SheerWeave fabrics reduce glare by 70%-100% based on color and openness factor, which are the most important features to consider for energy savings and light management. Below are a few principles to consider when choosing the optimal fabric for your next window covering project:

LIGHT VS. DARK COLORS: SheerWeave color options range from creamy White and Bone to darker Charcoal and Chestnut tones. These color designations go beyond aesthetics and color coordination with interior décor. Lighter color fabrics provide optimum heat reduction, reflect light and illuminate the interior. Darker fabrics provide a superb view to the outside and reduce glare, making them ideal for viewing computer and television screens.

OPENNESS DIFFERENCES: The openness of a fabric refers to the weave or mesh structure and determines the amount of heat and light that enters a room. Generally, a more open fabric allows more heat and light to penetrate into the room, while tighter meshes block more heat and light. Additionally, more open fabrics help maintain better outward visibility. SheerWeave fabrics are offered in a variety of openness factors to allow optimal light in commercial buildings or provide more privacy in settings such as healthcare facilities.
