Lutron OmniaScreen Silver Fabric
6 colourways, openness 3%, solar screen, up to 110 inches wide. Every swatch and every specification, from a certified Lutron dealer in Fort Lauderdale and Miami Beach.
An aluminum-backed 3% screen for the hottest glass
OmniaScreen Silver is a 3% screen with an aluminum-lined back: 75% vinyl and 25% polyester on the face, a metalized coating behind. Whatever the face colour (Charcoal/Dark Grey, Charcoal/Charcoal, Charcoal/Bronze, White/White, White/Beige, White/Grey), the published solar reflectance is 75%, which is the figure a light-coloured screen reaches and a dark one never does. It is 110 inches wide, seamable and railroadable, and listed to NFPA 701, DIN 4102 B1, M2 NFP 92-503 and EN 13501-1 B-s2,d0.
It is at the top of Lutron's price scale and is cleaned by dusting and vacuuming only. GREENGUARD and lead-free certifications apply, and Lutron publishes a GreenGuard Gold document for it.
What OmniaScreen Silver does on your glass, and what it does not
Best use
Unshaded glass with nothing in front of it: a top-floor west wall, a south-west corner over the water, a sun room, a room with a television and a window on the same side. All six colourways publish the same 4% visible transmission and 4% solar transmittance, so choose the face for the room and expect identical performance. One openness at 3%, and no tensioned version for a skylight.
Privacy
Uniform, and better than most screens by day. At 4% visible transmission the room is hard to read from outside in daylight whichever face you pick, and the metalised back sends 75% of the solar energy straight out again, which is most of what a passer-by sees. Night is no different from any other screen: lamps on, room visible, so a media room or a bedroom needs a blackout layer too.
Glare control
Consistent across the card. Every colourway publishes 4% visible transmission at 3% openness, so a monitor, a television or a laptop stays readable with sun on the glass and the room goes even rather than dim. There is no looser version to get wrong. What no screen does, this one included, is remove a low sun once it has dropped into the window frame.
Limitations
The roll is 110 inches, narrower than most of the screen range, so a wide slider becomes two shades with a light gap at the joint. Cleaning is dusting and vacuuming only, which keeps it away from a kitchen window. There is one openness factor and no bright, open version of it. It is also the costliest screen in the library, worth it only on glass that needs it.

Where OmniaScreen Silver works here
This is our recommendation for the west wall that nothing else has tamed: the afternoon Intracoastal exposure in Fort Lauderdale, the bay-facing glass in Brickell, a home theater with a window. A charcoal face keeps the view and the room stays cooler than with any conventional dark screen, because the heat is reflected at the back of the fabric rather than absorbed.
OmniaScreen Silver: frequently asked
Does the silver back show from outside?
From the street the shade reads as a light, uniform metallic grey, which most associations accept. We can show you an installed example and order the sample to hold against your glass before you commit.
How wide can a Lutron OmniaScreen Silver shade be?
Lutron publishes a maximum usable fabric width of 110 inches for OmniaScreen Silver. It is railroadable, so a wider opening can be covered in one piece by turning the fabric. We confirm the exact limit for the chosen system when we measure.
Which Lutron shades use OmniaScreen Silver?
OmniaScreen Silver is made up on Lutron roller shades. As a certified Lutron dealer in Fort Lauderdale and Miami Beach we order it for any Lutron system it is offered on and install it with our own team.
Can I see OmniaScreen Silver samples before ordering?
Yes. Lutron makes memo samples of every OmniaScreen Silver colourway on this page; tell us which colours you are considering and we order them from Lutron for your consultation. Both our Fort Lauderdale workroom (by appointment) and our Miami Beach showroom have Lutron shades running so you can see the fabrics in motion.
