Privacy
Solar shades by design will not provide full privacy at night time or when it's dark outside. Even at a low transparency such as 1%, the shades are designed to be see through to whichever side has more light. This means that during the day, you can see outside while having privacy, however, at night time when the lights are on inside, you will lose privacy.
Light Gap
The Fabric Width is narrower than the Finished Shade Width of the tube and its components or Cassette Valance.
| Control Type | Light Gap per Side inches (cm) |
| Exterior RF Motorized Lift | 15/16 (2.4) to 1 3/16 (3.1) |
