Sheer Horizontal Shades

Sheer Horizontal shades combine the light filtering qualities of cellular shades with the privacy and room darkening qualities of thicker shades. Homeowners usually choose these shades for their contemporary style and versatility.

Sheer horizontal shades come in a variety of styles and colors including variations in light filtering fabrics. When completely closed, these shades can either diffuse light or completely darken a room depending on the type of shade purchased.

While most sheer horizontal shades allow some light through when closed, open slats, or open vanes, usually preserve some view of the outdoors while filtering light at the same time. In fact, these shades generally block 68% of incoming ultraviolet light to help preserve the colors in your rugs and furniture. While closed, sheer horizontal shades can either darken a room or help diffuse light while maintaining privacy.
