Tailored Performance
Screen options for every environment
In the exterior shading industry, fabric numbers represent the percentage of solar heat, glare, and UV rays blocked by the screen material. The remaining percentage is referred to as the openness factor — the amount of visible space within the weave itself. Higher-density fabrics feature a tighter weave for increased heat rejection and daytime privacy, while lower-density options prioritize outward visibility and airflow. Vanish offers a range of high-performance screen weaves designed to support different comfort levels, lighting conditions, and environmental needs.
1-3% openness: These high-density fabrics block 97% to 99% of total solar radiation. They provide the highest level of daytime privacy, maximum heat mitigation, and optimal glare reduction, with a slightly reduced outward view.
5% to 10% openness: These balanced fabrics block 90% to 95% of solar heat and UV rays. They provide excellent glare control, premium heat mitigation, and sharp, clear outward visibility.
20% openness: These high-airflow fabrics filter 80% of solar heat and glare. They provide the highest level of natural ventilation, gentle light filtering, and exceptional outward clarity.
FAQs
Yes. The primary function of an insect screen is to keep mosquitoes, flies, and gnats out while allowing maximum fresh air and natural breezes to flow into your space. For standard pests, our premium insect screens provide an excellent balance of airflow and protection.
Not at all. High-clarity insect screens are engineered specifically to maximize airflow. Unlike heavier solar or vinyl barriers, insect screens allow the breeze to pass through effortlessly, making them the ideal choice if your primary goal is fresh air ventilation without the bugs.
If you have active pets, we recommend upgrading to a specialized heavy-duty polyester-coated mesh insect screen, which is engineered to resist scratching and tearing while maintaining great visibility.
Our motorized systems utilize precision-engineered side tracks and a weighted bottom bar fitted with a specialized rubber or brush seal. When fully lowered, this seal eliminates any gaps along the patio floor, ensuring that crawling insects cannot bypass the screen.
The choice comes down to your primary goal. If you simply want to enjoy fresh air, feel the afternoon breeze, and keep bugs out of your home or patio, you should choose an insect screen. If your main problem is intense afternoon heat or blinding sun glare, a solar screen would be a better fit.
