Most window treatments make you choose between light or privacy. They ask if you want to prioritize your view or your comfort. Sheer shades are the rare category that refuses the choice—soft fabric vanes layered in sheer material that you can open to enjoy your view and close shut for privacy, all in a single shade. A west-facing window gets that south Florida afternoon light that illuminates your entire room.

At Supershade South, we've spent over twenty years fitting sheer shades to Greater Fort Lauderdale homes. Here's where they earn their keep.

Waterfront Views Worth Framing

Got a water view? Don't cover it — frame it.

Whether you're looking at the New River, a canal, or open water from a Lauderdale by the Sea condo, the problem is the same: the view is part of the reason you're there. A solar shade provides an open-weave fabric that knocks down glare and blocks UV while you still see straight through it. Roller blinds in sheer fabric have a slim profile, perfect when the window is small or the setting is shallow.

Bedrooms Built for Better Sleep

Where a solar shade only features one setting, sheer shades have vanes that adjust. Open them to see out clearly. Close them and the wall of glass is now closed off for privacy.

Hunter Douglas Pirouette® Sheer Shades hang as a single sheer backing with horizontal fabric vanes attached to the front. Rotate the vanes and watch them expand into soft, dimensional folds that diffuse morning light across the room. Raise the shade and the vanes collapse flat, and the sheer backing disappears into the headrail so you get total access to your views.

Condos That Feel Custom

Condos feature many different kinds of windows and doors—floor-to-ceiling glass, sliding doors onto the balcony, small windows on the interior walls.

Luminette® Sheer Panels is perfect for wide windows and sliders. They're the vertical member of the Hunter Douglas sheer hade family—fabric vanes hung on a track that rotate a full 180 degrees, from open view to full privacy, and they traverse to one side when you want the door clear.

Silhouette® Sheer Shades handle horizonal orientation, with S-shaped vanes suspended between two sheer panels that tilt for precise light control and filter up to 88% of UV rays.

How Our Designers Bring It Together

Good design boils down to proportion, fabric, and fit.

Our designers bring samples to your home, because a sheer fabric behaves differently in morning light than it does under showroom fluorescents, and seeing it in your own room beats guessing from a swatch every time.

Then our experts install it. With sheers, the details are vane alignment across a bank of windows and headrails set true across adjacent openings — get those wrong and the eye catches it every time you walk into the room.

See Them in Your Own Light

Bedroom, condo, or a waterfront wall of glass, sheer shades give you the view and the privacy on the same window.
