3” Sheer Light Filtering Shades combine the light control of a horizontal blind with the beauty of a fabric shade. The 3” vanes allow for a more unobstructed view to the outside. Our collection of 3” Sheer Light Filtering Shades are custom crafted from knitted polyester for a delicate look and feel, and are available in 10 designer colors. Additionally, each shade is evenly weighted at the bottom for a perfect fabric drop. When raised, the fabric vanes will be concealed by the white headrail with fabric coordinated insert. As with all of our products, the 3” Sheer Light Filtering Shades come with a lifetime warranty.

I reviewed the shades on-line, but wanted to finalize the order with a cust. rep. He was very helpful & knowledgeable. The shade arrived when expected & the installation (by husband) went fine. We are enjoying the<br>view while the sun is filtered. I will surely order from Select Blinds again! Thank you for a great product & great service.

I recently moved into a new home, and had bought sheer blinds from a decorator in our former home. These are the same quality - and about half the price.

My husband just installed the blinds in our vacation home. We both love them. They are beautiful and look exactly like the much more expensive decorator store blinds we have in our home (Hunter Douglas). I was very nervous about ordering blinds online, but the blinds were perfect and we will order again.

The light filtering worked better for our large sunny window than anticipated. I was a little disappointed with the "hardware" to keep the cord out of reach of children. There were no pictures or instructions, but we figured it out. The long cord still makes me nervous with toddlers.

Measure the exact width (left to right) of the inside edge of the window frame in three places (top, middle and bottom).
Take the smallest of the three measurements.
Write down that size making sure that it is the first number of the measurement. This is the width you will order.
Deductions
Headrail will measure ordered width minus 1/4".
Fabric will measure ordered width minus 1 1/8".
Height
Measure the exact height (top to bottom) from the top inside edge down to the window sill in three places.
Take the largest of the three measurements.
Write down that size making sure that it is the second number of the measurement. This is the height you will order.
Click here for length consideration to prevent buckling.
Your sheer horizontals will be fabricated to the exact lengh ordered, when the vanes are in the open position. When the vanes are rotated to the closed position, the shading will become 3/8" longer.
When closed on a inside mount, a slight puckering may occur on the lower most sheer section beccause of the contact with the sill. You may slightly raise the shading off the window sill. If preferred, the shading can be ordered 3/8" less than the measured length.
*width and length measurements may vary +/- 1/8"
Width
Measure the exact width (left to right) of the wooden or metal window frame or how wide you would like the blind or shade to be.
Make sure to measure wide enough as to cover the entire window and provide maximum light gap coverage. Example: If the window opening is 36", it might be helpful to order 40". This will provide 2" coverage on each side of the window.
There is no rule on the width of blinds other than to make sure that it is wide enough to cover the opening.
Write down that size making sure that it is the first number of the measurement. This is the width you will order.
Headrail will measure ordered width plus 1/4".
Fabric will measure ordered width minus 3/4".
Height
Measure the height you would like the blind to be by measuring top to bottom.
We recommend adding about 3 or 4 inches to this number to insure maximum light gap coverage and to cover the window completely.
Please be sure to know that the height measurement will always include the headrail. Example: if the height ordered is 80" this will be the height including the headrail (from the very top of the headrail to the bottom rail).
You will want to mount the headrail above the window frame. Please make a note that some windows have trim that might interfere with mounting so it's important to measure above the trim if this is the case.
Headrail is 2 7/8" in height.
The length of the shade will be the exact length ordered when the vanes are tilted in the open position. When the vanes are tilted shut the shade will become 3/8" longer.
*width and length measurements may vary +/- 1/8"
