Which rooms suit sunscreen roller blinds?
| Room | Why it helps | Our tip |
|---|---|---|
| Living rooms | Cut glare and heat, keep the view | 3% or 5% openness keeps the room bright |
| Home offices | Less glare on screens | Choose 1% or 3% if sun hits the screen |
| West-facing rooms | Take the edge off afternoon sun | A darker fabric gives a clearer view out |
| Large glass and offices | Neat look across many windows | Use the same fabric for a uniform facade |
What openness means
Openness is how much of the weave is open: 1%, 3% or 5%. Lower openness blocks more sun and glare; higher openness gives a clearer view and more light. Our sunscreen openness guide explains which to choose.
Privacy at night
Sunscreen blinds give privacy in the day, but at night with lights on inside people can see in. For bedrooms, pair them with blackout roller blinds or curtains.
Do they keep rooms cooler?
They help by stopping part of the sun before it reaches the room, while you still see out. Darker fabric colours usually give a clearer view and less glare.
Care and cleaning
Sunscreen fabrics are very easy-care. Vacuum with a soft brush and wipe with a damp cloth when needed.
Questions about sunscreen roller blinds
Can you see through sunscreen blinds?
Yes, from the darker side. In the day you can see out while people outside see much less in.
Which openness is best for the UAE?
3% is the most popular all-rounder. 1% suits very strong sun and screens, 5% keeps more of the view.
Do sunscreen blinds block heat?
They block part of the sun and glare, which helps keep rooms more comfortable. Blackout blinds block more light, but you lose the view.
Can sunscreen roller blinds be motorised?
Yes. They can have a motor and be controlled by remote, app or voice assistant.
