Opacity: Translucent Also called light filtering, this type of fabric brings the best of both worlds: a mix of what sheer & blockout fabrics do best. Translucent fabrics will give you privacy and let some natural light into the room at the same time. They are most often woven very tightly with a polyester yarn, and finished with a protective clear coating. It is remarkably efficient at creating a relaxed ambiance. The privacy that Translucent fabrics give is excellent, all that will be visible from the outside will be silhouettes of anything close to the window on the inside.
Colour: A magic way to flood your interior with softened & slightly coloured light. You can be certain to reduce glare & keep perfect clarity. Once again, light colours will be more suitable when keeping the heat out is the goal.
Texture: Most translucent fabrics are matched with a blockout fabric, therefore it is possible to keep a similar look & texture throughout your home. Plain & textured fabrics exist and the choice is a simple matter of taste. As opposed to sheer fabrics, the texture tends to become more obvious at night, without natural light shining through.
