Design with the Elegance of Sheer Shades
One of design trends we’re noticing here in the Dallas area is the popularity of sheer shades. Our designers often recommend sheer shades to homeowners who want a functional window covering that softly filters out brightness, glare and harmful ultraviolet rays. As a Hunter Douglas Gallery, we offer a wide variety of sheer styles is a wide selection of trend-setting fabrics and colors.

Benefits of Sheer Shades
People are drawn to sheer shades for their beauty, and they love them for their functionality. Sheers provide the perfect balance of design elegance and window treatment function. Some of the benefits of sheer shades include:
- Sheer shades offer precise light control with translucent or room-darkening vane opacity options.
- Excellent for vertical openings. We often recommend our Luminette® sheers as an alternative to vertical blinds for sliding glass doors, French doors, and large windows.
- Also perfect for narrow sidelights and accent windows.
- Sheer shades provide excellent solar heat control and insulation, helping you increase the energy efficiency of your home.
Operating Choices for Sheer Shades
Sheer shades are simple to operate, and they can be motorized for extra convenience. Your operating options with sheer shades include:
- Combination wand/cord provide a single control to traverse the fabric and rotate the vanes.
- The PermaTilt® wand control system combines both tilt and traverse functions in one easy-to-use control, providing a safer environment for children and pets by completely eliminating the standard chain and cord.
- The PermAssure® wand eliminates looped pull cords completely, replacing them with a wand that remains safely out of a child’s reach.
- The Traveling Wand™ system offers a single wand control that both traverses the sheer and rotates the vanes
- PowerGlide and Platinum 2.1 motorized operations allows you to operate your window sheers with the touch of a button. Advanced options include solar sensors, timers and an iPad app to make automating your window treatments easier than ever.
