Are Hunter Douglas solar shades the right solution?

We have two casement windows on either side of the rangetop in the kitchen. I am trying to balance having as much light as possible in the kitchen, but add some privacy from the street and from our neighbor's backyard. I'm leaning towards the Hunter Douglas solar shades in either the 3 (sheer) or 5 (very sheer) level. Our neighbor has the shades in the 3 level. I understand it will not block the view from the outside at night. I'm not fond of the shades that fold down from the top. Because they are right next to the rangetop, I am mindful of fabrics and cleaning. Would you recommend the Hunter Douglas solar shades? Or another product? Thanks!!!

Here are the windows on either side of the range top.

Here is our friend's level 3 solar shade. We would do ours in white.

    Solar shades are a great way to block the glare and add privacy during the daylight hours. You are correct that they do not offer privacy at night. I am glad you have seen them at your neighbor's home, so you can understand the function exactly. What you want to look at is the % of view through that the fabric has. This will be 1%, 3%, 5%, 10%, 0r 14%. The higher the number, the more view through, but also more light coming in. I usually recommend a 3 or 5% view through to cut glare, add daytime privacy, but still be able to see out.
