A TRANSPARENT GUIDE TO WINDOW SHADES OPACITY & OPENNESS
Southern Exposure Window Coverings
IMPORTANCE OF OPACITY OF SHADES:
Opacity is the amount of light your window shade fabric is allowing to enter your room. Light fabric or sheer fabric allows most of the sunlight to enter your room and is almost transparent. It doesn’t provide any level of privacy from the outside, the inside of the room is visible. Hence while talking about opacity the blackout curtains, on the other hand, are a 10 out of 10 in providing privacy and also cutting out the sunlight to enter your room. This will assist in keeping it cool all the time.
WINDOW SHADES OPENNESS FACTOR:
Window shades usually offer a variety of levels one can easily select from as per their requirement and needs. If one requires high openness percentage then the fabric will be intertwined less and hence allow more light (and visibility) to enter the room.
On the other hand if one requires less openness then the fabric will be intertwined closely and tightly to allow less to no sunlight inside the room.
UNDERSTAND TYPES OF FABRIC:
There are a variety of options available in the fabric that provide you with low/ moderate and high privacy. Fabric softness and quality surely depend on what one wants for their area. When choosing a window covering try not to feel it and just go off your needs and aesthetics. Many times people don’t like the fabrics based off the feel when realistically no one will ever be touching your window coverings!
