Custom Sheer & Layered Shades offer UV Protection

Looking for beautiful, modern, sleek shades? How about shades that also provide UV protection? Living in Los Angeles, UV protection is a wonderful addition to our home’s windows. After all – UV rays don’t just damage things outdoors. Direct sunlight can bleach floors, weaken fibers in rugs or furniture, and still cause harm to our skin, even through our windows.

Both sheer and layered shades offer upwards of 90% protection from both UVA and UVB rays while also gently filtering light and looking beautiful.

If you love the look of blinds but the softness of fabric, you’re in the right place! Learn more about our sheer and layered shades, or schedule your in-home complimentary design consultation with us to get started. We’ll help you create the perfect shades for your home, manufacture and install them for you, so you can sit back and relax.

Sheer Overture Shades

Clean and modern “soft blinds” describe modern sheer shades. They have a similar look to blinds, but they’re made from two layers of fabric. Sheer material is woven as one continuous piece of fabric that closes to block light. When you want filtered, softened light you can open vanes in a variety of sizes to allow light through the transparent and UV filtering fabric.

Like other shades, you can also choose to fully open or close your sheer shades! Combine the gentle fabric attributes of fabric shades with the light control and functionality of blinds. They come in many beautiful textures, colors, and patterns so you can choose your favorite style for your home easily.

Layered Mezzanine Zebra Shades

Layered, Mezzanine, Zebra… whatever you call these shades, they are stunning. Clean, sleek lines can create great visual appeal in your room, no matter your style.

Like sheer shades, they have a layer of transparent fabric and a layer of more opaque fabric, but as alternating bands. The opacity is up to you!

When operated, you can alternate the sheer and opaque bands to allow in gently filtered light. Or, line up opaque bands to block light and grant privacy. They’re available in a wide variety of exclusive prints, patterns, and textures for a modern feel and gorgeous end result. We also ensure the bands are lined up if you put them on side-by-side windows for a consistent look throughout your home.

Of course, you can also motorize the shades and fully open them where they disappear into their headrail. No blocked views, just beautiful window coverings!

Motorization

Our sheer and layered shades can also be motorized and effortlessly controlled via Somfy, which works with Alexa and Google Assistant through “if this then that” tech (IFTTT). Additionally, this technology can be integrated with other home automation platforms and can be controlled through the app, even when you aren’t home.

What’s more, these window treatments don’t require a cord, making them a smart choice for homeowners with small children or pets, as a cord is a strangulation hazard.

With motorized window treatments, you can easily control the window treatments on difficult-to-reach windows.

"From scheduling our appointment to meeting with our designer, Bernadette, and the installer, Alfredo, we were met with professionalism and comforted in knowing we were dealing with people who knew what they were doing. Arrival times were well within the two-hour window. Bernadette shared her knowledge and expertise to help us choose the window treatments that best fit our needs and budget. We are so pleased with the final result and look forward to covering the rest of the window in our home."

"My wife and I recently moved and were in the market for new shades for our bathroom , living room and kitchen . We didn't really have a set vision so it was unbelievable when our designer Karen went through all the possibilities and showed us what would work well with the setup . Karen was not only very professional , she was personable and super knowledgeable about the products. I wish I could have her design the rest of our house ! Great product , great designer, great experience!"

"I would like to say that Galaxy Draperies was the best choice we've made. We recently purchased a new home and wanted to thank Bernadette for the amazing service she provided. I was referred to her by my sister, which also happened to purchase through you guys. Not only did Bernadette make me feel comfortable but it felt like I was working with family."

"Ordered Roman Shades for five windows. Designer who came to our home was nice and professional, Roman Shades arrived on time, the installation was handled by their installer who called and asked if he could come by earlier than our appointment, which was great. He was friendly, professional and did a great job! Highly recommend this company."

"I just used Galaxy Draperies. I had a very heavy window covering which was mostly impossible to use. We looked at options and Galaxy Draperies suggested we use a motorized window covering. The material is beautiful and it's made so well. You can't see through from outside in yet you can see outside from inside the house. It works so quietly and solved all my problems. The wonderful lady who came to our house was great and always returned calls and did a wonderful job. I highly recommend them."
