The Absolute Voile is a genuine see-through sheer at 96 GSM — lightweight, translucent, and airy. The Matte is a light filtering fabric made from 100% Polyester Filament with a flat, sheenless finish — it diffuses light and obscures the view more effectively than a voile without being a blockout. The Matte is physically heavier, more private, and delivers a noticeably different light quality: softer, more even, with no surface glare from the fabric. Both are in the Serene Sheers collection, but they serve different roles. The Absolute Voile is a true sheer layer; the Matte is a standalone light-filtering curtain.
