Luminette® Privacy Sheers in Halifax
What Are Luminette® Privacy Sheers?
Luminette® Privacy Sheers are a vertical shade product, made up of sheer fabrics with solid vanes, designed to offer an incredible range of light control and privacy for Halifax area homes.
How Do Luminette® Shades Work?
The interior vanes of Luminette® can rotate, allowing for full view-through and filtered light in one position, to completely closed for privacy and room darkening in another. The sheer fabrics are attached at the top—to a specialty track—with the fabrics forming rounded curves. Those curves are consistently maintained when opened or closed. The track allows the sheer fabrics to glide smoothly, providing simple access to the outdoors.
Ideal for Large Windows and Patio Doors
Designed to cover the largest windows and sliding doors of Halifax area homes, the Luminette® collection offers enhanced landscape views and softened natural light while providing convenient access to the outdoors. For large expanses of glass, sheer vertical shades are a great solution. They diffuse direct light and glare, and even offer protection from damaging UV rays.
Light Control, Privacy & Soft Sheers
The rotating interior vanes of Hunter Douglas Luminette® can adjust 180 degrees—capable of taking your space from light-filtering view-through to room darkening privacy with a full rotation. The soft sheer fabrics appear similar to ripple fold drapery, covering the windows and doors with rounded curves of fabric.
Luminette® vs. Vertical Blinds
Both Luminette® and vertical blinds are both an excellent option when choosing window treatments for sliding glass doors and large windows. But there are some key distinctions between the two. When covering the window fully, both have rotating slats or vanes that adjust in place to either let in light, or close for privacy and light control. However, vertical blinds allow direct light and glare to enter, while Luminette® always has sheer fabrics in place to diffuse light and glare. The appearance of the two differs, as Luminette® Privacy Sheers offer the look of sheer draperies, while vertical blinds feature solid slats of fabric, vinyl or wood—a tradition they have been known for. Both are designed to coordinate with your home’s styling.
