Let Light In But Keep Privacy With These Shades
Do you ever wish you could enjoy natural light without looking into your neighbor’s yard? At North Idaho Blinds, Shades & Shutters, we have the solution!
We have several Hunter Douglas window treatments, including sheer window shades that provide simultaneous sunlight and privacy, and our team can help you decide which are best for your home.
Sheer Window Shades: A Fusion of Light and Privacy
Sheer fabric is the optimal material to combine sunlight and privacy. It diffuses light across the room and provides superior UV protection for your home’s interior. Sheer shades enhance aesthetics and add softness to rooms with sharp angles and industrial materials.
Here are some various styles of Hunter Douglas sheer window shades you’ll love in your home:
Silhouette® Sheer Shades
Adjustable S-shaped vanes between front and back sheer panels give Hunter Douglas Silhouette® Sheer Shades their elegant appearance. Customize your shades with over 150 colors and fabrics and various vane widths. Enhance privacy and light control with the double-fabric vanes of Silhouette Halo™ Sheer Shades.
Pirouette® Sheer Shades
An adjustable fabric vane on a sheer backing provides a clean, sleek appearance. Upgrade your Hunter Douglas Pirouette® Sheer Shades with ClearView® sheers, a specialized fabric that provides a fantastic view without reducing privacy.
Luminette® Sheer Panels
Hunter Douglas Luminette® Sheer Panels look like delicate drapery and are perfect for sliding glass doors and expansive windows. The vanes rotate 180° for precise privacy control and are available in various colors. We suggest hanging Luminette® Sheer Panels on sidelights to enjoy a secure, brightly-lit entryway.
Types of Control Options for Sheer Window Shades
Here are some different types of control options for sheer shades that help you let light in but keep your privacy:
- PowerView® Automation: An innovative, feature-rich system with intuitive controls that lets you set schedules to lift, lower, and adjust shades even when you’re not home.
- UltraGlide® Wand: An ergonomic retractable wand that stays a constant length for a safe, clutter-free home.
- EasyRise™ Loop: A continuous loop that uses a wall-mounted cord tensioner to provide smooth movement and is ideal for large windows.
- SoftTouch® Motorization: A battery-powered motorization system that moves your shades when you push or pull the wand.
- LiteRise® Push/Pull: This straightforward manual design adjusts your sheer shades when you push or pull on the bottom rail. It’s only available for Silhouette® Sheer Shades.
Alternative Options for Sheer Window Coverings
Hunter Douglas sheer shades are stunning but may not fit everyone’s ideal interior design. In that case, you can choose from several other window treatments that offer sheer and light-filtering options, such as:
