A113 5% Openness Cordless Spring-loaded Solar Shades

5% openness means that the fabric has a 5% weave density, allowing 5% of light to pass through. This design effectively filters glare and blocks UV rays while maintaining a view to the outside, making it ideal for living rooms and offices where both shade and natural light are desired.

Our cordless system eliminates dangling cords for a clean look and child safety. Simply pull down or push up on the bottom rail to adjust the shade to your desired height; the internal spring tension system will hold it securely in place without locking mechanisms.

No. 5% openness solar shades are designed to filter sunlight and reduce glare rather than provide total room darkening. If you require complete blackout for a bedroom, we recommend choosing a 0% openness (blackout) fabric.

For inside mounts, measure the exact width and height of the inside of your window frame. For outside mounts, add at least 2–4 inches to your measurements to ensure full coverage and privacy. Always measure in three different spots and use the smallest width to ensure a proper fit. View Our Step-by-Step Measurement Guide.

Yes, installation is straightforward. With basic tools, you simply attach the mounting brackets to your window frame or wall, and then snap the shade headrail into the brackets. Most installations take less than 20 minutes.

Maintenance is simple. Use a soft, damp cloth or a feather duster to wipe away dust. Avoid using harsh chemical cleaners or bleach, as these can damage the fabric's specialized solar-reflective coating.

Our cordless systems are rigorously tested for durability and can withstand thousands of cycles. If the tension seems to weaken, fully extending the shade and letting it retract slowly can often reset the spring mechanism.
