See the fabric in light
A sheer's texture and color change entirely with the sun behind it. Hold samples up to your glass to see the true effect, rather than viewing them flat on a table.
Custom window coverings
Sheer curtains for softer daylight
Custom sheer curtains filter daylight for a soft, elegant glow. They diffuse harsh sun while keeping your view, crafted here in our Edmonton workroom to fit your window exactly.
Evening privacy needs a partner
Sheers become more transparent once indoor lights are on. We suggest pairing them with a secondary blackout roller or roman shade to maintain your comfort and privacy after dark.
Fullness adds rich texture
Adding more fabric creates deeper, more luxurious folds. Choose a header style that balances your desired look with how the curtains stack away when open to keep your view clear.
Planning details
Make the daylight layer useful
Sheers soften glare while keeping your home connected to the outdoors. We help you pick textiles and hardware that match your lifestyle, ensuring they stay beautiful in high-use areas.
- 01
Check light in every season
Evaluate your fabrics during sunny afternoons and after sunset. If a material feels too open or heavy for your needs, we will help you find a better balance.
- 02
Layer for smooth movement
A layered system works best when each piece moves easily. We plan the track placement so your curtains clear handles and vents, ensuring everything functions and looks balanced.
- 03
Choose fabrics for your life

These engineered coverings feature built-in vanes for adjustable light control. They provide a precise, tailored appearance if you prefer a structured look over the loose folds of soft drapery.

The perfect window treatment ensemble
Successful projects require balancing hardware, track placement, and how the panel stacks. We coordinate these details to ensure your curtains function exactly as you need them to.
Look beyond the glass width
We consider the full window frame and surrounding wall space. Hardware often extends outward to allow full stacking, ensuring your window feels larger and your view remains unobstructed.

Local Craftsmanship

Frequently asked
Can people see through sheers at night?
Visibility increases once your interior lights are on. We suggest pairing your sheer panels with an opaque layer like a Roman shade to ensure full privacy when the sun goes down.
Are linen sheers always washable?
Washability depends on the fabric, lining, and construction. We provide specific care instructions for your curtains. If you are unsure, ask us about professional methods to keep them safe.
Do white sheers filter light identically?
No, weave and yarn thickness change how light interacts with the fabric. Always hold your samples up to the glass to see how they look in your room's unique light.
Can I motorize only the sheer?
Yes, we can motorize your sheer layer while keeping your secondary panel manual. This gives you effortless control over your light while retaining simple daily operation for your curtains.
Should curtains touch the floor?
Floor contact is a stylistic choice that also depends on your room's traffic. Touching the floor looks clean and intentional, but you may prefer a shorter length near busy doors.
How do I fix a snagged sheer?
Do not pull or cut snags. Take a photo of the area and reach out to us. We will help you determine the best way to restore your panel safely.
Do sheers provide insulation?
Sheers offer minimal insulation. If you need thermal protection, we recommend pairing them with a cellular shade or lined drapery for a cozy, energy-efficient solution on your windows.
How do I pick pleat styles?
Pleats change how fabric stacks and feels. Pinch pleats offer a formal, structured look, while ripplefold provides a modern wave. We will show you how each performs on your track.
