Sheer Shades for Windows
Sheer shades, at one point, were considered a secret in the world of interior design. Now, the secret is out and sheer shades and blinds are very popular window coverings. The sheer fabric adds a delicate touch to any room and can be tilted to provide increased privacy when needed.
If you’re looking to make a room feel airy, bigger, and brighter, you cannot go wrong with custom sheer shades. Just keep in mind where your sheer fabric blinds are going to be placed and how much privacy you will require. That well help determine the color, thickness, and style to ensure a perfect fit for your home.
What Are Sheer Shades?
Learn more about custom sheer shades and why they’re an excellent choice for your home.
Benefits of Light Filtering Sheer Shades
Sheer shades are constructed with an airy layer of soft sheer fabric on the inside of the vanes, which helps them bring in a decent amount of natural light. Typically, these horizontal sheer shades are woven to give a more natural look and feel, compared to plastic, glued imitators. Vertical sheer shades are not as common anymore, but when you’re looking to play with the natural light, then they are an excellent option, as well as being a unique design factor in your home.
What to Consider When Selecting a Sheer Shade
First, consider the light level you’re looking to achieve in your room. This is an essential factor when pinpointing the best sheer shades. It's a good idea to pair curtains with your horizontal sheer shades so that you can get a total blackout of light when necessary. Curtains will give you an extra layer of privacy, as sheer shades very rarely provide complete street-facing coverage. After all, the primary purpose of sheer shades is to let in light as much as possible.
If you plan on using sheer shades in the bedroom, you may opt-in for darker colors to start to help mute the incoming light and make the room darker. Other rooms, such as the living room, may benefit from brighter colors. Sheer shades are also very effective at blocking glare.
Banded Sheer Shades vs. Traditional Sheer Shades
Banded sheer shades, also sometimes called layered shades, can be adjusted to be either half-opened or fully closed by aligning the alternating, banded material to provide additional privacy. You will still have plenty of light coming in, but visibility will be slightly reduced. This is helpful when it comes to covering windows in more private settings, like a bedroom.
Traditional sheer shades tilt to be either fully closed or fully open. While this may not provide a lot of a lot options, it will still give you the coverage, or bright room, you’re looking for. Keep in mind, closed traditional sheer shades may still project a silhouette outside of the window. Especially if there is a light source in you room.
Customizable Options for Sheer Shades
Lift Options
Sheer shades include built-in systems that will easily and, in some cases, automatically retract or lower your shades. The most common option is a continuous loop lift, which is a looped cord that is bracketed to your wall and operated like a pully. There is also a cordless option, which allows you to effortlessly adjust your sheer window shades via the bottom rail. For the ultimate experience, choose a motorized lift to keep it simple and raise, lower, or tilt your sheer shades with the press of a button.Smart Home Compatible

Sheer Shades FAQ
We recommend regularly cleaning your sheer shades with a feather duster to keep them looking their best. To remove stains or smudges, gently vacuum the fabric with an upholstery attachment on the lightest setting. For harder stains, mix water with a light soap or detergent and gently spot clean the shade with a cloth. Please be sure never to fully submerge your sheer shades in water, as this will likely damage important components in the headrail.
For more detailed information on how to clean and care for your window coverings, please consult the instructions that are included with your sheer shades.
Sheer shades are made with sheer fabric, which allows them to filter incoming light. Technically, that makes all sheer shades light filtering. Usually, the term light filtering applies to other styles of window treatments that won’t completely darken a room. Sheer shades are usually more transparent than a traditional light filtering shade. We also carry banded sheers, which can be adjusted to become more opaque, and room darkening sheers, which contain a darker sheer fabric. Of course, it is always recommended you order a free sample of any fabric you are interested in so you can see and compare them in your own home.

"STOP SUN DAMAGE"
By Bird watcher from Indiana
I saw a similar product at a friends house and fell in love with them. After much research I choose to go with the sheer shadings from Blinds galore. My husband found the product easy to instal, and we both love the fact that we now have a product to combat our western sun exposure without compromising our view, or the look of our window.
