Daylight Filtering Collection

Light filtering is the most versatile category of window covering. It doesn’t aim for darkness—it aims for softness. Our Daylight Filtering Collection tames harsh direct sunlight into a gentle, diffused glow that illuminates your room without squinting. Unlike sheer fabrics that offer minimal privacy, these shades strike a careful balance: they blur the details of your interior from the outside while allowing you to see the silhouette of trees, clouds, and neighborhood activity. UV protection is built in, blocking 85% of harmful rays that cause fading in furniture and flooring. Available in a wide range of weaves—from smooth broadcloth to slubbed linen looks and subtle heathered yarns—and a spectrum of colors spanning cool neutrals, warm earth tones, and soft pastels. Every shade is custom‑cut to your exact window measurements and can be ordered with cordless, continuous loop, or motorized lift. For living rooms, offices, kitchens, and any room where daylight is an asset, not an adversary.

Range of Openness Factors

Not all “light filtering” performs the same. Our collection is organized by openness factor—the percentage of the fabric that is open space.

  • 3% Openness: maximum privacy with minimal view‑through; ideal for ground‑floor bedrooms.

  • 5% Openness: excellent privacy with a soft, airy feel; our most popular choice for living areas.

  • 8% Openness: clearer view‑through with moderate glare control; perfect for sunrooms and garden windows.

  • 12% Openness: an open, almost‑sheer weave; best for spaces where the view is the priority.

This lets you choose the exact balance of daylight and privacy your space requires.

UV Protection Without Darkness

Clear glass provides no UV defense. Even at 12% openness, our light‑filtering fabrics block 80–90% of UV radiation. The protection comes from UV‑absorbing compounds integrated into the polyester fibers during extrusion—not from surface coatings—so it never washes off or degrades. Your floors, textiles, and artwork stay vibrant far longer.

View‑Through Clarity

Many light‑filtering fabrics blur the outside world, creating a frosted‑glass effect. Our premium constructions use high‑clarity yarns that preserve crisp detail. You’ll see leaves, branches, and skyline contours—not vague silhouettes. This is especially appreciated in homes with gardens, water views, or cityscapes.

Static‑Free Dust Repellent

Standard polyester builds static, which attracts dust. Our fabrics incorporate a permanent anti‑static additive that dissipates charge and reduces dust accumulation by up to 70%. Shades stay cleaner longer, with fewer wipe‑downs required. The treatment is non‑migrating and lasts for the life of the product.

Coordinated Blackout Options

For open‑concept homes, the Daylight Filtering Collection is designed to visually coordinate with our Eclipse Blackout Collection. Many colors and textures are available in both constructions, allowing you to maintain a unified palette across rooms with different light‑control needs. Designers love this continuity—and homeowners do too.
