How To Increase Your Daytime Privacy….
Phifer sun control fabrics not only offer excellent reduction in solar heat and glare but also provide daytime privacy when needed. Their SheerWeave® interior window treatment fabrics are available in a variety of colors and textures to suit both commercial and residential environments, while Phifer exterior shading products are made for outdoor use.
The Benefits of Phifer Fabrics Beyond Sun Control for Residential and Commercial Environments
Residential Shading: Available in a range of colors and textures, SheerWeave® fabrics complement a variety of interior decor styles. If uniformity is required by a HOA, window treatments made with SheerWeave® can offer daytime privacy and conform to required color specifications. SheerWeave® fabrics are also an excellent choice for use in dual roller shading systems where the benefits of outward visibility and sun control are needed during the daytime combined with total light blockage. Phifer exterior sun control screening products, such as our SunTex® 95, offer increased daytime privacy alongside the ability to block 95% of UV rays, helping to sustain comfortable temperatures in the home.
Commercial Shading: Used in a commercial setting, SheerWeave® fabrics encourage greater confidentiality and comfort for staff and visitors alike during the daytime. In an office environment, privacy shading can be used in conference rooms to enhance focus on presentations, reduce glare and maintain comfortable temperatures.
Phifer sun control fabrics offer added benefits, including:
Energy Efficient Heat Control - Solar shades made from SheerWeave® and Phifer exterior sun control screening products can help lower energy costs due to their ability to absorb and dissipate heat, effectively blocking harmful UV rays and helping maintain comfortable temperatures in a home, office, or hospital environment.
GREENGUARD® Gold Certified - SheerWeave® is GREENGUARD® Gold Certified, adhering to the highest standards for indoor air quality by lowering VOCs (volatile organic compounds) that are caused by the off-gassing of materials.
Inhibits Growth of Mold and Bacteria - Select SheerWeave® fabrics and Phifer exterior sun control fabrics are infused with Microban®, an antimicrobial agent that hinders the growth of mold, mildew and bacteria and eliminates the unpleasant odors associated with them.
Why Color Factors Into Choosing Screening for Daytime Privacy:
SheerWeave® products and Phifer exterior privacy screening allow for better outward visibility than traditional window treatments. Outward visibility is determined by the openness factor, fabric color and contrast in light from the interior to the exterior.
Darker colors in Phifer’s shading fabric ranges are easier to see through, providing improved outward daytime views, but may afford less privacy during evening hours. Lighter colored materials offer more privacy both during the day and evening hours, although interior lighting can reverse the view through at night, allowing those on the outside to see in. If nighttime privacy is a concern, SheerWeave® blackout fabrics are an excellent choice for a 100% opaque solution that can be combined with a dual roller system for the best of both worlds.
