Openness Percentage2 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.

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.
