Screen Openness
Solar screens are available in screen openness factors from 3% to 14%. The smaller the number, the less ‘open’ the screen is. So for maximum view-through choose a high % number. For greater privacy, choose small % numbers.
Fabrics

Privacy

This can be even more apparent at night when images in your home are back lit. For maximum privacy, choose smaller screen openness factors (3-5%).
