Hidden Strengths of Sheer Shades

Beneath the façade of delicate fabrics in sheer shades lies a treasure trove of state-of-the-art features. These often-unseen features give homeowners control over their home environment and peace of mind knowing their home is private and protected.

Advanced Light Control

For many, getting new window shades is done either primarily or partially for light control. With sheer shades, the versatility of light control is unmatched thanks to their innovative use of sheer and opaque fabrics and cutting-edge features. The design of sheer shades allows them to either softly filter light through the sheer fabrics or block it completely by closing the opaque vanes for a complete range of interior illumination options. And those fabrics aren’t just affecting the visible light spectrum - they also protect against the harmful elements of natural sunlight that we can’t see like UV. In fact, select styles of sheer shades can block up to 99% of UV protecting your home against the sun damage it can inflict on furnishings, flooring, and household keepsakes.

Privacy with a View

A second reason that many have for getting new window shades is for privacy. No one wants the unwanted gaze of strangers to permeate their home, or worse the tactful eye of a robber getting a firsthand look into your home. Many types of window treatments, like Roman shades or drapes, can close completely to block the view in; however, these kinds of treatments also block the view out. What makes sheer shades unique when it comes to providing privacy is that the translucent textiles obscure the view in without eliminating the view out. So, homes with sheer shades have privacy with a view and the additional ability to close off completely (like drapes or Roman shades) if needed.

Automated Features

It’s not just the innovative, sheer textiles used in sheer shades that afford the window treatment its hidden strengths. There are also operational systems available that are compatible with sheer shades that add their own layer of desirable attributes to the window fashion. For example, motorized operating systems are available for both Hunter Douglas and Alta® window sheers. Motorized systems give sheer shades easy smooth movement to heighten efficiency, and homeowners get the convenience of control at their fingertips. Motorization is also an excellent way to transform new window shades into child-safe options as the automation negates the need for hanging cords, which are a strangulation hazard for young children and small pets.
