Blackout Fabric

  • Blocks all light coming through fabric (does not include light gaps)
  • Provides daytime and nighttime privacy

Translucent Fabric

  • Allows light flow into the space- no view out
  • Provides daytime and nighttime privacy (shadows may be seen at night)

Solar Screen Fabric

  • Maintains view and open feeling to the outside, while reducing heat and glare
  • Provides daytime privacy only

Step 2: Choose your Fabric Color

Light-colored fabrics

Light-colored fabrics provide more heat reduction. Light-colored solar screen fabrics will reduce heat AND diffuse interior light.

Dark-colored fabrics

Dark-colored solar screen fabrics provide more glare reduction and better view-through. Dark-colored translucent fabrics reduce light entering the room.

 

Step 3: Choose your Solar Screen Fabric Density

If choosing a Solar Screen fabric, you will need to choose a density.
