Sheers and Curtains, Layered for Light and Privacy
Custom sheers and main curtains measured for your windows, selected together and fitted as one coordinated window treatment.
Prices and What Is Included
For a layered window, budget for the main curtain and sheer as separate items. Both ranges include fabric, stitching and installation; a double rod or track is quoted separately.
| Treatment | Price per metre |
|---|---|
| Curtains | KSh 1,800–2,500Fabric, stitching and installation included |
| Sheers | KSh 1,100–1,800Fabric, stitching and installation included |
The price within each range depends on your chosen fabric. Curtains and sheers are priced separately. Rods and tracks are quoted separately.
The total depends on the approved quantity for each layer, not simply the number of windows. Share your location, approximate window sizes and photos so we can confirm the fabric, quantities and hardware in an itemised quotation.

Choose the Right Window Treatment
Custom sheers and main curtains measured for your windows, selected together and fitted as one coordinated window treatment.
Sheer Curtains
Filter direct daylight and soften the room while keeping the window visually light.
Layered Curtains
Combine sheers with decorative or lined curtains so each layer can move independently.
Blackout Options
Add suitable lining where bedrooms or media rooms need stronger light reduction.
Double Rods & Tracks
Choose hardware that carries both layers and works with the selected heading.
A Better Layer for Every Time of Day
Sheers help manage daylight during the day. The main curtain provides stronger evening privacy, colour and texture. We plan the fabric, heading, fullness and hardware together so the two layers hang and operate correctly.
Measurements, fabric or material, heading, hardware and installation should be confirmed together before the order is finalised.
Discuss Your WindowsWhat Each Layer Actually Does
A sheer and a main curtain solve different problems. Treating them as one system gives better control from morning to night.
Choosing sheer openness and colour
A very open weave preserves more view and airflow but gives less screening. A denser sheer softens glare and provides stronger daytime privacy, although it also reduces more daylight. White and warm-white sheers tend to disappear into the window; oatmeal, grey or textured sheers create more visible depth. View samples against the actual daylight because the same fabric can look cool in a shaded room and warm in direct sun.
Planning the two layers
Both layers need their own moving channel, normally a double rod or double track. The front projection must allow the main curtain to pass the sheer without dragging. Fullness, heading and finished drop can differ between layers, but the folds should still look intentional together. Confirm the combined weight, bracket spacing, centre overlap, stack-back and whether the main curtain needs lining before selecting hardware.
What We Confirm Before the Order
A reliable specification connects the window dimensions with the way the room is used. We confirm the finished coverage, chosen material, operating method and installation conditions before production or fitting begins.
Finished Size and Coverage
We measure the intended treatment position, not only the glass. Width, drop, overlap, stack-back space, floor clearance and nearby handles or furniture all affect the finished size.
Daytime light control
Sheers help manage daylight during the day. The main curtain provides stronger evening privacy, colour and texture. We plan the fabric, heading, fullness and hardware together so the two layers hang and operate correctly. The selection is checked against daylight, privacy, cleaning and how often the treatment will be opened.
Material, Heading and Hardware
Fabric weight, lining, fullness and heading must work with the rod or track. Confirming them together helps the treatment hang evenly, move freely and remain supported across the full span.
Clear Scope and Quotation
The quotation should identify the selected curtain and sheer fabrics, quantities, headings and any lining. Fabric, stitching and installation are included in the stated curtain and sheer ranges. Rods and tracks are quoted separately; any other agreed items should be clearly identified before approval.
Plan the Details That Change the Result
A strong choice should work when it is open, closed and used every day—not only when viewed as a fabric sample.
Start With the Main Requirement
Decide whether daytime light control, flexible privacy or coordinated fabrics matters most. Naming the priority first prevents a decorative choice from creating a practical problem later.
Check the Treatment in Both Positions
Consider the window when the treatment is closed and where the fabric, panels or blind will sit when open. Stack-back, projections, centre joins and side coverage affect views, daylight and access to handles.
Plan for Daily Operation
Think about who will use the treatment, how often it moves and how it will be cleaned. High or wide openings, heavy lined curtains and busy work areas may need different controls or hardware from a lightly used room.
Review the Complete Window Schedule
List every opening separately, even when several windows look similar. Record the location, finished width, drop, treatment type, material or fabric, colour, heading, lining, rod or track and installation notes. Repeated sizes can then be grouped, while unusual corners, doors or high windows remain visible in the scope.
Review samples in the room where possible because daylight, wall colour and artificial light can change how a material appears. Confirm which party supplies each item, whether old hardware must be removed, what surface preparation is included and how the finished treatment will be checked at handover. The approved schedule should agree with the quotation before fabrication begins.
Measured, Planned and Fitted
A clear process from the first enquiry to the finished installation.
Discuss the Room
Tell us the room, location, privacy needs and preferred look.
Measure the Window
We confirm the hardware width, drop, stacking space and fixing position.
Choose the Layers
Compare sheer transparency, main fabric, lining, heading and colour.
Make and Install
The selected fabrics are made to measure, hung and checked on site.

Details That Support a Better Finish
Measured as a System
Both layers are planned from the same finished hardware dimensions.
Practical Fabric Advice
Selections consider daylight, privacy, cleaning and the room’s finishes.
Compatible Hardware
The rod or track is matched to the layers, heading and fabric weight.
Site Details Matter
For Nairobi projects, a site visit can confirm dimensions, fixing surfaces, access and installation conditions. Projects elsewhere in Kenya can be discussed according to location and scope. Share the town or neighbourhood, number of windows, room type, approximate measurements and clear photos when requesting a quotation.
Photos help identify likely options, but final production dimensions should come from the agreed measurement method. Where access, ceiling height, removal of existing hardware or surface preparation affects fitting, those items should appear in the scope before work starts.
Frequently Asked Questions
How much do curtains and sheers cost?
Curtains cost KSh 1,800–2,500 per metre depending on fabric, including fabric, stitching and installation. Sheers cost KSh 1,100–1,800 per metre, also including fabric, stitching and installation, and are quoted separately from the main curtains. Rods and tracks are also quoted separately. Your total depends on the selected fabric and the quantity required for your windows.
Do sheers give privacy at night?
Sheers mainly provide daytime screening. When the room is brighter than outside, visibility can increase, so a main curtain or blind is normally needed for evening privacy.
Can sheers and curtains use one rod?
Independent layers generally require a double rod or double track. The exact option depends on the heading, weight and fixing position.
How full should sheers be?
A lighter starting point is around 1.5 times the finished width, while 2 times produces fuller folds. Fabric and heading can change the final quantity.
Can blackout lining be added?
Yes, where the face fabric and design allow it. Light entering at the top and sides must also be considered.
How do I get a quote?
Share your location, number of windows, approximate dimensions and photos on WhatsApp, then arrange measurement where required.
