Sheer shades are designed to give you the benefits of two different shades in one. When lowered, you can position the horizontal fabric vanes in an "open" position like a wood blind, letting the two layers of sheer material softly filter incoming sunshine and more evenly disperse the softened light around the room (that's shade #1!).  When you need extra privacy or want to darken the room, just rotate the fabric vanes down flat to fully cover the window (shade #2!).  Of course you can always raise the shade and let the sun shine in – the sheer shade material rolls up into the cassette valance and disappears for an unobstructed view outside. Upgrade to motorized lift control for a truly remarkable window covering!  

Get to know this shade:

• Room-darkening fabric vanes open and close like a horizontal blind when the shade is fully lowered
• Durable aluminum cassette valance with color-coordinated fabric insert provides a finished look
• Beaded nylon chain is the default lifting mechanism, or choose the available motorized lift with rechargeable battery

Why you'll love this shade:

• Versatile light control options give you the flexibility to darken the room, gently filter light, or raise the shade completely
• Room darkening fabric provides complete privacy and excellent light control
• Sheer material helps filter damaging UV rays to protect your furnishings from fading and helps distribute incoming light more evenly
• Meets all CPSC child safety guidelines

Key considerations:

• Bottomrail and cassette valance will both be ivory, and cassette will include a color-coordinated fabric insert
• Shade material will be 1 – 1 3/4" narrower than ordered width in order to accommodate the control mechanisms and brackets at the top of the shade
• Shade is top mount only, side mount is not available (brackets must be installed either at the top of the window frame or on the wall)
