FAQs about Waterproof Window Blinds

What is a sheer shade?

A sheer shade resembles a cellular or pleated shade in a sheer fabric. A sheer shade is better than its cellular and pleated cousins in that it can help you control external light and privacy without being raised – all you need to do is adjust the tilt of the sheer fabric vanes.

Can people see through sheer shades?

It depends. When lights are on in your room in the evening, sheer shades without a liner won’t protect your privacy. Transparent sheer fabrics will let people on the outside see through, potentially compromising your modesty. However, during the daytime, they’ll offer partial protection of your privacy.

Is there a shade I can see out of but people can't see in?

Absolutely yes! There are privacy sheer blinds and solar shades with 5% to 14% openness factor which can let you see out of the window but prevent people on the outside from seeing in during the day. The exact reverse is true at night.

What is the point of sheer blinds?

Sheer blinds perfectly (and softly!) diffuse window sunlight, helping you to hide unsightly views and shield your furniture, flooring, and fixtures from the full force of direct sunlight.
