Although blinds are still hugely popular with our Ballarat customers, we are seeing a resurgence in curtains and sheers, but not simply the old fashioned lace and frills we grew up with. Our curtains and sheers come in a huge range of colours, fabrics and styles which can provide elegance and sophistication in any home or office.
What’s the Difference Between Curtains and Sheers?
Curtains are window coverings made of fabric panels that are usually sold in pairs. They can be used alone or with a blind. Curtains come in a range of light weight or heavier blockout fabrics and can be used in traditional homes or modern contemporary homes.
Sheers also known as Sheer Curtains are a very lightweight fabric that covers your window to provide some privacy and natural lighting. They can be used alone, or with blinds or curtains to create a beautiful addition to any room. Sheers many years ago were popular as white lacy additions, but we are fortunate now to have a huge range of colours, patterns and textures available to suit any decor.
What are the Main Benefits of Curtains and Sheers?
Curtains and sheers can add style and glamour to your home or office with our many choices of bold colours and patterns, or if you’re looking for a minimalistic style then we also have neutral plain colours available. Our experienced team can assist you with the particular look and feel you’re after.
1. Privacy
Sheers and curtains are a fantastic way to maintain daytime privacy, especially when paired with blinds. Even when your blind is open, sheers and lightweight curtains can be closed at all times allowing you to see your beautiful view, while blocking a passer-by from directly seeing in.
2. Light Filtering
Curtains and sheers have wonderful light filtering properties which is perfect for Ballarat’s sunny days. The sun can heat up your home, but can also can fade your paint, carpet and furnishings, so sheers and curtains provide that extra amount of shade to help keep your home cooler and reduce the UV rays entering your home, or place of work. Sheers also work really well in sitting rooms or offices, where you need light to read and work, but don’t want to close a blind.
3. Insulation
Whether Ballarat is experiencing a beautiful sunny day, or one of our colder Winter days, our heavy duty curtain fabrics provide a blockout solution, which increases warmth in your home and office in Winter and helps keep your room cooler in Summer. Not only is this a very practical way of living, but it also can save you money due to increased energy efficiency.
4. Versatile
We have mentioned the vast array of colours, fabrics and styles we offer with sheers and curtains, but they are also very versatile in offering a hand, or cord, or motorised operation. They can also be integrated with your home or office automation system, or set up via voice control through Google, Apple or Alexa.
5. Australian Made/Custom Made
Knowing that all our products are Australian Made not only provides local jobs and supports our economy, but you can be reassured that you are receiving high quality products. Our sheers and curtains are also made to measure, so all window sizes are available to suit any style and we also work closely with you to meet your budget needs.
