Privacy & Protection

Though sheer shades might look delicate, they are in fact as protective as they are graceful. That’s because the translucent fabrics used in sheer shades can block the view into your home while allowing the view out to remain unaffected. As such, sheer curtains provide daytime privacy with view-through capabilities. This makes sheer curtains a great choice for every kind of window from large bay windows where you want to see out but doesn’t want your neighbors to see into small windows in the bathroom where you need light and privacy. In addition to providing privacy, sheer shades can also protect your home by shielding it from the harmful UV rays of the sun. UV rays can damage your home’s furnishings, décor, and even flooring by causing warping, color fade, cracking, and premature aging. So, you can protect the people and things you cherish with the strategic use of modern window sheers.

Light-Control

The beauty of light-control with sheer curtains is that you do not have to sacrifice natural light for privacy. Instead, the sheer fabrics obstruct the view into your home while softly filtering light for a diffuse effect that fills the space with a warm glow; so even when window sheers are closed, they still allow natural light in. In this way, sheer curtains become a seamless transitional piece between the raw outdoors and the refinement of indoors. However, light-control with window sheers isn’t limited to soft diffusion, there are additional features like room-darkening liners, opaque textiles, and multi-treatment operating systems that afford sheer shades additional levels of control. So, from ambient glow to black-out darkness, sheer curtains can create a spectrum of gorgeous lighting options.
