Key Considerations
- 1% openness solar shades provide low visibility. If you want to treat the window of a seaside resort or an outdoor space with spectacular scenery, choose solar blinds with higher openness factor, like 3%, 5%, 10%, or 14%.
- If you want to install this Elite Solar Shades 1% Openness in your bedroom, nursery, or home theater, choose standard roll style for least light gaps and maximum darkness.
- Tightly interwoven fabrics provide less filtered light. For an amply-lit room, choose solars with higher openness factors.
- Only choose an inside mount for these daylight control shades when your window frame depth is at least 2 ¼”.
- Don’t scrub these shades when cleaning.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the best openness for solar shades?
Medium openness factor (7% to 10%) is the best for sufficient UV protection, privacy, and outside view without making your room too dark. For maximum visibility, select solar roller fabric shades with 14% openness.
What does 1 openness mean in solar shades?
1% openness is the most private shade option, with 99% UV blockage and blackout effect. With the tightest woven fabric, it allows only 1% of natural light to filter through.
What is a 1% solar shade?
1% solar shade allows only one percent of the natural light to sail into your room, blocking the rest of the 99% rays. One drawback is that it gives low outside visibility.
Can you see through 1% solar shades at night?
The answer is yes! You can see through 1% solar shades at night, but the effect is reversed during the day.
