Choosing solar shades for your rooms
Compare openness in your own light
Openness describes how open the fabric weave is. A tighter weave generally reduces more glare, while a more open weave preserves more of the view. Fabric color and the direction of the sunlight also affect what you see through the shade.
Compare samples at the window where glare is a problem. A desk facing the afternoon sun may need a different balance from a dining room where the view is the priority. Exact UV and heat-control figures depend on the selected fabric.
Make a separate plan for privacy at night
Solar fabric is not a substitute for nighttime privacy. When the room is brighter than outdoors, people outside may be able to see in. A separate room-darkening treatment can address that need.
A dual-shade arrangement may combine solar and privacy fabrics where the selected system and mounting depth allow it. We check the space for both treatments and review how you want to operate them.

Do solar shades block the view?
They filter the view rather than leaving it completely unchanged. Openness, color, and the difference between indoor and outdoor light affect visibility. Compare samples at your windows instead of selecting by openness alone.
Are solar shades the same as blackout shades?
No. Solar fabrics filter daylight and glare while allowing some view through the weave. For room darkening or nighttime privacy, compare a separate privacy fabric.
