At The Blind Guy near Lewiston, ID, we proudly offer Hunter Douglas sheer shades, including Silhouette® Sheer Shades and Pirouette® Sheer Shades, along with other top-quality brands. Our expert team can help you understand why sheer window shades might be ideal for your home.

What Are Sheer Shades?

Sheer shades are a hybrid between blinds and curtains. They feature soft fabric vanes suspended between two sheer panels, allowing you to tilt them for light control while keeping the outside view partially visible.

These shades reduce glare, filter harmful UV rays, and provide daytime privacy without completely darkening a room.

Types of Sheer Shades

Here are a few types of our collection of sheer shades:
