Benefits of Sheers and Shadings
There are many reasons why you may be considering changing your window treatments. Perhaps you want to make a room brighter or feel larger. Maybe you also want to find new ways to protect your furniture and flooring from fading. If you have found yourself thinking about making any design changes, you may want to consider the benefits of sheers and shadings. These beautiful and functional Hunter Douglas offerings can upgrade any space, which is why the experts at Gables New York would like to tell you a bit more about your options.
For rooms that you feel could use both privacy and light control, Silhouette® Window Shadings could be the solution you've been searching for. A white sheer behind the S-shaped fabric vanes offers a continuous level of privacy even when the vanes are opened. This means that you can feel confident about having a view of the outside world while also achieving a sense of privacy, which is one of the benefits of sheers and shadings.
The Silhouette®, which offers a level of UV protection, also comes in a range of beautiful colors and fabrics. Colors such as Capri, Pesto, and Soft White can make any space in your home feel more elegant and beautiful. Additionally, you will also find that you can customize your window fashions in other ways as well by adding various pieces of hardware. As you can see, there are many benefits of sheers and shadings.
Pirouette® Window Shadings are another design that can also provide crisp lines and impressive style to any setting within your residence. The S-shaped vanes in this design gracefully float due to the Invisi-Lift™system, which also allows the shade to be repositioned without any cords or tape. Another one of the benefits of sheers and shadings is that these too come in an assortment of colors that may be perfect for your home, including but not limited to Storm, Raw Canvas, and Ballet.
Finally, for expansive windows or sliding glass doors, Luminette® Privacy Sheers may be the perfect solution. These vertical window treatments conceal any needed hardware thanks to the SofTrak™ system, which is another one of the benefits of sheers and shadings. Whether you're looking for the metallic finish of Silver Shine or the bright glow of Radiant White, you can also choose which look best fits your desired aesthetic.
In addition to the aforementioned benefits of sheers and shadings, we offer a wide selection of other wonderful options as well, including Hunter Douglas shutters, automation, and more, which is why we would like to invite you to stop by our showroom to explore our catalog for yourself.
