New houses on open ground with no tree cover
A newly finished estate has no mature trees, so the houses take direct sun from morning to evening — especially west-facing ones through the afternoon. Here, matching the fabric to the level you actually need matters more than going as opaque as possible. Blackout where a bedroom must be dark, but sunscreen at around 45 percent in a living room you still want bright: it cuts heat without forcing the lights on in daylight.
