What Are Veri Shade Blinds?

A Veri Shade is an innovative window covering that combines the elegance of Sheer Curtains with the practicality of Blinds.

Designed to look like a Sheer Curtain, they are made up of individual fabric vanes that curve when attached to the track. This creates the soft, flowing appearance of a Curtain while allowing you to walk through them freely without needing to open them.

Unlike traditional Vertical Blinds and Curtains, our Veri Shades Blinds offer a hybrid Curtain-Blind solution — bringing the softness, style, and light-diffusing qualities of Sheer Curtains together with the flexibility, functionality and privacy of Blinds. They’re perfect for creating a stylish, modern look with easy operation and practical everyday use.

How Do Veri Shades Work?

Veri Shades are made from soft fabric with alternating opaque folds. With the turn of a wand, you can easily adjust them to control and adjust light levels depending on the position of the sun – and all on a single track.

Turn the wand one way, and the opaque fabrics provide privacy and light blocking. Turn the wand the other way, and the mesh fabric lets more light through. Open the folds halfway for filtered light, or draw your Veri Shades right back like Curtains for full sunlight.

Installation + Maintenance.

When you order locally made Veri Shades from dollar curtains + blinds, they will be professionally installed by our team, taking away the stress of doing it yourself and ensuring precision.

Once a Veri Shade has been professionally installed, learning how to clean Veri Shades and maintain them is easy. Simply dust them lightly with a feather duster, gently brush, or wipe with a soft sponge and mild soapy water.

To remove creases, fabrics can be carefully hand washed, steamed, or ironed on a low setting. Always test a small area first and avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.

FAQs.

Are Veri Shade Blinds Better Than Vertical Blinds?

Neither Blind is “better” than the other. It comes down to your budget and what you want in terms of aesthetics, and functionality. Veri Shade Blinds combine the functionality of a classic Vertical Blind with the contemporary features of a Sheer Curtain. Unlike Vertical Blinds, they combine an opaque and sheer fabric within the one Blind.

Are Veri Shades Child-Safe?

Yes, Veri Shades are child-safe because they are cord-free and chain-free, which gets rid of the risk of entanglement. A wand is used to adjust the alternating sheer and opaque fabric panels, making them a secure option for families with children and pets.

Do Veri Shades Blinds Block Light?

They do help block out sunlight, but not completely like a Blockout Roller Blind. They help darken a room, but we suggest pairing them with a Blockout Roller Blind for optimal privacy and light blockout if this is what you require.

Can Veri Shades Be Used on Sliding Doors?

Yes, Veri Shade Blinds are ideal for sliding doors because they are specifically designed to function seamlessly on large openings and in high-traffic areas.
