Solve privacy challenges in every room with blinds and shades that give you full control over light, view, and comfort. Adjust opacity, openness factors, and top down bottom up shades to match each room’s needs—whether you want bright, airy living areas or fully private bedrooms. These solutions keep your Winnipeg home secure, stylish, and functional, while letting in natural light without compromising privacy.
Openness Factor in Blinds: Light, Privacy, and Visibility
The openness factor of blinds measures the density of the fabric weave, expressed as a percentage, and determines how much light and visibility pass through. Blinds with a low openness factor have a tighter weave, blocking more light and providing enhanced privacy, while a higher openness factor allows more natural light in and maintains outdoor views. Understanding openness factors helps you choose blinds that perfectly balance light control, privacy, and room comfort.
Window Covering Opacity: Light Control and Privacy
Opacity refers to how much light passes through a fabric and directly affects both light control and privacy in a room. Sheer fabrics let in the most natural light while offering minimal privacy, making them ideal for bright, airy spaces. In contrast, blackout fabrics block nearly all light, providing maximum privacy and creating a dark, comfortable environment. Choosing the right opacity will help you balance natural light, privacy, and room comfort for every space.
View Through: Evening Privacy and Light Control
Evening privacy is essential for safety, security, and personal comfort. When interior lights are on, rooms with bright light become more visible from outside. The opacity and weave of your window coverings control how much can be seen, while the location of your primary light source affects visibility. Look at the photos below to see different fabrics in real-life lighting so you can choose the perfect balance of privacy, light control, and comfort for every room in your home.
Top down bottom up shades
Get precise control over both light and privacy. Lower the shade from the top to let in sunlight while keeping lower areas private, or raise it from the bottom for full exposure. These flexible shades are perfect for street-facing rooms, living areas, and spaces where light and privacy must be carefully balanced.
