what's the approximate openness percentage on the deluxe light filtering fabric roller shades??
Asked by Mary ·
Hi Mary, the Deluxe Light Filtering Fabric Roller Shades do not have an openness associated with them. You will not be able to see through this material like you can on the solar shades. They will however let light filter through the fabric. How much light will depend on the color you select. Lighter colors will let more light in while darker colors will let less light filter through.

I need samples of the varying blockage percentage, not just colors - what's the difference between 5% and 10% ? I have 4 glass panels (2' x 7') that get full afternoon sun and the kitchen gets hot enough to cook eggs on them! They overlook a waterfall garden. I know I have to compromise between view and temperature, but want to make the best I can of both worlds.
Asked by Em ·
Hi Em, Solar shades are woven. The percentages are the tightness of the weaves. The tighter the weave the harder to see through however that also increases the UV blockage and reduces the glare. 5% provides a 95% blockage and 10% provides a 90% blockage which is the looser weave. We definitely recommend getting the samples of each so that you can compare firsthand. Please give us a call if you have any further questions.

Which privacy does this shade provide at night?
Asked by Lisa ·
Hi Lisa, This shade is not recommended if you need privacy since these are see-through. You can see out of them during the day from inside and when the lights are on inside people can see in and you cannot see out.

When buying motorized blinds for several windows, does each window have its own remote control? or would one remote control all the windows together?
Asked by Laurie M ·
Hi Laurie, You can operate multiple shades at the same time on one channel or different shades independently on different channels. If you have shades in different rooms we suggest one remote per room. If only one remote is needed for multiple shades, CUSTOMIZE your first shade with "Add Remote" for the Remote Control option and place it in the cart. Order the remaining shades "No Remote" and add them to the cart separately.

We have a three windows that share the same space. We are looking for motorized solar shade solution. The width is 111" so from what I've read it's too wide for a single shade. The three windows share the same opening and separated by wooden slats. Are the motorized solar shades able to be mounted from the top or free standing sides? If not, what do you suggest for a motorized shade solution for this configuration?
Asked by Linda ·
Hi Linda, We appreciate you reaching out. You want to be sure you have the depth required for the product which you can find under the "Product Details" page. If you are using a cassette valance you can only mount from the top/ ceiling for an inside mount. If you are ordering without the cassette valance then you will be able to mount from the top/ ceiling or sides with a standard roll. You can find the installation instructions under the "Measure & Installation" tab as well to review exactly how the product would install to make it easier.

CAN SOMEBODY SEE THROUGH THIS BLINDS AT NIGHT?
Asked by Amit ·
Hello Amit, At night when you have a lighter color you will not be able to see as much at night. When you have a darker color however would be easier for anyone to see through.
