Fabric Opacity
The most important factor for many people when selecting blinds, is light control. A good blind will block or filter the light perfectly according to the style and purpose of the room. At Wynstan we have three opacity options when it comes to selecting blind fabrics. Here’s a guide so you choose the right opacity:
Blockout
Blockout fabrics are perfect for privacy and complete light control. This type of fabric allows you to entirely blockout the outside light, as well as providing total privacy. They are best suited to rooms where complete light screening is top priority, such as a bedroom
or media room.
Translucent
This type of fabric softens harsh light, while providing daytime privacy. Translucent fabric allows natural illumination, creating a beautiful ambience. This fabric is perfect for kitchens and family rooms.
Sheer
Sheer fabrics allow light to be diffused, while allowing you to enjoy the view. This is designed to stop glare but allow light in, where visibility is important.
