Roller Shades for Arch, Angled, Rounded & Triangular Windows: Openness Explained

When choosing roller shades for angled windows, one of the key factors to consider is openness — a term that refers to how tightly the fabric is woven and, in turn, how much light and visibility it allows through. This element plays a critical role in both the function and aesthetic of your window treatments, especially in uniquely shaped windows where precision and performance matter.

Roller Shades vs Roller Screens
for Angles, Arched, Triangular & Rounded Windows

Roller screens are the most popular option in the category of roller shades as they allow for sun protection even while preserving the view to the outside.

 

Roller shades includes roller shades, as well as translucent materials that allow in natural light but no view, and room darkening shades.

Openness For
Angled Screen
& Roller Shades

Openness on an angled window roller screen shade refers to how much light and visibility the shade fabric allows. 

Arched & Angled Shades:
Keep The View, Control The Sun

A lower openness factor, such as 1%, means the weave is tighter, allowing minimal light to pass through. These fabrics are excellent for blocking intense sunlight, reducing glare, and offering greater privacy. On the other end of the spectrum, a higher openness factor like 10% or greater allows significantly more light into the room and offers a clearer view to the outside. This is ideal for spaces where maintaining a visual connection to the outdoors is important, such as in living areas with scenic views.
