Solar View Woven

Solar View Woven

The material makeup of these shades is unique in that they deliver UV protection while still allowing natural light to filter through. Other benefits include reducing glare, minimizing heat buildup, and helping to protect against fading. The fibers are made up of soft woven fiberglass interwoven with other fibers for strength. This shade will help with energy savings.

SolarView Woven filters and diffuses light while reducing glare and solar heat gain, conserving energy and helping to create a more comfortable environment. SolarView Woven also helps reduce the fading of interior furnishings and flooring by protecting these surfaces from the sun’s harmful effects. And unlike many window treatments, SolarView Weave allows excellent outward visibility – even when shades are lowered – to maintain optimal views.

Intro to Shading

Openness factor refers to the tightness of the weave or mesh construction and, combined with color, de-termines the fabric’s overall performance. The more open a fabric the more heat and light will transmit to interior spaces and the more outward views are maintained. With openness factors ranging from zero to 25 percent, selecting the right combination of col-or and openness will ensure your goals for energy savings, light management and outward visibility are achieved.

Light colors, such as white, reflect solar energy away from interior spaces and transmit diffused natural light toward the interior. These colors are excellent for reducing overall solar heat gain, lowering energy costs associated with air-conditioning, and reducing the need for artificial lighting for additional energy savings. Due to high reflectivity, light colors will limit outward views.

Dark colors, such as black, absorb solar heat and light for sig-nificant glare reduction. Benefits include improved clarity of electronic devices, diminished eye strain and excellent out-ward views. While the overall impact on solar heat gain is not as significant with dark colors, this heat will be more evenly distributed into the room, improving comfort and eliminating hot spots created by direct sun light.

How to Measure
SolarView will provide custom roll shades made to the measurements that the customer records.
Width measurements need to be taken at the point where the roll shade installation brackets will be mounted. Measurements will not be accepted by the desired material width or height. Use a steel measuring tape. Enter measurements in inches and in fractions, round down to the nearest 1/8”. Measurements by the foot or metrics are not accepted.
(IM) measurements are for mounting the shade brackets within the window casement, the factory will make deductions to accommodate the brackets, shade, and rotating control mechanism. Inside mount (IM) shades will ALWAYS have a gap of up to 5/8” on both sides of the shade. < plus or minus 1/8” > EXAMPLE: a shade ordered at 70” IM width will fit within 70”. NOTE the material width including bottom bar will be approximately 68 ¾”. The “gap” is the spacing given to accommodate the brackets and mechanism that hold and control the shade. If this gap is not acceptable, consider adding inches to the shade and mount it on the wall, trim or mullion for an Outside Bracket Mount (OB) We do not accept material or bottom bar width when ordering. If there are any obstructions (trim, molding, handles) this must be taken into consideration to have a customized fit. Photographs and or additional measurements may be required. Material width or bottom bar width is never considered as a viable measurement in and of itself.
(OB) measurements are for mounting the shade brackets on the outer casing, on the ceiling, trim, molding or mullion. This measurement will be manufactured with NO factory deductions. When ordering OB measurements, you can customize the opening for no-light gap coverage by simply increasing the mounting width size. The final rule is; Measure to and from the point of the bracket installation. Material width or bottom bar width is never considered as a viable measurement in and of itself.
The minimum mounting depth for IM is 1” (brackets and shade will extend past the opening) For fully recessed shades the depth must be 3”. The tubes and mechanism become larger for shades that measure beyond 76” wide. The large shade will need a 4” minimum depth to be fully recessed The factory always adds length to each shade as a “safety wrap”. This insures that the material will hang securely to the tube. The material safety wrap remains around the tube when the shade reaches the ordered length.
The default length of the chain is 60% of the shade’s ordered height. A roll shade positioned over a door or a tall window where the windowsill is greater than 48” from the floor will need extended chain length. The extended chain will lower the drop length to allow reach and access to the roll shade. An extra chain must be requested at time of order. Cord Free Control OPTION: Spring Pull Tension is available at no extra cost for Mylar Roll Shades.
