Can you see through the shade from the outside looking in? Looking for privacy.

On a 3% open solar shade exotic, at night, with lights on inside, is there privacy?
Asked by John H ·
Thank you so much for your interest! Others will be able to see in the windows at night when the lights are on inside. The vision will be approximately the same as what you see during the day when you look outside. We always suggest that you get samples and tape them to your window panes so you can see the levels of privacy.

I am looking to replace the thin black regular screening on my Lanai with privacy screening. From the outside I have seen several homes here in The Villages, Florida, that appear to be white in color, but I think they look just like your solar screening. Since this is a permanent installation, not roll up screening, I don't see this as a project that I want to tackle, and will probable employ a contractor/Handyman. Do you sell just the screening material, or do you have any suggestions for another approach? There are no actual window panes involved in this project.

Thank you so much for your interest! Unfortunately, I do not believe the fabric we use to make our exterior shades is strong enough to use on a lanai. It also doesn't come in the right sizes.

are any of these fabric choices considered high performance?
Asked by Marel D ·
Thank you so much for your interest! I don't really know what you mean by high performance. Solar shades are designed to control temperature and light/glare. Each fabric has an openness factor. The lower the number, the more it will block heat/cold and light/glare. The exotic collection is unusual in that the fabrics are designed for the designer look, so the openness factor will vary from fabric to fabric. All of our other fabrics (with a basketweave fabric only) are grouped together by openness factors. Remember that the view will also be affected by the openness factor. The lower the number, the less view you will have during the day but you will have more privacy at night. Please call 888-256-8672, option 1 for sales to get more information.
