    What Does “Openness Percentage” Mean?

    “Openness percentage” refers to how tightly the solar fabric is woven — which directly affects how much light, heat, & UV rays it blocks.

    Openness % Opacity % Light Control
    1% 99% Maximum privacy, lowest light
    3% 97% Very high privacy & UV block
    5% 95% Balanced light & privacy
    10% 90% Good view, less privacy
    14% 86% High visibility, minimal privacy

    ➡️ Lower openness = tighter weave = more light control & privacy

    ➡️ Higher openness = looser weave = better visibility, less UV blocking

    Frequently Asked Questions

    What’s the best openness level for solar shades?

    7% or 10% offer the best blend of view, UV control, and daytime privacy.

    Can you see through 5% shades at night?

    No. When your interior lights are on, passersby can see in. Consider blackout liners for privacy.

    What’s the openness of Coolaroo shades?

    They typically range from 5% to 15%, similar to our offerings.

    How does openness affect UV and visibility?

    • Lower openness (1–5%) = better UV blocking, more privacy
    • Medium (7–10%) = balanced light and protection
    • Higher (14–20%) = clearer view, less privacy

    “I only measured width at the bottom, finding it convenient as the window's top was hard to reach, and assuming the top to be of same 34 1/2" width.”

    WOW! I made a mistake in measurements and the covered it

    I only measured width at the bottom, finding it convenient as the window's top was hard to reach, and assuming the top to be of same 34 1/2" width. But on getting and installing my new elite 14 openness solar blind, I found out it was narrower, the top wider by 1/2": That light gap wasn't bearable, I consulted AffordableBlinds.com customer support for the solution, they happily offered a replacement for the fabric without any full charge, and also guided me how to remove the existing fabric and attach the new one to the roller mechanism. So impressed !!!

    “The 14 openness solar shades provide an open window like brightness and visibility, except its afflictive element- the uv element.”

    More like an open window but still protected against sun and prying eyes

    The 14 openness solar shades provide an open window like brightness and visibility, except its afflictive element- the uv element. I would recommend it for day time privacy also. however, it's not built for night time privacy, i none of the solar blinds claims to provide the nighttime privacy feature.

    “So precisely cut to width that I didn't need to use scissors (unlike my past experiences) while trying to adjust them inside the window depth of my sunroom.”

    Fit my window's 64.6" width and easy to move up and down

    So precisely cut to width that I didn't need to use scissors (unlike my past experiences) while trying to adjust them inside the window depth of my sunroom. They fabric protects from sun and peeking during the day. We dont however use it during the night.
