Vertical sheer window treatments offer an elegant upgrade from vertical blinds for sliding glass doors or wide windows. The pricing of these shadings can vary depending on the brand and fabric options chosen. This short article will give the approximate costs for vertical sheer shadings, and then summarize a few of the operational and stylistic options available.
What Are Vertical Sheer Shades?
These soft window shadings are used in similar applications as curtains. The soft vanes can be tilted open or shut for view or privacy, or you can open them fully for unfiltered light and unobstructed scenery. They are a sleek, contemporary alternative to drapery, also offering more view with a low profile stack.
How Much Will I Spend?
The brands we have selected provide the Upstate of South Carolina with beautiful treatments for sliding doors and large windows. The prices below are based on the fabrics available, with blackout and room darkening fabrics being more expensive than the basic light filtering options.

How Can I Customize My Vertical Sheer Shades?
Fabric: All fabric types will retain view-through abilities when tilted open, due to the sheer vanes connecting the panels. When tilted closed, your fabric choice can either darken the room significantly, or allow a soft, warm glow to be diffused throughout your space. While Alta and Hunter Douglas price their room-darkening options in their standard price charts, Norman adds a 20% surcharge to the base price of the shade.
Stack: Your stacking options include stacking your shades off to one side, gathering them in the center, or splitting them to stack on both sides of the glass. While Alta and Norman do not charge extra depending on your stacking preference, Hunter Douglas does charge $230 extra for their split-stack option.
Motorization: Vertical sheers are not typically motorized, but Hunter Douglas offers PowerViewR Automation for $650 per sheer.
These shades provide many more options than a typical window blind, and add a clean and elegant feel to your space. As you continue looking into the options and varieties available, we hope that this post will aid in basic pricing considerations.
