Pick how much light you want.
Any of our roller fabrics, from see-through screens to room darkening.
Semi-sheer screen
Lots of lightKeeps the view and cuts glare and heat. A good choice for a sunroom.
Light filtering
Some lightSoftens bright sun and gives privacy by day.
Room darkening
Little lightBlocks the light. In full sun, pick a lighter colour: dark colours build up heat faster.
Screens are sold by how open the weave is, such as 1%, 3% or 5% open. A lower number cuts more glare and shows less of the view.
How it's held in place.
It doesn't roll up. It fixes in place, and lifts off when you want the sun back.
Velcro or tension rods
We pick the right hold for your glass at the consultation.
VelcroOn two sides for a rectangle, or on all four for a shaped window. Inside the frame, a slim track gives it something to grip.- Tension rodsRods slip into pockets at each end of the panel, so it can go across a skylight or sloped glass.
