Bring the Outside In with See Through Window Shades
See-through window shades are nothing new—this term is another way of saying window treatments with sheer opacity. When you enjoy shades with a sheer opacity, that means that you are able to see through them and into the outside world while still enjoying the light diffusion, UV protection, and privacy a shading system provides.
At Blind Ambition, we carry a variety of sheer see through window shades from Hunter Douglas so that you can enjoy your indoor space while bringing the outside in. We recommend window treatments with sheer opacity to clients who want light and graceful window coverings with a sophisticated aesthetic and options to guard their privacy.
What are See Through Window Shades?
Window treatments with sheer opacity, also known as see through window shades, are in a different category than blinds or drapes. They’re versatile, light window coverings that create a soft, gentle glow, with room-darkening options available. You can see through them easily and choose luxury solid or patterned fabrics.
Moreover, see-through window shades are versatile because they come in different styles that complement different interiors. The sheer fabric styles are timeless and complement decor without overwhelming it.
The Appeal of See-Through Window Shades
Three of our favorite varieties of see through window shades from Hunter Douglas include sheer shades, solar shades, and banded shades.
- Sheer Shades: Sheer shades are an elegant combination of traditional blinds and modern shades. They feature a combination of adjustable fabric vanes and sheer fabric panels. This innovative design diffuses and disperses sunlight evenly throughout the room while offering a level of protection against UV rays. When fully closed, sheer shades from Hunter Douglas provide privacy with their opaque vanes.
- Solar Shades: Hunter Douglas Designer Solar Shades are designed to target sun control, UV protection, and energy efficiency. Crafted with a see through material that reduces glare, they preserve your view outside while shielding the interior from sunlight that can fade furniture and overheat the space.
- Banded Shades: Hunter Douglas Designer Banded Shades, also known as zebra shades, pleated shades, or layered shades, consist of alternating bands of sheer and opaque fabrics similar to the look of horizontal blinds. These bands can be aligned or offset, allowing for light control and privacy, managing light without forgoing the view of the outside.
What are Luminettes?
People visit our showroom often, asking this exact question. They’re referring to Hunter Douglas Luminette® Sheer Panels, which blend the functionality of vertical blinds with the beauty of sheer shades—they are the best of both worlds. For this reason, this product won the Window Covering Manufacturers Association’s (WCMA) 2022 Product of the Year.
Luminette® Sheer Panels feature 3½” rotating vertical fabric vanes within sheer material, offering 180 degrees of light control. We recommend them for expansive windows, sliding glass doors, and French doors; the PowerView® Automation motorization feature is available with these sophisticated see-through shades.
On top of their good looks, Luminette® Sheer Panels can contribute to your home’s overall energy efficiency. By allowing natural light to illuminate your living spaces, you reduce the need for artificial lighting during the day. These see-through window shades also act as a protective barrier, filtering out those harmful UV rays without compromising the beauty of natural light.
