How They'll Help You

For a sleek, modern update to your home, shine your style spotlight on our 2-1/2” Room Darkening Sheers. The larger horizontal vanes widen your view to the outside while the translucent sheer shade housing them softly diffuses light when open. The painted aluminum headrail cassette comes with a color-coordinated fabric insert. Altogether, the final effect is an extra touch of elegance and a streamlined appearance for your home.

The large, modern and stylish vanes offer plenty of coverage when needed, and plenty of protection against harmful UV rays (up to 88%) even when open. Closed, they block up to 99% of UV rays. The neutral white backing conforms to HOA guidelines, so no worries there. And no professional installation needed. You'll be amazed at how easy they are to install.

The blinds are a great option for large windows in living rooms, bedrooms, and media rooms, for whenever you need darkness or privacy.

These room darkening window coverings let you easily adjust for just the right amount of incoming light you need. For a more seamless look and a cute accent, upgrade to our kid-friendly cordless lift. The kid-friendly lift is compliant with CPSC child safety guidelines. Motorized and automated lift options are also available. Using your Apple or Android smartphone, or via your Amazon or Google home automation device, enjoy full automation of your window coverings with The SelectConnect Bridge. Schedule when your blinds go up and down individually, in specified groups, or all together.

"I love the blinds. The process was so easy. My windows are a very odd shape, and I was concerned about handling the selection and ordering myself without someone coming out to the house to help. The measurement nd ordering process was simple. I was shocked at how quickly my custom shades were assembled and shipped to my door. Installation was a breeze - this was something else I was worried about. Make sure you have a good quality drill and drill bits. My installation process was harder because my drill bits were very low quality. Once I borrowed a friends drill, extremely simple process! And, I saved over $1000 buying from Select Blinds versus another, more full service company."
- Cris M., Connecticut

"Beautiful shades. I installed these in our master bedroom and bath. Gives us the privacy needed without eliminating light. Great construction and value. I am using select blinds for every window in our home."
- Kendra D., Hamilton, MT

Deductions may vary +/- 1/8". Do not account for factory deductions when measuring for your shade.

Fabric slats on the shade are 100% polyester.

Headrails and cassettes are color coordinated with a coordinated fabric insert.

For all mounting types, fabric will measure exactly the length ordered when the vanes are in the closed position. When the vanes are rotated open, the shade will become slightly longer.

The inherent nature of the dual fabrics used to make this product prevent complete light blockage when the vanes are closed. You will notice an increase in light between the sheer front and the back fabric toward the bottom of the shade.

This product is not intended to block out 100% of the light. Small gaps between the fabric slats may still allow for some incoming light.

The safety device is required by law and must be applied on chain loops and prevents free-hanging loops in operating chains. Install the safety device at the maximum distance possible from the control mechanism to prevent slack in the loop.

We purchased this motorized blind for our sliding door after the decade+ old one broke. Select Blinds did not disappoint as usual. All our blinds are from Select Blinds. Great quality, easy install, and amazing appearance. We recommend to all our family and friends when they ask.

We have these shades in our dining room, office, and now our master bedroom and we couldn't be happier with them. I really love that they provide sheer coverage even when open, and that there is also the option of pulling them completely up. They add a more sophisticated look than just regular blinds.

This is our sending time ordering from Select Blinds. We were looking for a refresh. We had always purchased Hunter Douglas in the past. We were looking for the same quality for less and we found it! Will be ordering more for the rest of our house.
