Openness percentage, also known as openness factor or opacity, indicates the degree of openness, density or tightness of the fabric weave, affecting the amount of light that can penetrate through the shade, i.e., 1%, 3%, 5%, 7%, 10%, and 14%. It can also be defined as the ratio of open space or holes to the total surface area of the woven mesh fabric.<\/span><\/p>\n

Openness percentage of <\/span>RV solar shades<\/span><\/a> means the level of UV protection, privacy, and view you\u2019ll get on your campervan. For example, an RV solar blind with 10% openness will block out 90% of the sun\u2019s rays, while letting in 10% of the sun\u2019s soft brightness.<\/span><\/p>\n

Openness factor typically scales between 0% & 14%. Lower openness (1%, 3%, & 5%) will provide better sun protection and privacy but less light and view-through. The reverse is true for higher opennesses (12%, 14% and above). The medium opennesses (7% and 10%) provide the perfect balance of everything, from brightness and UV rejection, to privacy and view-through.<\/span><\/p>\n
