sheer roller blinds in the kitchen and dining areas

Perfectly in-between

If a blockout is too, blockout, and a sunscreen doesn’t provide the privacy you need then maybe a sheer roller blind is the perfect in-between solution. In the living areas, sheer roller blinds can deliver soft ambient light during the day while still delivering complete privacy at night. It’s kind of doing what a separate sunscreen and blockout combined would be doing but in one blind, not two

You don’t have the view out through sheer roller blinds and they aren't suitable for bedrooms when used alone really. So not right for some situations, however sheer window treatments really hit the mark and save money in others

Energy efficiency and UV protection are also key benefits of our sheer roller blinds, ensuring your home stays comfortable and your furniture is protected from sun damage

Low maintenance, high performance

Like other window covering products here, sheer shades are so easy to install and operate. With so few working parts, and because we only offer lasting quality components, there’s so few things that can go wrong with modern sheer roller blinds

Smooth operation; pull the control chain for up, pull the control chain for down. Want it even easier than that? You could motorise your sheer blinds. Pick the supplier well; one that only uses proven parts, trusted fabrics, and proven practices and your sheer roller blinds will last for many years to come

Our motorised sheer roller blinds option adds convenience and sophistication to your window coverings

Best blind practises

Time and time again i see people’s due diligence start and finish with matching the fabric between competing quotes. There is so much more that goes into ensuring blinds will last

Ok so you’ve picked a manufacturer that uses reputable fabric suppliers. What about the components that make up the blinds; the plastic bits, the control and idle ends, the head tubes, bottom-rails and brackets? Then there’s how they’re cutting and sealing the fabrics; at what pressure and speed? All these seemingly little things equate to how well your premium sheer roller blinds operate and how long they’ll last

None of these aspects are overlooked or compromised here. i’ve spent too long repairing poorly made blinds with inferior parts, in the past, to be involved in making them that way

Our commitment to sustainability means we also prioritise eco-friendly materials and processes in the manufacturing of our sheer roller blinds

Save you money

If like many you’re getting roller blinds throughout your home don’t overlook the sheer elegance of the sheer roller blind. Many blockout roller fabric ranges have sheer roller blind fabrics to match

In some areas of your home where initially you were going to get both a sunscreen and a blockout in one window; one carefully placed sheer roller blind instead may have just saved you the cost of a blind. Add those savings up over several windows and suddenly your window covering quote or spend looks quite different 

Maximising natural light while preserving privacy, sheer roller blinds are a cost-effective solution for smart, energy-efficient homes

Measuring

Stress-free measuring

It’s not hard to get accurate measurements for your sheer roller blinds. Stay focused and follow the steps below. Where some go wrong is by skipping the measure thrice, cut once principle, or rushing, not holding the tape measure straight or incorrectly transposing the measurements. We’re going to measure three times and order once Whether you need to install your sheer roller blinds ‘inside the jamb’ or ‘outside the jamb’, both measuring methods are available as downloadable pdf’s below. Inside the jamb is most common and is detailed as follows…

Measure in 3 steps

1. How wide?

With a measuring tape that provides millimetres we’re going to calmly approach the window or door space and measure inside your window jamb; take hard ‘wood to wood’ dimensions without making any deductions. The factory will make any required deductions to your sheer roller blinds for you The approach to measuring width that never fails, if applied with steely resolve, is to measure the width at three different heights in the window space and provide the smallest measurement only. This repeated action exposes any warping or bowing in your window frames and has you reading the tape measure 3 times. Measure at the top of the window jamb, somewhere in the middle, and at the bottom of the jamb Be conscious of holding the measuring tape level as this will ensure the most accurate measurements. Measure wood to wood; inside edge to inside edge, in millimetres. Don’t struggle trying to perform these steps on the wider window and door spaces alone; grab a family member, or friend, to join in on the action Remember it’s the shortest dimension in mm’s you are to provide. Ensuring precision in your measurements is crucial for the perfect fit and optimal light control and privacy

2. How high?

You can relax a little now, in measuring the drop; it’s not as crucial as measuring the width, however, don’t let your guard completely down; we still want to get this right. The height need only be measured once as there’s always a little extra fabric in the blind to allow for anomalies Hold the measuring tape vertical and measure in millimetres. If you’re now a converted believer in measuring twice then there's no harm in doing it here too; it's a good way of ensuring you read the measuring tape correctly when you do it more than once per measurement Correct drop measurements ensures a sleek, tailored appearance that enhances both the functionality and aesthetics of your sheer roller blinds

3. Final measurements

Don’t let your accomplice, if you have one, distract you at any time. Now is not a time for stories of last weekend; the same numbers on the tape measure want to find their way to the ‘Get A Quote’ form and in the same sequence. No typos equal no pain and suffering later. Follow these steps and you will be DIY worthy You will receive perfect-sized sheer roller blinds every time. If we’re check measuring and installing for you, the same dedicated focus perhaps isn’t needed as small final measurement differences won’t change the price DIY accuracy here ensures your sheer blinds will be produced to meet your exact needs, providing the desired balance of light and privacy

Installation made easy

We’re going to get those sheer roller blinds installed without any fuss or stress. The following instructions outline the installation of sheer roller blinds within the window jamb, which is the most common approach. However for the outside fit approach (if that’s what you measured for initially) see all the installation PDF’s below. Three easy steps; just follow along…

1. Items required

Assemble what you’ll need. The list looks something like this: the screws and brackets (as supplied). A screwdriver to match. Or if you’re qualified to handle a power drill, then one of those with the right bit to fit the screws. A 2mm drill bit to pre drill the holes – makes screwing the screws in easier and with less chance of cracking wood

Don’t forget the tape measure to keep things consistent, a pencil to mark where the screws will go, and maybe for the hard to reach spaces or for the vertically challenged, a step ladder. You’re good to move to step 2...

