No. Shade Shield's Window Solar Screens are made from screen fabric that weaves its strands with uniformed spacing. This prevents the screen from distorting or blocking your view. From a distance of about ten feet it is difficult to tell if you have solar screens on your windows. Window Solar Screens give you great day time privacy while maintaining excellent outward visibility. So, go ahead and open those blinds and curtains to allow a softer natural light to come into your home without the worry of people being able to see inside. However, at night time the light source reverses, this will then allow people to see in. So, we recommend closing your blinds or curtains during the evening hours.
