Can I get sheer roller blind fabric samples?

A.

Yes — sheer roller blinds are often called light-filtering blinds because they allow daylight to pass through while softening glare and improving privacy.

Light-filtering blinds is a broader term, but in this context it usually means a roller blind made from a translucent or sheer fabric. They are different from sunscreen blinds, which are mesh-like fabrics designed to maintain a view out during the day.

Generally, yes. Translucent roller blinds and sheer roller blinds are often describing the same type of product — a roller blind that lets light through but does not allow a clear view through the fabric.

Translucent does not mean transparent. The fabrics we offer are opaque, so they provide privacy while still letting soft natural light into the room.

The main difference between sheer roller blinds and sunscreen roller blinds is that sheer roller blinds provide a softer, more diffused light-filtering finish, while sunscreen roller blinds are designed to retain daytime view to varying degrees. You can't see in or out through most sheer roller blind fabrics. Both options cut back the sun's heat, glare, and damaging UV light.

Sheer roller blinds are generally chosen for non-bedroom living areas where soft diffused light and all-day complete privacy is required. Being opaque they do provide complete night-time privacy as well however they are not a blackout room-darkening solution.

Sunscreen blinds provide daytime privacy only. They also allow you to retain your view out during the day, making them better where glare reduction, UV protection, and keeping the view are the main priorities.

TIP: If unsure, get a quote for both and request loan fabric samples to make that final decision.