2. Brackets next

Brackets; essential for any great sheer roller blind install. Two brackets per blind; the one with the ‘pokey-outey’ tab matches up with the control end of the sheer roller blind. The other bracket, the one with the groove and hole in it is for the ‘idle’ or ‘pin end’ of the blind. Think about how deep within the jamb you want the sheer roller blind to sit. You want it placed so the fabric ‘falls’ within the jamb ideally and misses any window handles or latches etc

Hold the bracket in place while you mark the screw locations. Two screws per bracket up through the top of the bracket is the way to go. The measuring tape helps you set the brackets at the same depth within each window jamb, for superior blind placement consistency. Pre drill holes if you like then insert and tighten screws so those brackets are good and secure

 

3. Fit blind

Remove the sheer roller blind from its packaging. Or not? Read ‘TIP 1’ to decide how one is best to move past this predicament

TIP 1: For light coloured fabrics or those of us with overly oily fingers you may be best to wear surgical gloves or keep the plastic packaging on (but with the ends cut off) so you can install your sheer roller blinds safe from smudges

When installation is complete, remove the packaging by cutting or ripping the plastic off with care. Either way forward leave the band that keeps the blind rolled up, on, for now

The control end of the blind gets put on its bracket first. Do in such a way that the control chain is hanging freely and the blind is at an orientation to ensure the control chain guard is level front to back. If once you’ve inserted the sheer roller blind’s control end, the guard isn’t level front to back, take the blind off and try again

It’s easy to get this bit wrong initially so don’t be so hard on yourself. Once the control end is on properly shuffle your grip so you can insert the idle end (other end) of the blind while still supporting the blind and keeping it pushed on to the control end bracket

Raise the idle or ‘pin end’ of the sheer roller blind so the retractable pin finds the idle end bracket groove. You may need to retract the pin a bit, by turning the notched wheel, to get the pin into the bracket groove. Once in push the blind up until you hear the ‘click’ that says ‘I’m securely where I should be, thanks’

As soon as you have safely installed the sheer roller blind give yourself a pat on the back, remove the securing band from the blind, and set the blind where you want it

FAQS

Q.

What are sheer roller blinds?

Sheer roller blinds, or light-filtering blinds (same thing), use sheer fabrics to dial back intense direct sunlight by transforming it into soft, ambient light, more like a glow. This creates pleasant living spaces, without removing access to natural light, and reduces the need for artificial lighting as well Choosing a sheer roller blind fabric gives you more control over how light enters and illuminates a room. From the outside (looking in) you may sometimes see subtle shadows or movement if someone was very close to the sheer roller blind inside. They provide complete privacy, as unlike sunscreen fabrics there is no direct see-through – (updated Oct 2023)

We don't currently sell any sheer roller blind fabrics which can be seen through. They are all opaque. There are some sheer roller blind fabrics on the market with a slightly more open weave however even those wouldn't compromise your privacy I'd say. During the day when your sheer roller blinds are down you'll get nice soft diffused light. At night you have absolute privacy. You'd have to literally almost touch the fabric for someone to see a blurry shape at best. If you're still unsure about this aspect of sheer roller blinds I'd encourage you to request your desired fabric ranges to borrow and see for yourself.

For bedrooms, generally no. People want more blockout type window coverings than what sheer roller blinds provide. Sheer roller blinds deliver soft diffused light during the day. In saying that I have sold sheer roller blinds where the client overruled this notion and deliberately wanted to wake with the day – so blockout wasn't his fabric type of choice. If you were going the 'wake with the sun approach', like this chap, you'd want to think about whether you had any pesky street lights near your bedroom windows at all. For media rooms you'll want more blockout control than what sheer roller blinds deliver.

There's no price difference between colours of a specific sheer roller blind fabric range. Take the 'Metroshade LF' range for example; there is no price difference between the 6 colours available in that range. There are however price differences between varying sheer roller blind fabric ranges. 'Skye LF' would produce a higher quote than say 'Palm Beach LF' for example – (updated Oct 2023)

There's much confusion between what a sheer roller blind (also called a light-filtering roller blind) is, when compared to a sunscreen roller blind. And it seems many people are largely unaware that sheer roller blinds even exist as a window covering option Let me try to clear up the differences here: With sunscreens, you keep your view, to varying degrees, while cutting back the sun's heat and glare. Meanwhile, with sheer roller blinds, you can't see out or in through the sheer blind fabric. There are some rare exceptions to that last statement however not in terms of the options we offer Sheer roller blind fabrics aren't blockout; they create nice soft diffused light during the day. You'd most likely select sheer roller blinds for non-bedroom areas, where you want the option of complete privacy day or night, but still allow light in during the day with the sheer roller blinds down. And where the view isn't so important If a blockout is too much and a sunscreen doesn’t provide the privacy you need at night then a sheer roller blind may be that perfect in-between solution for you. You get complete privacy night and day with sheer roller blinds. It’s almost achieving what a separate sunscreen and blockout blind grouped together would be doing, but in one blind, not two, however like what was said above these aren't really suitable for bedrooms I'm sure you get the idea and I'm happy to send out loan samples where required after first getting a quote. Sheer roller blinds are the forgotten roller blind cousin; largely underrated, but the perfect solution in the right situation – (updated Oct 2023)
