential Sheer Shades

Why Choose Essential Sheer Shades?

  • Everyday Elegance: Our most affordable sheer shade, delivering a high-end look at an exceptional value.
  • Two Light Control Options: Choose light filtering vanes for a soft, natural glow or room darkening vanes for added privacy and darker rooms.
  • Tailored 2" Vanes: Classic 2" fabric vanes provide a clean, tailored look and precise light control on standard windows.
  • Soft Light Diffusion: Fabric vanes suspended between dual sheer layers soften sunlight while maintaining your outward view.
  • UV Protection: Reduces glare and helps protect flooring, furniture, and artwork from fading.
  • Custom-Made for Your Windows: Every shade is made to your exact measurements for a flawless fit in living rooms, bedrooms, dining spaces, and beyond.

Choose Your Light Control

  • Light Filtering: Softens incoming light and adds daytime privacy while preserving a gentle view outside. Ideal for living rooms, kitchens, and dining areas.
  • Room Darkening: With the vanes closed, the fabric vanes dim the room and provide full privacy. Ideal for bedrooms and media rooms. Some light will pass through the sheer and around the edges of the shade and where the vanes close, so this is not a blackout product.

Materials & Construction

  • Fabric composition: 100% woven polyester for durability and long-lasting beauty
  • Sheer + vane design: adjustable fabric vanes suspended between front and back sheer layers for view-through and light control
  • Cassette Valance Included: Ivory colored aluminum cassette valance with a color-coordinated fabric insert for a clean, finished look
  • Bottom Rail: Ivory bottom rail for a soft, neutral finish
  • Design Note: Due to the nature of rolled fabric vanes, the shade must be lowered all the way down before the vanes can open. Sheer vanes remain flat and closed while traveling or resting at intermediate heights. Once the shade is fully extended to the sill, the vanes open for view-through.

How it Operates

Choose the lift system that best suits your home, from a continuous cord loop to a fully automated smart home solution.

Continuous Cord Loop

  • Operate with a durable plastic beaded chain for smooth, precise positioning
  • Choose left or right position
  • Chain and tensioner come in ivory finish
  • Note: The tensioner must be mounted to the window casement or wall for the shade to operate
  • Chain loop length is based on the ordered shade height. See the table below.
Ordered Shade Height Chain Loop Drop Length
Up to 36"24" (2')
36-1/8" to 54"36" (3')

Will This Window Treatment Fit My Window?

Our window treatments are custom-crafted to fit a wide variety of spaces. If your window dimensions fall within the ranges listed below, you’re already halfway there! Next, we'll help you check your mounting space, which may vary depending on the style you choose.

Inside Mount Installation

Your window opening needs a minimum depth to hold the brackets. If your opening is deep enough, you can achieve a flush mount look where the treatment sits entirely inside the opening. Note: If your depth is between the minimum and flush requirements, your treatment will install securely but may stick out slightly from the window opening.

Outside Mount Installation

This installs on the wall or trim above your window. It’s ideal for total light control or your windows are too shallow for an inside mount. Ensure you have enough flat surface space to install the mounting brackets.

  • Width 23" - 94"
  • Height 12" - 94"
  • Minimum inside-mount depth 2 5/8"
  • Minimum flush-mount depth 3 1/2"
  • Minimum outside-mount space 3"
  • Headrail depth and height 3 1/2" x 3"

Please note the following exceptions to the above specifications

Continuous Cord Lift

  • Width 23" - 94"
  • Height 12" - 94"
  • Minimum inside-mount depth 2 5/8"
  • Minimum flush-mount depth 3 1/2"
  • Minimum outside-mount space 3"
  • Headrail depth and height 3 1/2" x 3"

Rechargeable Bluetooth Motorized Lift

Every Blindsgalore custom window treatment is backed by a manufacturer's warranty because we believe in the quality of what we sell. But we also know a warranty is only as good as the people standing behind it. That's why when you contact us, you'll speak with a real person who understands your order, your home, and your needs — not a call center or automated system.
