Solar Shades: Modern Light Control

Q: What does openness 1% / 3% / 5% mean?

Openness describes the weave openness of the fabric. 1% blocks more glare/UV with less view-through; 5% keeps more view with lighter glare control; 3% balances the two.

Q: Which openness should I choose for bright, south-facing windows or screens?

For strong sun or glare and for home offices, 1%–3% works best. For mixed living spaces where view matters, 3%–5% is popular.

Q: Do solar shades block UV and help reduce fading?

Yes—open-weave fabrics cut UV and glare significantly while preserving daylight. They help reduce fading on floors and furnishings compared to bare windows.

Q: Will solar shades give me night privacy when interior lights are on?

Solar shades are daytime-privacy products. At night with lights on, silhouettes can be visible. Pair with drapery or a dual roller (blackout) for full night privacy.

Q: What is a cassette and do I need one?

A cassette is a slim fascia that hides the roll for a clean look and helps control small top light gaps. It’s optional but popular in modern spaces.

Q: Chain, cordless or motorized—how should I choose?

Cordless is tidy and child-safe; chain is precise and economical; motorized adds remote, app, voice and schedules—great for wide or hard-to-reach windows.

Q: Can solar shades integrate with Google/Alexa and scenes/schedules?

Yes. With a compatible hub we set scenes, schedules, and voice control via Google or Alexa.

Q: Are chain-operated shades child-safe in condos/houses?

We install tensioned chain guides and safety hardware. For kids’ rooms we recommend cordless or motorized.

Q: Inside vs. outside mount—what should I choose for solar shades?

Inside mount is tidy and minimal; outside mount increases edge coverage and helps with light lines. We’ll confirm recess depth and trim conditions on site.

Q: Can I pair solar shades with blackout or drapery for night privacy?

Yes—common combos are solar + drapery or a dual roller (solar + blackout). Daytime view and night privacy in one system.
