light filtering
Screening incoming rays
Light filtering describes materials or treatments that allow some natural light to pass through while reducing glare, UV rays, or visibility.
The term appears most often in discussions of window coverings like blinds, shades, and curtains that soften incoming sunlight without blocking it entirely.
Light filtering shades give us privacy during the day while still brightening the room.
Unlike blackout options, light filtering materials create a diffused, gentle illumination rather than complete darkness.
