Do you know how to choose the shading degree of curtains?

Blackout curtains are essential for every household. Installing curtains indoors plays a lot of roles, not only to protect privacy, but also to block the sun. But everyone seems to be not very familiar with the shading rate of curtains.
What determines the shading rate
① Thickness:
The thicker the fabric, the higher its shading rate. When buying curtains offline, you can simply judge the thickness of the curtains by touching them.
②Auxiliary shading
Curtains with high shading will add some auxiliary shading things inside the curtains.
There are two common types of silk and coated curtains.
How to judge the shading rate of curtains
Use the "transmission box method" to measure the shading rate of the fabric. This is a judgment method that meets the requirements of the International Commission on Illumination. The living room emphasizes enough natural light, so the shading rate of the curtains does not need to be too high, generally around 40%-60% is enough to meet the functions of heat insulation and dust prevention.
Natural light is of great benefit to human health, so it is not recommended to choose full blackout curtains. Most people's bedroom curtains can be protected from sunlight with a shading degree of more than 70%.
What is the shading rate of curtains
The shading rate of hotel curtains is generally 100%, and the shading rate of home curtains can generally reach 80%-95%.
Curtain shading rate:
The shading rate of the curtain is 10%, as thin as a cicada's wing, very transparent, can block ultraviolet rays, and has good permeability of visible light.
The shading rate of curtains is 20%, translucent and hazy, and most of the yarns are about 20% shading.
Curtains with a shading rate of 30% are relatively hazy, which is a thick yarn series;
The shading rate of the curtains is 40%, which can block more than 95% of ultraviolet rays to protect the furniture. When the curtains are closed, there will be no glare from the sun, and it will not affect the lighting itself. It is suitable for children's rooms, restaurants, etc.
The light in the bedroom is very important.
The light in the bedroom is too dark, which will affect human health.
The light in the bedroom is too bright, which will cause people to sleep poorly.
Therefore, the shading rate of bedroom curtains is about 80%.
