Sheer curtains in Dubai, made to your window
A sheer is a light, open weave hung against the glass. It does not stop the sun so much as spread it: the hard edge of the light goes, the room stays bright, and you can still see out.
In daylight it does the privacy work too, because it is brighter outside than in. After dark that flips — with your lamps on, a sheer on its own shows more than most people expect. Which is why here it is usually the front half of a pair rather than the whole answer.

The fabric range travels, so you hold a voile or a linen sheer against your own window and see what it does to the light.
Cut to the drop
A sheer shows its hem more than a heavy curtain does, so the drop is measured at both ends of the track. Older villas are rarely square.
Made and fitted by us
We make what we fit, and we handle the track, the alterations and the washing later on.
Voile, linen, and the difference between them
Voile is a fine, flat, usually synthetic weave. It hangs light, comes in the widest range of colours, and washes and dries without much thought — which is the practical argument for it in a dusty city.
A linen sheer is coarser and slubbed, so the weave itself is part of the look. It filters the light with some texture rather than evenly, hangs heavier, and takes up moisture, so a linen drop settles a little in its first weeks.
Blended weaves sit between the two. What decides it, more than anything printed on a label, is holding both up at your own window in the afternoon. An open weave that looks crisp in a sample book can read almost white against strong glass.

Someone brings the sheer range to your home or office, so you can see each weave against your own light.
Sheers in an office
Office glazing is usually wide, floor to ceiling, and full of glare by mid-afternoon. A sheer takes the hard edge off it without darkening the floor plate or hiding the view, which is why it tends to be the layer that goes in first.
Screens are the other reason. Direct sun on a monitor is unusable and a solid blind means working with the lights on, so a sheer against the glass with something heavier available for the worst hours covers both.
Wide runs raise the same two questions as at home: where the fabric stacks when it is open, and what the track can fix into above the glass. Both get measured before anything is quoted.
Sheer curtain styles
Dust, washing and the double track
A sheer is the layer that catches the dust, and that is a feature rather than a fault: it comes down and washes far more easily than a lined pair does. Most sheers go back up slightly damp, which drops the creases out under their own weight.
For that to stay easy, the track matters. A double track carries the sheer on the back rail and the heavier curtain on the front, so either can come down on its own. Adding a second rail later is possible, but rarely as tidy as doing it once.
If blinds are going up alongside the sheers in the same room, we make those too — roman, duplex, venetian and bamboo among them.
One layer, or two?
