Why Sheer Shades

Sheer shades may be the best kept secret when shopping for window shades. Most of the time, you have a pretty good idea of whether you are shopping for a window shade or window blind. If you already know that you want a sheer shade, you’ve come to the right place. SelectBlinds has a great line of sheer blinds at a discount. Most people only think about shades or blinds for their window covering needs. Sheer shades actually combine the components of a horizontal blind with that of a window shade.

Imagine a shade that can remain fully extended to cover your entire window, yet you can tilt the horizontal inner slats open giving you a full, slightly filtered view to the outside. That is the beauty of sheer shades. The SelectBlinds brand of sheer shades is available in 2 distinct styles. The 2” Sheer Light Filtering Shades will still allow a certain amount of light to gently filter through to your room even when the tilt is completely closed. These sheer blinds at a discount are anything but cheap shades. Available in 15 colors, these shades are the perfect complement to a living room, or any other formal style room where you don’t require the sun to be completely blocked out. And with the deluxe upgraded headrail, which is included at no additional cost, they look great on their own. Or if you are looking for the perfect style shade to provide privacy with drapes or curtains that accent your window rather than cover your window, this sheer shade is the ideal product.

2” Sheer Room Darkening Shades are ideal for a bedroom or media room where maximum sun blockage is desired. These solar shades work exactly as described above. They are sheer with the slats tilted fully open, allowing light to filter in, and they provide total privacy and maximum light blockage when the slats are tilted flush against each other. The SelectBlinds rooms darkening sheer shades also come standard with the deluxe upgraded headrail, and are available in 5 beautiful and rich shades of whites and creams.

Sheer weave shades are also a great solution for those windows that you want to cover with a 2” horizontal blind, but are too shallow for the 1 1/8” minimum depth required with most wood blinds and faux wood blinds for an inside mount. The SelectBlinds sheer shades require a depth of only ¾” for inside mounting. Please note that this depth is the minimum required for mounting. A fully flush inside mount requires more than a 3” depth.

Sheer shades from SelectBlinds.com are just one solution for the applications discussed above. Sheer weave shades are great as sun control shades, but they are not the only possibility. Please enjoy yourself as you shop throughout our site for other types of shades, including roller shades, roman shades, honeycomb shades, and more. We also offer shutters, and every style of window blind, in 1”, 2”, and 2 ½” horizontal slats. And for sliding glass doors, we offer a complete line of vertical blinds.
