Weaves used in this category.
Weave decides view-through as much as openness does.
- Basket Weave
- This pattern gives the best view-through of any weave pattern due to the equally-sized square openings created in the final fabric.
- Twill Weave
- This pattern has more identifiable room vs. street sides. Each yarn row is offset from the previous in order to give a diagonal rib pattern. Each of these diagonal lines is called a wale. The wale is most visible on the room-side.
- Satin Weave
- This pattern creates a dual-sided fabric with the intended street-side fabric being predominantly white, providing added heat protection. This pattern provides different interior room-side color schemes while maintaining exterior uniformity due to the white street-side appearance.
