Do these 1% shades provide similar privacy as frosted glass windows? I'm looking for shades for garage windows that let some light in but obscure the view enough to make it hard to identify items inside at night. Thanks.
Asked by Brian ·
Hi Larry! This would provide the tightest weave for the solar shades which is hardest to see through however if up close you might be able to see in if you are looking into the darker colors especially. We would recommend ordering the free samples so that you can see the fabric firsthand.

I have a palladium window in my two story foyer which faces East. The sun shines through and goes directly to my thermostat! I had a solar film but it still heats up the thermostat. What is the best motorized shade to use to keep the sun off my thermostat every morning?
Asked by Beverly B ·
Hi Beverly! We do not carry anything for the palladium windows at this time, I'm sorry about that.

I have one window that measures 14 3/4 inches width inside mount. I see that you start at 15 inches. If I ordered a 15 inch width would it fit? I would be ordering the outdoor solar shades for my screened in porch. They need to need mounted inside the screened in area. I know you make them a little less than the width ordered but I not sure if it is a 1/4 inch shorter in width adjustment to give wiggle room to mount.
Asked by Clare G ·
Hi Clare! The inside mount allowances tip to tip are very minimal so this is not advised of at all. We would recommend ordering for an outside mount with this product or going with another product selection that may work. If you need further assistance please call us at your convenience.

These shades would be for windows that are high up on a wall, facing afternoon sun. I want the glare of the sun blocked as the TV is hung on the wall below the windows. In the afternoon the sun needs to be blocked. But u still want to be able to have the windows feel open. What percentage would you recommend?

Can multiple solar shades be controlled from one remote (motorized shades)? Is there a timer function for the motorized shades?
Asked by Karen V ·
Hi KV! You can operate up to 15 channels per remote and we do not have a timer feature at this time, I'm very sorry about that.

Can I see examples of 3%,, 5% and 10% solar shades. Im having difficulty deciding which to purchase. Application is west facing large windows looking at water
Asked by Neil ·
Hi Neil, west facing windows do get a lot of sunlight in the evening. The lower the percentage, the more UV rays are blocked. Hopefully this helps your decision.

I live in SW Florida and the sunsets directly into the back of my home. I looking for something to help keep my enclosed lanai cooler during sunset. I would love to be able to see the beautiful palm trees, lemons, mangos and other Florida plants. Does the openness and the color of the solar blinds affect the the cooling effect of these shades? I hate living in Florida and walking into a dark room during the day. Most of my friends have black out shades during the day and sunset. Their homes are so dark. They tell me this cuts their air conditioning bill during the summer months.

Is the white more of a light gray white than a pure white?
Asked by Kao H ·
Hi Zong, white is a stark white, it does look off in the swatch image however due to digital imaging.

Can you tell me the difference between the deluxe and premium? When I entered my measurements there was only a $3 cost difference. I get the colors and length options differ. If none of these factor's matter what do you recommend?
Asked by Lindsay ·
Hi Lindsay, on these products the Premium and Deluxe are made out of different solar shade materials and the Premium is certified for sensitive environments like hospitals and schools. I hope this will help more in your decision.

Do these block view from looking in?
Asked by Prescott S ·
Hi Prescott, no these do not, we do not have any shades where you can see out but others cannot see in.
