Nano 50

Enjoy refreshing outdoor breezes and clearer sightlines with gentle sun protection. Woven in the USA by Twitchell, Nano 50 is a lightweight, open-weave solar screening fabric engineered to filter out heat and glare without darkening your living space or making window openings feel enclosed.

Crafted from high-tenacity vinyl-coated polyester yarns in a 17 x 14 weave density, Nano 50 provides approximately 50% sun blockage. It delivers the ideal balance between light shading, bug protection, superior ventilation, and high optical transparency—making it the perfect choice for scenic windows, wide porch enclosures, and motorized shade screens.

Twitchell backs Nano 50 with a 15-year limited warranty for both fixed and operable shading systems, ensuring reliable exterior performance that stands up to sun, rain, and wind.
