WINDOW SHADES

Woven mylar shades are widely utilized across major franchise restaurants such as McDonald’s, Starbucks, Panera, and Cracker Barrel.
​
Interior sun control fabrics deliver an ideal combination of light management, comfort, and aesthetic appeal, making them a preferred window covering solution for both residential and commercial environments.
​
Unlike many other window coverings, these fabrics maintain excellent outward visibility—even when shades are lowered—preserving natural light and exterior views.
 
Openness – Refers to the weave structure and the size of the gaps within the fabric. For example, a fabric with 5% openness consists of approximately 95% woven yarns and 5% open space, while a 15% openness fabric has 85% yarn and 15% open area. A higher openness factor provides greater outward visibility but also allows more natural light, glare, and UV rays to enter the space.
​
Privacy – Most woven shades provide effective daytime privacy. However, the degree of visibility through the fabric works both ways: the clearer your view outward during the day, the more visible the interior becomes at night when lights are on. This characteristic is true of all see-through window treatments.
