Vertical sheers (also known as sheer vertical blinds or sheer vertical shades) are a type of window covering that combines the softness of curtains with the functionality of vertical blinds. Here’s a clear breakdown:
✅ What Are Vertical Sheers?
They are vertical fabric panels made of sheer material (usually soft, translucent fabric) that:
Hang vertically like vertical blinds. Allow soft, diffused natural light to enter while offering privacy. Often have adjustable fabric vanes inside a sheer curtain layer.
Think of them as a hybrid between a curtain and a blind — elegant like sheers, practical like blinds.
🔧 How Do They Work?
The sheer panels are connected to a track at the top. They can be rotated (like vertical blinds) to adjust light and privacy. The entire set can be drawn to the side, like curtains.
🏠 Where Are They Used?
Living rooms Sliding glass doors or balcony doors Large windows
They’re popular in modern and minimalist interiors for adding softness without bulky drapes.
