Sheer and banded shades with soft fabric vanes between sheer layers that tilt to filter daylight, giving the look of drapes and blinds in one elegant, easy-to-operate treatment.
Sheer shades combine soft fabric vanes with a sheer face, so you can tilt the vanes to filter light or lower them for privacy. They have the elegance of drapery and the control of a blind. Homeowners in Nashville like them in living rooms, dining rooms and bedrooms.
We show how the vanes open to let in diffused light while still giving a view, and how they close for privacy. We compare fabric colors, vane widths and bottom rail styles, and explain lifts, including cordless and motorized options. We measure, order and install the headrail level, then set the tilt and show you how the vanes, sheer layers and rail move together without twisting. Sheer shades are best judged in motion. We tilt the vanes open and closed on a sample and watch how light moves across the room. The effect is soft and layered in a way that a still photograph cannot show. We also explain the difference between sheer vanes and banded styles, which alternate fabric bands for a slightly different look.
The vanes tilt open for diffused light and close for privacy, and we demonstrate with samples.
Colors, textures and vane widths change the mood, and we hold them up in your light.
Cord, cordless and motorized options are available, with motors popular on wide windows.
The headrail is leveled and the vanes are adjusted so they hang straight and tilt evenly.
