A113 5% Openness Solar Shades with Small Tube (28mm)

A 5% openness factor allows 5% of natural light to filter through the fabric. It is the industry standard for achieving the perfect balance: it effectively reduces harsh glare and solar heat gain while still allowing you to see outside, keeping your room feeling bright and spacious.

The 28mm small tube is specifically engineered for a compact, low-profile fit. It is the ideal choice for windows with limited mounting depth (recessed windows) where standard 38mm systems would look too bulky, ensuring a sleek, minimalist aesthetic without compromising performance.

These shades offer excellent daytime privacy—people outside cannot easily see into your home, while you maintain a clear view of the outdoors. Please note that at night, when interior lights are on, the effect is reversed. For total nighttime privacy, we recommend layering these with curtains or selecting our blackout range.

Maintenance is effortless. Use a vacuum with a soft brush attachment or a dry, clean microfiber cloth to remove dust regularly. For minor spots, wipe gently with a slightly damp cloth and mild, pH-neutral soap. Avoid harsh chemicals to preserve the fabric's protective UV coating.
