Polyester voile, linen voile, embroidered sheer, and lace. The styling layer that makes a window feel finished. Free in-home measurement.
A sheer is a thin, semi-transparent fabric that softens daylight without blocking it. It makes a window feel layered and considered.
A sheer curtain is a thin, semi-transparent fabric, typically a fine polyester voile, linen voile, or lace, that lets daylight pass through while softening it. You can see the texture of the fabric clearly in light. From outside in daylight, the sheer breaks up the line of sight enough to feel private. From outside at night with the lights on inside, you can see in.
Sheers are a styling layer first and a functional layer second. The most common Singapore use is as the front layer of a sheer-and-blackout pair in a bedroom, where you draw the sheer during the day for a soft daylit feel and pull the blackout at night.
Here are some of the use cases of Sheer / Lace Curtains and its benefits for home owners.
Condo units above the 10th floor and landed homes with a setback from the street use sheers alone for the soft, layered daylight look. Privacy at night is handled by interior lighting, not the curtain.
The most common Singapore configuration: sheer in front, blackout behind, both on a double track. You get the soft layered look during the day and full dark at night.
Hotel rooms, serviced apartments, and showrooms use sheers for the visual layer they add. Often paired with a blackout layer for guest control without losing the daytime softness.
Sheers in dining and study spaces add texture and layered light without committing to a heavier curtain. Pinch pleat for a structured look; S-fold for a softer, contemporary line.
What each does well, so you can pick without second-guessing.
Reach out and tell us what you need—rooms, property type, and roughly when you would like work done. We use this to understand scope and point you in the right direction. It is only a conversation; there is no obligation to proceed.
From your enquiry, we can provide an estimated price so you know the ballpark before you commit. It is a good-faith guide based on what you have shared; final pricing is confirmed after we have seen the site and the windows in person.
When you are ready, we arrange a measurement visit, finalise fabric and hardware with you, and reconfirm details before fabrication. Once everything is signed off, we supply and install to the agreed specification so you get a finished job that matches what we discussed.
Tell us the rooms, the property type, and roughly when you need it. We come back within the hour during working days. Free in-home measurement, no obligation.

Only if you don't mind morning light. Sheers do not block sun. Most Singapore bedrooms pair sheers with a blackout layer for sleep.
Yes, if your interior lights are on and the room behind the sheer is bright. Daytime privacy works because outside light is brighter than inside; at night the relationship reverses.
We recommend 2x to 2.5x the window width. Less than that and the sheer looks flat. The fabric cost difference is small relative to the finished look.
Typical lead time is 2 to 3 weeks for standard sheer fabrics. Embroidered or imported lace can add a week.
