Dream Curtain
48" – 192" (single track)
Vertical sheer panels that traverse a track the way drapery does, but with the light control of a layered shade. It is what we put on a patio door or a wall of glass when full-height drapery would be too heavy and a shade would look like an office.

Fabrics are chosen from the sample books at the estimate — we carry the full range to your house rather than asking you to pick from a screen.
How much daylight each fabric actually stops.
These are the figures we quote at the kitchen table. They shift a few points with the mount and the direction the window faces, which is why we measure before we promise.

Drag the slats. This is the range a dream curtain shade covers on a typical window — from 8% at its most open to 82% closed. Your actual number depends on the fabric, the mount and which way the window faces.

For openings a shade cannot cross
A single track runs to sixteen feet, which covers most patio doors and a lot of great-room glass in one piece. Because it traverses sideways instead of rolling up, nothing stacks across the top of the view — the whole opening is either covered or clear.
Which way it stacks matters
On a patio door the stack has to land where the door does not swing and where you do not walk. We decide the draw direction at the measure, standing in the room, because getting it wrong is the one thing you cannot fix afterwards without new hardware.

What people ask about dream curtain shades.
No. Vertical blinds are individual hard vanes that clack. This is a continuous sheer with fabric vanes suspended inside it, so it hangs and moves like a curtain and there is nothing to rattle when the door opens.
On a corner, yes — two tracks meeting at the return. A true curve needs a bent track and a longer lead time; we would quote that separately after the measure.
That is the main place we install it. We set the stack clear of the operating panel and leave enough clearance that you are not brushing the fabric on the way through.
