Privacy Screen Fabric
Soltis Proof 502 Fabric for Toronto and the GTA
Soltis Proof 502 is the blackout fabric in the lineup, built for projects that need complete visual privacy, light blocking, and a more enclosed feel.
A Blackout Fabric for Total Privacy and Stronger Enclosure
Soltis Proof 502 is used when a standard privacy fabric still leaves too much light or view-through. It is fully opaque, making it the strongest choice for projects that need true day-and-night privacy or a stronger weather barrier on selected sides.
In Toronto and the GTA, this fabric is often used on projects where the opening backs onto very close neighbours, faces a public area, or needs to feel more enclosed during shoulder-season weather.
Why Choose Soltis Proof 502
Best for blackout privacy, light control, and stronger enclosure work.
Complete Visual Privacy
The opaque construction blocks sightlines from either side much more completely than any woven privacy fabric.
Block Light and Glare
It is useful when the space needs full shade or light control in addition to privacy.
Support Stronger Weather Separation
The fabric helps create a more enclosed feel on openings that need wind or weather buffering rather than breathable screening.
Useful for Specialized Work
It can be a strong match for patios, hospitality projects, and selective sides of outdoor rooms where full privacy is non-negotiable.
How It Works
How We Plan a Soltis Proof 502 Project
-
Review the Opening
We start with how the opening is used, how exposed it is, and what the biggest privacy, sun, or weather problem actually is.
-
Choose the Fabric
We look at how Soltis Proof 502 handles privacy, airflow, and visibility so the material matches the way the opening should feel in daily use.
-
Match the System Details
Once the fabric makes sense, we pair it with the right screen size, operation type, and mounting approach for the structure.
-
Finalize the Layout
We confirm which openings should use this fabric and whether any sides should use a different material for a better overall result.

Fabric Questions
Soltis Proof 502 FAQs
Is Soltis Proof 502 the right choice for every privacy screen project?
No. It is a specialized fabric for projects that need full privacy or stronger enclosure. Many standard patio and pergola projects are better served by SunTex 95 or SheerWeave 4800.
What is the main difference between Soltis Proof 502 and SheerWeave 4800?
SheerWeave 4800 is still a woven privacy fabric with filtered daylight. Soltis Proof 502 is fully opaque and is used when the project needs blackout privacy or much stronger visual separation.
