Who Sheer Roller Blinds Are For
Sheer roller blinds are perfect for living rooms, dining areas, kitchens, and open-plan spaces where you want natural light without the harshness of direct sun. They suit homeowners who enjoy their garden or street views during the day but want to prevent passers-by from seeing inside. Interior designers frequently specify sheer rollers for modern, minimalist spaces because the translucent fabric adds texture without visual weight. They are also popular in home offices where screen glare needs reducing without plunging the room into darkness. Renters love sheer rollers from Custom Blinds because they can be fitted with either a standard bracket or a no-drill tension clip, making them completely rental friendly with no wall damage.
How do sheer roller blinds work?
A sheer roller blind uses a single piece of translucent mesh polyester fabric wound around an aluminium tube mounted at the top of the window. You lower the blind using a beaded chain to cover the window, filtering incoming light into a soft diffused glow. The mesh weave allows you to see outward during the day while reducing visibility from outside. When fully retracted, the fabric rolls neatly around the headrail tube, leaving the window completely unobstructed. The blind mounts inside or outside the window recess using standard screw-in brackets or the optional no-drill tension clip.
What Makes Custom Blinds Different
With over 8,000 installations completed since 2010, Custom Blinds brings expert knowledge to every order. Each order undergoes a verification step by a blinds specialist before production, catching common measuring errors and ensuring a perfect fit.

A blind damaged in transit may qualify for a free replacement or remake. Custom Blinds supplies roller blinds from Somfy, Hunter Douglas, and Coulisse. Our Custom Lifestyle Shutters range is manufactured in Cape Town. This partnership model gives you access to world-class roller blind engineering without inflated pricing.
How much do sheer roller blinds cost, and how do you order?

Every order includes free nationwide delivery.
Fabrics and colours for sheer roller blinds
The sheer roller fabric is a translucent mesh polyester that softens incoming light while providing UV protection for your furniture and flooring. The weave is tight enough to reduce glare on screens but open enough to preserve your outward view. Available colours include classic whites, soft greys, warm linens, and contemporary charcoals. The fabric is low-maintenance and can be wiped clean with a damp cloth. It does not trap dust the way heavier curtain fabrics do, making it a practical choice for allergy-conscious homes.
Comparing Sheer Roller Blinds to Other Options
Sheer rollers provide light filtering rather than light blocking. If you need maximum room darkening for sleep, a blockout roller blind is the better choice. For ultimate flexibility, a duo roller system combines a sheer and a blockout roller on a single headrail, letting you switch between filtered light and maximum room darkening. Zebra blinds offer a similar day-night function with alternating sheer and opaque fabric bands. Honeycomb duotone blinds provide both sheer and blockout modes with added thermal insulation. If you are renting and cannot drill, the no-drill sheer roller blind uses a tension clip and starts from R610.
How to install sheer roller blinds
Sheer roller blinds install with a standard screw-in bracket or a no-drill tension clip. Bracket installation requires a drill and takes roughly 10 minutes per blind. The no-drill tension clip grips securely inside the window frame without making any holes -- ideal for renters, students, and anyone in a heritage property. A printable measuring guide is available on the website, and the Custom Blinds team checks every order before production to catch sizing errors. Online orders are self-install and ship nationwide. If you are on the Garden Route (Knysna, George, Plettenberg Bay, Sedgefield, Mossel Bay, or Wilderness) and require professional installation, email sales@customblinds.co.za before ordering to confirm availability.

Questions about sheer roller blinds
Can people see in through sheer blinds at night?
When lights are on inside at night, sheers do allow some visibility from outside. Many customers pair them with blockout blinds for complete privacy when needed.
Do sheer blinds protect furniture from fading?
Yes. They filter harmful UV rays while still letting in beautiful natural light -- ideal for protecting furniture, flooring, and artwork from sun damage.
Are sheer blinds easy to clean?
Very easy. A light dusting or gentle wipe with a damp cloth keeps them looking fresh. The fabric resists dust buildup.
Can sheer roller blinds be combined with blockout blinds?
Yes. The most popular pairing is a duo roller, which mounts a sheer and a blockout roller on a single headrail. Use the sheer for daytime filtered light and switch to the blockout for maximum room darkening at night -- all from one installation.
Are sheer roller blinds suitable for home offices?
Yes. Sheer rollers reduce screen glare without plunging the office into darkness. They filter UV rays that cause furniture and flooring to fade and maintain a professional, open feel. A popular choice for both home offices and commercial open-plan spaces.
Can sheer roller blinds be motorised?
Yes. Custom Blinds Shutters & Awnings offers Somfy and Motion motorisation on sheer roller blinds. Motorised sheers suit large windows and open-plan areas where manual operation is inconvenient. Contact our team on WhatsApp 076 022 8410 for pricing.
Why is a sheer colour missing or unavailable?
Use the current swatch list for this product rather than assuming a fabric shown on another blind is available here. An out-of-stock colour cannot be purchased; any expected return date is shown with its stock notice. Ask us about a missing colour by its exact name before choosing an alternative.
Can I see more colours before choosing?
The colour grid shows the options for this product. Use the magnifying-glass button to enlarge a swatch and compare its finish. Choose by the full colour name and code where shown, not just a general description such as grey or silver. Availability is shown on the swatches.
How should I measure the opening for these blinds?
For a recess fit, measure three widths and three drops; give us the smallest width and the longest drop. We deduct 10 mm from the width only (10 mm in total). Do not deduct anything yourself. For a face fix, add 100 mm on each side and 100 mm above and below. No deduction applies. Read the measuring guide before ordering.
Do these blinds come in standard sizes, and how do I get a price?
These blinds are made to your measurements rather than sold in fixed ready-made sizes. Choose a colour and enter the width and drop in millimetres in the configurator for the current price. The configurator checks the sizes supported by that product.
What's the best way to choose blinds for a whole house?
From a full sample book, not off-cuts. Custom Blinds Shutters & Awnings sends one on request with orders over R8,000. If nothing suits, you get a full refund with no fees.

Sheer roller blind review
Tiffiny Rae B. —
★★★★★
Thank you so much for my amazing roller blind. Originally I purchased a Venetian blind but it was not the right thing to block the sun. I have now changed over to a roller blind that is partially sheer and it is amazing.
