With the Tavarua Sunscreen Bamboo Roller Shades, there’s a wide selection of different colors and types of stain. Their Akita version of the roller shade has a 20% openness factor, the Bamboo Palm offers a little more privacy with a 10% openness weave. The Sendai weave is available with an 8% openness factor.
