Below is a guide to help you choose the right fabric for your blind:

  • Transparent Fabrics are ideal for cutting down ambient light but not completely obscuring your external visibility.
  • Translucent Fabrics allow full privacy and reduce (but not block out) ambient light.
  • Blackout Fabrics allow full privacy and eliminate almost all ambient light.
  • Screen Fabrics offer some daylight with partial transparency (depending on the mesh size and fabric).

If you have any queries on any of our fabrics, please feel free to contact us.
