What they are

The softness of drapery, the control of a blind

Sheer vertical shades combine soft fabric vanes with a sheer backing or facing. Rotate the vanes open and daylight filters through the sheer for a soft, diffused glow; rotate them closed and they give you privacy. Draw the whole shade to the side and the door or window is completely open.

That makes sheer verticals one of the most elegant ways to cover a sliding patio door, a door wall or a wide picture window. They hang like drapery, but operate with the precision of a blind, and they don’t have the hard, clacking vanes of traditional vertical blinds.

We bring fabric samples in a range of colors and opacities, so you can see how much light each one lets through at your own door or window before you decide.

Where sheer verticals work best

Wide openings where you want softness and an easy way through.

Light control, privacy and style

What sheer vertical shades do for a room.

Diffused light

Sheer fabric softens daylight and takes the edge off glare.

Adjustable privacy

Rotate the vanes closed when you want more privacy.

UV protection

Fabric helps filter the sun that fades floors and furniture.

Quiet, soft look

No hard vanes knocking together when the door opens.

Operating options & care

Easy operation and gentle care

Sheer verticals are typically operated with a wand that both draws the shade and rotates the vanes, which keeps cords out of the way of a busy patio door. Motorized options are available on some products, which is convenient for very wide openings. We’ll show you the choices for your opening.

For care, dust or vacuum gently on low with a brush attachment, and spot clean with a damp cloth according to the fabric’s instructions. Because the vanes are fabric, avoid harsh cleaners or soaking.

  • Wand control for draw and tilt
  • Stack to one side or split center
  • Gentle dusting and spot cleaning

Sheer vertical questions

Common questions from Metro Detroit homeowners about sheer vertical shades.

How are sheer verticals different from vertical blinds?
Vertical blinds use separate vinyl or fabric vanes. Sheer verticals add a sheer fabric layer, so they filter light more softly, look more like drapery and are quieter when you open the door.
Are sheer verticals good for sliding doors?
Yes, they are one of the best choices for sliding patio doors and door walls, because they draw completely aside so you can walk through.
Do sheer verticals give privacy at night?
When the vanes are rotated closed, they give good privacy. Ask about fabric opacities during your consultation if night-time privacy is a priority.
Can they open from the center?
Many sheer verticals can stack to one side or split in the center. We’ll recommend the best option for how you use the door.
How do I clean sheer vertical shades?
Dust or vacuum them gently with a brush attachment and spot clean with a damp cloth. Follow the care instructions for your fabric.
