Custom Sheer Window Shades — Soft Light, Timeless Beauty
Sheer shades — including solar shades, light-filtering cellular shades, and sheer horizontal shadings — diffuse natural light into a soft, warm, even glow while providing daytime privacy. They are the ideal choice for rooms where you want to feel connected to the outdoors without the harsh glare of direct sunlight.

Types of Sheer Shades
- Solar Roller Shades — screen fabrics in 1%, 3%, 5%, and 10% openness factors. Higher percentage = more light and view, less privacy. Lower percentage = more UV blocking and privacy.
- Sheer Cellular Shades — honeycomb cell structure with sheer fabric combining insulation benefits with soft diffused light
- Sheer Horizontal Shadings — soft horizontal fabric vanes suspended between sheer panels allow precise control of light angle and privacy
- S-Curve Sheer Shades — uniquely shaped curved vanes create a striking sculptural appearance with beautiful light diffusion
