The higher the shading rate of privacy screen, the better?
The fence privacy screen is a kind of fabric with high shading rate, which can be fixed on the fence of the courtyard to block the sight of passers-by and create an independent privacy space. Because the fence privacy screen can perfectly solve the problem of privacy leakage and can create a space for the family to avoid being disturbed, it is favored by more and more families.
At the same time, the application range of the fence privacy screen is becoming more and more extensive. Because it is a plastic fiber woven fabric, it has very good outdoor shading and protection properties. The privacy screen can be fixed on the fence, whether it is a wooden fence or a metal fence or even a wrought iron fence. It can not only block the line of sight, but also has a certain degree of protection, which can fill the gaps in the fence and prevent some small animals from entering. It can also be used to block wind, reduce noise, and block snow. It can also be used as a roof or floor mat for outdoor sun protection.
So is the shading rate of the fence privacy screen the higher the better?
Before solving this problem, we must first understand what shading rate is.
The shading rate refers to how much light will be blocked when a certain intensity of light passes through the object or cloth. The higher the shading rate, the lower the light transmittance. These two values add up to 100%. Generally, the shading rate of the privacy screens we use is generally above 80%, and the highest can reach 98%.
So knowing the concept of shading rate, let’s look at the conditions that affect the shading rate of the privacy screen.
Because plastic materials are all translucent, generally privacy screens will add color to the plastic to increase the shading rate. Our common colors are black, dark green, blue, and beige. Among them, black has the highest shading rate, followed by dark green, blue is the second, and beige has the lowest shading rate.
Then there is the polyethylene fiber of the privacy screen. There are two common types, one is mono type and the other is tape type. Tape type has a higher unfolding area, so it has a higher shading rate. Tape type has higher shading rate, but lower tensile strength. Generally used in agriculture. Mono type has better tensile strength and is stronger, but the same shading rate will be heavier. For the same 80% shading rate, the tape type needs 80g, while the mono type needs more than 120g.
Once again, weaving patterns. The higher the weave density, the higher the shading rate. At the same time, the higher the weave density, the higher the weight. Generally, the fabric of about 120g can reach 80% shading rate.

So, we got three elements, color, fiber shape and pattern. So, is the higher the shading rate, the better?
The answer is obvious, of course not that the higher the shading rate, the better. The privacy screen should have sufficient tensile strength and beautiful appearance while being able to establish a visual barrier. This is the key to our choice.
Therefore, the popular fence privacy screen is dark green, mono type, shading rate is about 80%-90%, and the weight is about 120g.
The balcony privacy screens are mostly in some better-looking colors, beige and blue, mono type, shading rate is about 80%, and the weight is about 160g.
These are the best options. On the premise of having a sufficient budget, you can also choose a higher weight, which will have a better fixing and protection effect.
