With our extensive selection of light-filtering and room-darkening fabrics, roller & solar shades let you achieve just the right level of light in the room. The more sheer the fabric, the more light it lets in from the outside—although keep in mind that sheer fabrics don’t offer a lot of privacy. On the other hand, blackout roller shades block out nearly all the light and provide the most privacy. You could even go with Designer Banded Shades that have alternating sheer and solid fabric bands in the same shade for even more light control.
