Features of Sheer Shades
- Sheer Fabric and Horizontal Vanes: The sheer fabric diffuses light for a soft glow, while the vanes allow for precise light control and privacy.
- Diffused Light and Glare Reduction: The fabric minimizes harsh sunlight, creating a comfortable ambiance.
- Soft Glow and Privacy: When closed, the vanes provide privacy while maintaining the gentle glow of natural light.
Best Applications
