Openness Percentage4 ways to have it.
This indicates the tightness of the shade’s weave and that impacts the shade’s ability to block UV rays. The higher the openness percentage, the more transparent the weave, letting more sunlight in and allowing you to have a better view of the outdoors.

“The blind was exactly what we needed for our huge garage window that faces the sun. It cuts the heat, glare, and dust. The customer service agent I talked to provided answers to all my questions. The blinds came exactly on time and well packaged.”

“Process was super easy. Delivery time good. Installation easy and looks great. Appreciate that you ca still see out.”

“Purchased my condo almost 2yrs ago...but hesitated buying a window treatment. I needed the right treatment...one that did not interrupt my skyline and waterfront views. Blindster filled that bill perfectly with its non-invasive design, neutral linen color palette and diffused Sun light option. Installation was a breeze...instructions were straightforward with minimal required tools. Bravo Blindster! Thanks a million!!”

“Great product, easily assembled! Please switch to Phillips head screws in the future, flathead screws are not fun.”

“The solar shades are perfect and do exactly what I wanted. We had a problem installing the chain that moves the blinds up and down but finally figured it out. The service and communication provided were very good.”

“We ordered a large motorized solar shade for an east facing glass door. The shade is perfect and provides good light filtering without totally blocking our view. I have other Blindster motorized shades but I was impressed by how quiet the motor is in this new shade. Highly recommend the motorized solar shade.”

“I wanted to wait until we got them mounted before I wrote. I really like the solar roller shades. One can see out from the inside, but they are opaque from the outside. Very easy to install.”
Claudia
- Customer review
“For my application, it was for 2 south facing patio doors with extra wide window, 108 inches. They were an inside mount and for one person installing them, it was quite a challenge! One end is sloted and two tabs fit into the hanger, the other end is spring loaded tab. I had to sit one end on the top rung of a step ladder, while I attached the 2-tab end. No one was available to help, so had to figure it out alone. The only complaint I have is the tension device is very aukward to operate and hard to release.”

“i was skeptical initially give the low price but there shares are just as good as previous solar shares i bought at 8x the price, size was perfect, installation took some effort but doable at home”

FAQ
Questions, answered.
What is the best openness level for blocking heat and UV rays?
A low openness level of 1% to 3% blocks the most heat, UV, and glare because the tighter weave leaves less open space for sunlight to pass through. It also gives the most daytime privacy. The trade-off is a slightly less open view, so if the view matters most, a 5% openness offers a strong balance of protection and clarity.
Do solar shades provide privacy during the day?
During the day, solar shades let you see out while making it difficult for people outside to see in, so they provide daytime privacy, with lower openness levels giving more. After dark is different. Once interior lights are on at night, solar shades become see-through from outside and the room is visible from the street, so for nighttime privacy you will want to pair them with a room-darkening or blackout shade.
Can solar shades help reduce my energy bills?
Yes. By blocking a significant portion of the sun's heat before it builds up inside, solar shades reduce heat gain through your windows, which eases the load on your air conditioning during hot months. Lower openness fabrics block the most heat, so they deliver the biggest efficiency gain in sunny, view-facing rooms.
Can solar shades be motorized?
Yes. Solar shades are available with motorized operation, which is especially convenient for large or hard-to-reach windows in sunrooms and living rooms. Motorized shades ship with a remote, and an optional Wi-Fi hub lets you integrate them with a smart-home system for scheduling and voice control.
