Why Choose Brooklyn Sheer Drapery?
Features of Sheer Drapery
Light control and Privacy
Sheer curtains are made of a lightweight, semi-translucent fabric that allows natural light in while still softening it. They can also help diffuse sunlight and reduce glare. Sheer curtains can provide some privacy from the outside world and create a soft, outdoorsy feeling.
Softness and Movement
Add texture, softness, and movement to your room by letting the sheer curtains hang freely, while the heavier drapes can be tied back or left to drape naturally. You can hang a second layer of curtains, such as blackout curtains, behind the sheer curtains to provide privacy.
Protection
Insects don't tend to fly into windows with sheer curtains because they see them as a barrier. It can protect a room from outside dust and dirt. They can provide some level of filtration, but they may not be as effective at blocking dust as thicker, more opaque curtains.

FAQs
For pleated curtains, we will suggest the curtain width is 1x of the curtain rod/track, measuring the length from the eyelet ring where the curtain hooks are attached.
For pleated curtains, the panel width is the width that pleats are already set. 1.8X-2.2X fabric usage in default to create pleats and folds. And panel width is from the left pleat end to the right pleat end, instead of the left curtain side hem to the right curtain side hem.
For pleats are permanently sewn to make, we normally make them in 180-220% fullness. For example, if rod or track length is 100 inches, you may order 2 panels each 50 inches width for pinch pleated, tailor pleated header style. You could also order more width if you prefer more fullness.
Normally stacking width accounts for 20% of the ordered width. So we would like to remind you that if you want the window opening to show completely when the drapery is opened, please make sure to consider stacking width when you decide on rod length.
The order comes with plastic adjustable pin hooks (for pinch pleat and tailor pleat). Plastic adjustable pin hooks allow you to adjust curtain length within 3 inches. You still need to purchase rod rings separately.
Pleats pin hooks quantity: 10 pleats for 50" width; 13 pleats for 72" width; 15 pleats for 84" width; 19 pleats for 100" width; 21 pleats for 110" width, 23 pleats for 120" width, 27 for 150" width. The width and space of the pleats may vary slightly depending on your track or pole length.
For pleated header styles, like pinch pleat, tailor pleat, inverted pleated box, goblet, and tape pleat, if the curtain finished length is over 108 inches, then the max finished curtain width without seam is 56 inches; if the curtain length is less than 108 inches, no seam for any curtain finished width. Otherwise, the width needs to be double-wide with a vertical seam.
For pleated header styles, like triple pleat and triple tailor pleat, if the curtain finished length is over 108 inches, then the max finished curtain width without seam is 50 inches; if the curtain length is less than 108 inches, no seam for any curtain finished width. Otherwise, the width needs to be double-wide with a vertical seam.
Neutral Theme
Less is more. In the context of interior design, neutral means without color. Neutrals such as beige, ivory, taupe, black, gray, and shades of white appear to be without color. but in many applications these hues often have undertones. Be aware of these underlying tones as you match colors. Neutral colors are muted shades that appear to lack color but often have underlying hues that change with different lighting. To some extent, blacks, browns, tans, golds, and beige are considered warm. Cooler colors, on the other hand, are white, ivory, silver, and gray.
