What they are

Sheer verticals for Ypsilanti patio doors and wide glass

Sheer vertical shades hang soft fabric vanes within a sheer outer layer. Turn the vanes open and daylight filters in softly; turn them closed for privacy; slide the shade aside and the door is clear.

In Ypsilanti, sheer verticals often go on the sliding doors in mid-century ranches and newer homes in the township, where a door leads from the kitchen or family room to a deck. They also suit condos with a slider to a balcony, and rear additions on older homes, where a wall of new glass was added to an old house. Compared with old vinyl vertical blinds, they look closer to drapery and are much quieter when the door opens and closes.

On city lots where backyards sit close together, sheer verticals let you keep the vanes partly closed during the day for privacy while the room stays bright. We bring fabric samples in a range of colors and opacities so you can see how much light each lets through at your own door.

Where sheer verticals work best

Wide openings where you want softness and an easy way through.

Sliding patio doors

Light control, privacy and style

What sheer vertical shades do for a room.

Diffused light

Sheer fabric softens daylight and takes the edge off glare.

Adjustable privacy

Rotate the vanes closed when you want more privacy.

UV protection

Fabric helps filter the sun that fades floors and furniture.

Quiet, soft look

No hard vanes knocking together when the door opens.

Operating options & care

Easy operation and gentle care

Sheer verticals are typically operated with a wand that both draws the shade and rotates the vanes, which keeps cords out of the way of a busy patio door. Motorized options are available on some products, which is convenient for very wide openings. We’ll show you the choices for your opening.

For care, dust or vacuum gently on low with a brush attachment, and spot clean with a damp cloth according to the fabric’s instructions. Because the vanes are fabric, avoid harsh cleaners or soaking.

  • Wand control for draw and tilt
  • Stack to one side or split center
  • Gentle dusting and spot cleaning

Sheer vertical questions

Common questions from Ypsilanti homeowners about sheer vertical shades.

Do sheer verticals suit the rear addition on my older Ypsilanti home?
Often, yes. Rear additions with sliders or wide glass are a good fit for sheer verticals, and their soft look blends well with the older rooms of the house. We measure the opening and recommend the best stack and draw.
Can sheer verticals cover the balcony door in my Ypsilanti condo?
Yes. Sheer verticals work well on condo sliders. If your association has guidelines about what shows from outside, check with them before you order.
How are sheer verticals different from vertical blinds?
Vertical blinds use separate vinyl or fabric vanes. Sheer verticals add a sheer fabric layer, so they filter light more softly, look more like drapery and are quieter when you open the door.
Can they open from the center?
Many sheer verticals can stack to one side or split in the center. We’ll recommend the best option for how you use the door.
How do I clean sheer vertical shades?
Dust or vacuum them gently with a brush attachment and spot clean with a damp cloth. Follow the care instructions for your fabric.
