see through? I need to know if people can see in through these shades, and how much light does it block?

I think it may depend on the color you chose. I bought the wheat and covered a pergola roof and made curtains with it. At night you can see a few stars and the moon. during the day the sun does shine through but it blocks enough that it doesn't blind you if you look at it. I've heard others say that the darker colors will provide more shade but depending on the grade you purchase it my not provide as much uv protection. The curtains have folds in them so they block more light. However I really like being able to pull them flat and see the sunset in the evening. If you want total block, Coolaroo won't do it alone. You'll probably need to use some sort of backing material. You could double the layers and they might be enough with some of the darker colors but not with the wheat. Hope this helps.

You cannot see through this. It completely blocks the view. We also just didn't like the way it looked and ours came with ties only -- no Velcro -- so it was difficult to attach. However, if you just want a piece of canvas to block the sun, it will do that.

IT is see through, but it is tinted. If there is a light on you can see through it easily. if there is no light behind it, then it is difficult to see through. Like a tinted car window

Yes you can See Through very well. You won't be disappointed. Worth it. Hope this helps.

I am sorry. I don't know if they specifically block blue light. I use them only when on the computer. I was experiencing pretty significant eye strain before getting the glasses. Now it is almost non-existent. I continue to be very pleased with these glasses for computer use. Sorry to not be able to answer regarding blocking blue light.

These are definitely not see through. They are gray on the outside and a darker color on the inside to prevent this.

I use these as sunglasses for events I wear them to, they do a good job blocking the sun b/c of the dark tint. However, they have no UV protection and partially block your peripheral vision. And don't wear them in shaded areas, they're too dark to see well in anywhere other than daylight.

I got them in the bright blue (so it should be a close shade) and it is not see through at all. it shows sweat only very slightly, and you have to be looking for it. hope that helped

People can't see my eyes through them. They are the darkest sunglasses I've been able to find so far. I have albinism with a high sensitivity to light and I would recommend these. Though, if they came even darker, I wouldn't be offended. Hope this helps.

No you can't see through it, these panels are made of thick rice paper so the light does shine through but you can't see what's on the other side per se.

They should not bee see through - I just ordered them again a few months ago and did not have that problem. I would email the company - it sounds like they were either defective or your received the wrong item.

Hi Eric! The white will show through a bit of light, though the others keep the majority of the light hidden. A bit will peek through, though it will be a lot less than without the covers. As some customers have mentioned here, it's all a matter of preference and may depend on how much light you need. Apologies if that is a bit vague. If there's anything else, just let me know. I can be contacted directly via this link:

It dims the light. However if your wanting a total non see thru shade. This isn't it. If your a seamstress or know one. You could have an outdoor fabric attached to the inside view. And that would solve privacy issue. A solid color close to the shade color would be nice. Hope this helps ya out :-) It is The Best by far @ blocking out the sun... Couldn't sit on screen porch in afternoon before purchasing 2 of these.

They are opaque. During the day from inside you can see out but it's like looking thru a heavily tinted window, from outside you can't see in. At night with lights on you can see in from outside. Not like a clear window but you can make out what is inside. I hope this helps

they're not perfect. they do a pretty good job blocking out ambient light. the best way is to try them out for yourself each room and viewing environment Is different. you could always return them if they're not satisfactory.

Yes! I have tried other types of shades, and the one that pulls down like a shade I had a hard time seeing, but this one is like looking through sunglasses. I feel safe driving and looking through these. They can make air bubbles and may not be perfectly smooth, but from the inside, you cannot tell, it does not interfere with looking through them. It may just look sloppy from the outside. I highly recommend these.
