Light Filtering

Light: During the day, enjoy the cheerfulness that the sun brings, while controlling it's strength. 

Fading:
When the vanes are closed, sheer horizontal shadings block a significant portion of the sun's UV rays that cause your furniture and floors to fade.

How Do Sheer Horizontal Shades Operate?

Completely open, the view of the outside world is subdued. When partially to completely closed, there's a softly diffused glow with opalescent translucency. When raised, the entire shading disappears into a sleek headrail.

Which Vane Size Should I Choose for Sheer Horizontal Shades?

As a rule, the narrower the vane, the more vanes necessary.

  2 inch sheer vane 2 1/2 inch sheer vane 3 inch sheer vane  
2" Vanes 2 1/2" Vanes 3" Vanes
2" Vane:  The 2" vanes use more vanes to cover the opening due to their width.  Relative to the other vane widths they create a busier look, limiting your view to the outside.  The 2" vane width is the most popular of the sheer vane sizes.

2 1/2" Vane:  Shadings made with a 2 1/2" wide vane provide a clearer view to the outdoors.  The
2 1/2" vane is perfect for larger windows. 

3" Vane:  The 3" vane provides a shutter-like look and offers a less obstructed view to the outside; because the vanes are wider, it takes fewer of them to construct the blind.  We recommend the 3" vane for very large windows where you want to harmonize the window size with the window covering.
