Solar shades offer a range of opacity levels, spanning from 1% to 14% openness. But what does this actually signify?  A shade with 1% openness will effectively shield 99% of harmful UV rays, while a 14% openness shade will block 86%, with variations in between. In simple terms, the lower the percentage, the denser the fabric weave, resulting in reduced light penetration. 

Opacity tells the tightness/looseness of our custom sun shade’s fabric weave that is “open” to allow filtered light, view, and daylight control.

Key Considerations

• Solar roller blinds with a light filtering (loosely woven) fabric will not provide nighttime privacy. If you want to install them in your bedroom or bathroom, choose a tightly woven or blackout fabric.
• Choose 14% openness factor if you want to treat the window of a resort with spectacular scenery.
• Only choose an inside mount for these daylight control shades if your window has minimum required depth. Use light blockers to cover light gaps.
• Don’t scrub the shades when cleaning.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between solar shades and roller shades?

Structurally, solar shades are made from screen-like mesh materials, while roller shades are made from vinyl or other fabrics. Functionally, solar shades provide UV protection without entirely blocking the view, while roller shades are used to control light or brightness in a room. In our Custom Made Solar Roller Shades, both types of shades have been combined.

Are solar shades more expensive than roller shades?

Yes. Sun-protection blinds are nearly twice costlier than roller shades.

What is the best solar shade?

A solar shade with medium openness factor (7% to 10%) is the best for sufficient UV rejection, glare reduction, privacy, and outside view without making your room too dark.

Can you see through solar roller shades?

In the case of a solar roller shade with an open weave, you can see out, but passers-by can’t see in during the day. The effect is reversed at night. However, the sun shades with a tightly interwoven blackout fabric are not see-through at night.
