If you base your fabric choice on having a nice view that you want to enhance, we suggest a dark fabric with a 3% or 5% openness factor. White fabric can make the view blurry, while black fabric tends to make the view more crisp.ДЇor homeowners who desire a clear view, a 3% openness factor facing west is the most popular choice. 5% in a white fabric would be equivalent to a 3% in black fabric as far as seeing through it. The higher the openness factor, the looser the fabric weave and the less shade it offers.ДЄ shade with an openness factor of 3%-5% blocks more sun and more privacy but it will also allow less view through. Although solar shades with tighter weaves are perfect for rooms that get a lot of direct sun, itвЂ™s important to consider the amount of view that you want to maintain. Lower openness factors resulting from tightly woven fabrics block more of the view. Openness refers to the tightness of the fabric weave, directly reflecting the amount of light let through-also called the вЂњopenness factorвЂќ. Screen shades, also referred to as solar shades, are designed to maximize sunlight and your view to the outside while preserving privacy. Instead of walking in and having to put on sunglasses you can actually look and enjoy the crisp views without squinting. A darker fabric will absorb the heat and glare providing a much more comfortable feel to the eye.A lighter fabric, better reflects the sunвЂ™s heat, but also brightens the room and blurs the view.If maintaining your view is a priority the right fabric will make a big difference.Solar shades not only offer great sun control and insulation, but also provide the great benefit of being able to maintain your view of the outdoors.For example, a 1% opacity fabric will provide more privacy than a 5% opacity, but will decrease the level of view through during the day. Please be aware that at night there can be some view through into the home depending on the opacity of your chosen fabric. Privacy: While providing great sun control and insulation, solar shades will only provide a minor level of privacy. No window treatments mounted on the inside of a window can compare to an outside shade which stops the heat before it enters your home. A great option to consider is an exterior operated shade. Choosing the right type of shades can help. Insulation: Everyone would like to cut their heating and cooling bills. Everyone wants to protect their beautiful new floors, furniture, and art from the very harmful UV rays the sun generates. Sun Control: Sun control is the biggest reason shades are needed for windows. вЂЌ Key Factors to Consider When Selecting Your Solar Shade Fabric In some cases we have found that the fabric desired and chosen had the reverse effect once installed, leaving the consumer disappointed and now forced to live with this decision for years to come or until deciding to ultimately purchase new shades. We have found in our years of experience a very common question that is raised-when to use a light fabric versus a dark fabric when choosing solar shades.
