Instead of solid materials, like blinds and shutters, shades utilize fabric construction that brings softness and movement to a room. Shades are available in several styles, and the Potomac Paint & Design Centers team is here to share the must-have details for the different types you can choose from.
Types of Shades
Sheer Shades
Sheer shades are delicate and lightweight while simultaneously offering substantial privacy and UV protection. They're an excellent window covering solution for spaces where you want to enjoy the sunlight without sacrificing privacy.
●Silhouette® Sheer Shades feature adjustable fabric vanes between two fabric panels to offer the most daytime privacy.
●Pirouette® Sheer Shades are similar to Silhouette® Sheer Shades but have a single sheer panel, which gives them a sleek, minimalist aesthetic.
●Luminette® Sheer Panels allow you to enjoy sheer shades on sliding glass doors and oversized windows.
Roller Shades
Roller shades are a practical, functional choice. They have a slim profile with clean lines and offer simple, straightforward operation.

Windows are responsible for a substantial portion of your energy costs, and cellular shades provide insulation at the window to make your home more energy efficient.
