A114 5% Openness Multicolor Solar Shades with Large Tube (38mm)

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 multicolor shades remain perfectly level and operate smoothly, preventing edge fraying over time.

Absolutely. The 38mm heavy-duty tube is specifically designed 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 struggle or fail.

Solar shades are primarily designed for daytime use. During the day, they offer excellent privacy because the weave makes it difficult to see inside. At night, when interior lights are on, silhouettes may be visible from the outside. If complete nighttime privacy is required, we recommend layering them with curtains.

The solar fabric weave is highly effective at blocking harmful UV radiation. Even with higher openness factors, these shades can block a substantial percentage of UV rays, significantly reducing solar heat gain and protecting your hardwood floors, furniture, and artwork from fading.

Yes. The larger tube diameter provides greater mechanical leverage, making the shade feel lighter and more responsive to the touch. This provides a much smoother, quieter, and more professional operating experience compared to typical 25mm budget 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 color consistency and fabric integrity.
