Sheer Horizontal Shades

Smart Design

for Light Control & Energy Savings

Versatile and beautiful, both of our sheer horizontal shades combine the style and advantages of blinds with the privacy of sheers in one great design! We carry two distinct styles of sheer horizontal shades, both of which are made in Toronto.

Illusions – Are Sheer Horizontal shades that have fabric vanes attached between two layers of sheer and has light control options similar to a venetian style blind. These typically feature 2.5” or 3” vanes in a variety of colours with both light filtering and room darkening options.

Interludes – Are a stripe shade style often referred to as zebra shades. These operate similar to a roller shade with a continuous sheer fabric which has privacy or room darkening stripes overlaid on it. The fabric is anchored at the back of the cassette valance and rolls up and down similar to a roller shade, as the fabric rolls through the bottom bar, the stripes move passed each other as the blind is raised and lowered. This allows you to stop the shade in the position which is convenient for your needs, light control and privacy at any given time of the day.

Both styles feature breathtaking sheer views, privacy and light control. When in the open position the suns glare is gently diffused and when in the closed position the shade provides complete privacy. When you raise the shade, it disappears into the colour coordinated contoured headrail. We have a wide variety of colours and fabric options; including light filtering and room darkening to meet all your decorating needs.

Available as single shade up to 108” wide or as multiple shades in the same valance allowing independent operation for each section. This is perfect for large picture windows when you want to open the crank window but limit sunlight coming through the middle section of the window as well as for use on patio doors.

Our Sheer Horizontal shades feature many choices for operation:

Steel chain (perfect for tall or hard to reach windows) which come with a Health Canada approved chain guard. Available on both Illusions and Interludes.

Zero Gravity chainless system is the gold standard of chainless roller shades -it operates smoothly and can be raised with the lightest touch and stops instantly when you let go of the hem bar. Available on Interlude only.

Motorization is available for roller shades from 21” to 168” wide. We do more motorization in Windsor – Essex and Chatham – Kent than our competitors and carry a full range of options for all needs. Our roller shades are motorized with either SG motors or Somfy motors; all are radio frequency motors. The most popular are wire free with built in rechargeable lithium batteries. We also carry heavy lift Somfy motors which use a 120V power outlet and can handle even the biggest of shades. Both motorization options can be connected to optional smart hubs which connect to your wifi and allow you to control the roller shades and set timed operation of them from your smart phone.
