A113 5% Openness Solar Shades with Large Tube (38mm)

A 5% openness factor provides the perfect balance between light filtration and outward view. It blocks 95% of harmful UV rays and glare while still allowing enough natural light to brighten your room and maintaining a clear, soft view of the outdoors during the day.

The 38mm large tube provides significantly higher structural rigidity than standard 28mm tubes. This prevents the roller from bowing or sagging on wider windows, ensuring your shades stay perfectly level and operate smoothly, which also prevents premature edge fraying.

Yes. The 38mm heavy-duty tube system is specifically engineered to support wider spans. Its increased torque and stable rotation make it the ideal choice for large living room windows or sliding glass doors where smaller, entry-level tubes would likely struggle or fail.

Solar shades are designed primarily for daytime use. During the day, they offer excellent privacy because the weave makes it difficult for outsiders to see in. At night, when interior lights are on, silhouettes may be visible from the outside. We recommend layering with curtains if total nighttime privacy is needed.

By blocking 95% of UV radiation, these shades are highly effective at preventing sun damage. They significantly reduce solar heat gain and protect your hardwood floors, furniture, and artwork from fading due to long-term sun exposure.

Yes. The larger tube diameter provides greater mechanical leverage, making the shade feel lighter and more responsive to the touch. This results in a much smoother, quieter, and more consistent rolling experience compared to typical 28mm budget-grade systems.

Inside mount offers a clean, architectural look that fits flush within the window frame. Outside mount is recommended if your window casing is too shallow for the 38mm hardware or if you want to overlap the frame to minimize side light gaps and maximize overall window coverage.

Maintenance is simple. Use a feather duster or a soft, dry microfiber cloth for regular dusting. For minor spots, use a damp cloth with mild, soapy water. Avoid harsh chemicals or heavy scrubbing to preserve the fabric's integrity and UV-blocking coating.
