How to Choose Your Openness: 1%, 3%, or 5%

A side-by-side comparison of Signature solar roller shades demonstrating the transparency and privacy differences between 5%, 3%, and 1% openness factors in a modern living room setting
The "openness factor" determines how tightly the fabric is woven. The lower the percentage, the more protection you get from heat, glare and UV.

  • 1% Openness (Maximum Protection): Our tightest weave. Best for south-facing and west-facing windows with intense afternoon sun. Provides the highest level of heat reduction and glare control and is usually chosen for home offices and media rooms.
  • 3% Openness (The Balanced Choice): Offers an ideal middle ground, blocking 97% of UV rays while providing a clearer view of the outdoors than the 1% weave.
  • 5% Openness (Increased Viewability): Our most popular option and the best choice for rooms where the view is the priority. It allows the most natural light into the space while still blocking 95% of harmful UV rays. 5% openness is ideal for living rooms and well suited to both residential and commercial projects.
  • 10% and 14% Openness (Maximum View): We also offer 10% and 14% openness options in our Premier and Luxe Solar Shade lines if increased viewability is a priority. These levels of openness are best for large windows and sunrooms where maximising the view to outside is a priority over privacy.
Decision Tip: If your main goal is stopping screen glare on a TV or monitor, choose 1% or 3%. If you want to maintain a sharp, airy view of your backyard or city skyline, choose 5%.

Understanding how solar shades work and their benefits in your home or office

Solar shades are technical window treatments designed to manage solar energy before it heats up your home. Consider the following if you are thinking about purchasing solar shades for your home:

  • Manage Glare & View: Darker fabric colors (like Black or Bronze) provide the best glare control and the sharpest view to the outside. Lighter colors (like White) are more effective at reflecting heat away from the window.
  • Protect Your Home: UV blockage is the inverse of openness. A 1% shade blocks 99% of UV rays, protecting your furniture, flooring, and artwork from fading and sun damage.
  • Reduce the Temperature: By absorbing and reflecting heat, these shades keep your rooms cooler in the summer, helping to lower energy costs.

Solar Shades vs. Light Filtering: Which is right for you?

While both options manage natural light, they serve very different functional purposes:

  • Solar Shades (The "Sunglasses" View): Made with a mesh weave to preserve your view while blocking UV rays. Ideal for living areas and offices where you don't want to feel "boxed in."
  • Light Filtering Shades (The "Soft Glow"): Made with solid, translucent fabric. They do not allow a view to the outside; instead, they diffuse sunlight into a soft, private glow throughout the room.

Comparison: Solar Shades vs. Light Filtering Shades

Use the table below to determine which window treatment best suits your room's light, privacy, and view requirements.

Feature Solar Shades Light Filtering Shades
Primary Purpose Preserve view and block UV/Heat Soften light and provide privacy
View to Outside Excellent (like looking through sunglasses) Blocked (translucent fabric)
Light Control Filters natural light & reduces glare Diffuses light into a soft, warm glow
Daytime Privacy Moderate (varies by openness %) High (blocks shapes and figures)
Nighttime Privacy None (lights inside allow visibility) Partial (only shadows/silhouettes visible)
Best For Living rooms, sunrooms, and home offices Dining rooms, entryways, and bathrooms

Note: If you require 100% total privacy and darkness (for a bedroom or nursery), we recommend exploring our Blackout Shades and Blinds.

Eight Versatile Neutral Color Options

Our Signature series features a curated selection of 8 neutral colors designed to complement any interior while maintaining high-performance heat reflection on the outside: Black, Bronze/Black, Grey/Black, Grey/Sandstone, Sandstone, Snow Grey, White, and White/Sandstone.

If selecting Cassette with Fabric Insert please note that the fabric will match your chosen shade color, and the default base plastic of the cassette is White. If you wish to customize the base plastic cassette color please contact our customer support team. It is available in Clear Anodized, White, Black, Bronze and Alabaster. We find that most people prefer white to match their window frame.

Custom Made for Your Windows

  • Mounting Styles: Available in inside or outside mount with optional fabric-insert cassette valances for a clean, professional finish.
  • Shop with Confidence: We offer Free Shipping, and our MeasureSafe™ Guarantee. Custom shades ship in approximately 5-7 business days.

Important Note on Privacy

Solar shades are designed for light and heat management and do not offer nighttime privacy. When lights are on inside at night, there is inward visibility. For 24/7 privacy, we recommend pairing these with drapery or a secondary window treatment.

Pro Tip: To see the difference between 1%, 3%, and 5% openness weaves in your own light, we highly recommend ordering free samples before you place your order.
