Motorized Insolroll® Solar Screen Shades In Action

Light Management

Solar Screen shades block the sun, but not the view.

Solar screen fabric is available in a wide variety of colors, styles, and openness factors to meet almost any criteria.  These fabrics tend to fall into three categories; dark fabrics, light fabrics, and high performance reflective fabrics.

Dark-colored Solar Screen Fabrics

Dark  fabrics provide excellent glare control by reducing the visible light that comes through the fabric.  Fabrics that block 94%-96% of the visible light provide excellent glare control characteristics.  These dark fabrics will absorb a lot of heat and keep it at the window until it dissipates into the room.

Light-colored Solar Screen Fabrics

Light colored fabrics are more effective at reflecting heat but allow more visible light into the room.  Fabrics that block 80-90% of the visible light often require a dual treatment (drapery or dual blackout shade) to properly control glare on large glass areas.  View through the fabric is similar to a sheer drapery.

High Performance Fabrics

High performance fabrics like SilverScreen have a reflective exterior regardless of the room-side color.  3-5% open reflective fabrics with 3-5% openness  provide excellent heat control, glare control, and view through characteristics.
