Key Considerations
- Standard roll is the best option for room darkening situations and optimal light control, as it will leave smaller light gaps. On the other hand, reverse roll will leave bigger light gaps.
- If you need more UV protection and privacy, choose solar blinds with tighter weaves and lower openness factors - 5%, 3%, and 1%.
- Make sure your window frame depth is at least 2 ¼” when choosing an inside mount.
- The insulating potential of these 10% openness daylight control shades is lower than cellular shades.
Recommendation
We strongly recommend a free sample to see how the real colors look before finally selecting and purchasing the solar shades.
