Beautiful Fabric!!  Encased Roll up canister that holds the entire blind if you like the window completely open.  If you like some privacy and like natural light the striped view conducts that.  The sheer fabric strip filters a view outside and opens a lot of light threw the blind as to the solid fabric strip lets soft light threw but gives you privacy.  i even put the lights on at night and went outside to the windows to see if you can see threw them in any manor.  No only a lighted window you see but no shadows or any thing is seen threw them.  Id call that TERRIFIC PRIVACY.  Easy to install and took no more than 10 minutes each.  Very elegant on a Wooded window has a lot o character.  HIGHLY RECOMMEND.  I priced the same type and fabric in three stores and the least was $280.00 up to $325.00 so i see it as a exclusive purchase.. and I'm going to purchase more of them.
