A sheer or sunscreen roller blind is designed to provide shade while allowing some light to pass through, maintaining visibility and reducing glare. The fabric of these blinds typically features a weave structure that filters sunlight, blocking harmful UV rays and heat. This helps in maintaining a cooler indoor environment and protecting furniture from sun damage.
The way light interacts with the fabric determines visibility. When it’s brighter outside than inside, the fabric’s weave reflects and scatters the sunlight, making it difficult to see through from the outside, thus ensuring privacy. However, from the inside, you can still see out clearly because the light source (sun) is more intense outside. Conversely, when it’s darker outside and brighter inside, the roles reverse. The inside light is stronger, making it easier for outsiders to see in, while the view from inside becomes less clear. This characteristic makes sunscreen roller blinds particularly effective for daytime privacy without completely sacrificing outdoor views.
A sheer fabric is made from 100% polyester and gives a softer, more homely finish to the window. They are also the ideal solution when layering the window with other window dressings for example curtains or roman blinds.
Our sunscreen fabrics are a more technical fabric and are made from a fibre glass and PVC mesh. These come in a range of openness levels ranging from 1% to 5%. This refers to how much light they will allow through the fabric making them an ideal stand alone window dressing for offices, TV rooms or anywhere you might want this additional heat and light control.

I was surprised how heavy the blind was - it is probably very good for somewhere other than a home as it has metal ends which may suit many places - but I was hoping for something white and more discreet - I’m sure it’s very well made and built to last

Purchased 4 pull down blinds for my patio door recently. After a couple of months the blind became very hard to rool up and I could see the edge was creased and not winding up very well. I contacted Order Blinds and wasn't sure because of the time lapse that they would do anything? But they were amazing. No quibble and asked me to re measure and submit measurements to them and they sent me a new cassette free delivery as well. Such a lovely gesture great customer service!! Will definitely use them again!! The blinds themselves are 1st class too!!!

Excellent product, easy to install and better result than expected! There were some concerns about the blinds potentially molding but there's a good gap between the material and window glass so I don't think we'll have any issues.
