Solar shades provide UV protection, privacy, and outdoor visibility, with openness percentages indicating fabric weave tightness.
Lower openness (1%-5%) blocks more UV rays and offers greater privacy but limits the view. Medium openness (10%) balances visibility and sun protection, while high openness (14%) maximizes the view with glare reduction.
During the day, solar shades block outside views, but at night, interior lights reverse the effect. For added privacy, consider curtains or dual zebra shades.
