The answer is YES; a dark screen fabric can help improve visibility outside and the light inside.
How is it possible that dark screen fabric can offer these technical benefits?
The truth is, the explanation is very simple. When light shines directly onto a white screen, such as from a lamp, we see that it scatters the light much more widely throughout the room. With a dark-coloured screen, the light interacts with the fabric, but in this case we reduce the glare and gain better visibility of the outside.
Where should this type of screen be installed?
It is an ideal option for south-facing windows on the façade; this is the part of the house that receives the most sunlight, so it is a solution worth considering to improve the living space in that part of the home.
As we can see in the image, we have a clear view of the entire outside, and the view of this courtyard does not obstruct our sight.
At the same time, with this fabric, we gain:
- Privacy inside our home.
- An improvement in the amount of natural light we want to let into the home.
- Better thermal performance from the fabric.
To achieve this improvement in home temperature, dark fabrics are always recommended for the exterior, whether for awnings or external curtains. The black colour of the screen fabric for these products helps us maintain a stable temperature inside by absorbing all the heat and preventing it from penetrating into the home.
Which products can I use screen fabric on?
Dark screen fabric is recommended for use in both indoor and outdoor roller blinds, in awnings of any type, and in ZIP curtains for outdoor use.
