Description

Reduce energy costs by installing Solar Screens for Windows

Is it really hot in the summer? Is the sun blaring through your windows, and blinds just aren’t enough? We have the solution: Solar Screens for Windows! What is a solar screen? It’s a fixed window screen that mounts across the entire width & height of a window to reduce the heat from blaring into your windows and doors.

It is easily installed with screws, latches, and clips. Some installers even use heavy-duty mounting Exterior Velcro to mount them.

Exterior Solar Screens are Custom to Size & Specification

All solar window screens are custom-made to size to fit your window. We recommend matching the frame with your existing windows. For example, white vinyl windows should use a white frame.

The Suntex 80 or 90 Solar Screen material comes in 6 different colors. Pick the color that best matches your house, but remember that the darker colors do absorb more light. Therefore, the darker solar screen mesh provides a better view through your windows where sunscreens are installed.

Additional Facts about Solar Screens

  • Exterior Solar Window Screens, also known as Sun Screens or Shade Screens, are cool! Sun-blocking window screens reduce the temperature by an average of 14 degrees.
  • Windows are one of the largest sources of heat gain in your home, and solar window screens can play a critical role in heat reduction by blocking up to 90% of the sun’s radiation from entering through the window.
  • Unlike films or glass coatings, window solar screens can stop the sun’s heat and glare before it contacts the glass. Dark window screens won’t always block sunlight unless it’s a solar window screen.
  • Therefore, buy a custom solar screen today!

    Best Custom Screens Shop is absolutely the best!! I called to ask how long it would take to custom make a Solar screen I saw on Pinterest and They said a week, which was exactly what I wanted to hear. Everywhere else told me 2 months. Their pricing was also lower than the other places I called, so it was a win-win for me.

      Any negative reviews you may see are because of shipping delays and unfortunate circumstances. We appreciate every customer and always strive to do our best. Customers like yourself are truly appreciated because you took the time to write an amazing review. I appreciate it. Installation in the local area requires our installer to be there and service the homeowner with their needs.

    The screens were packed in a sturdy wood frame to protect them from shipping mishandling. The screens improved the appearance of outside of the house and the darker screen added privacy during the day.

Your product will arrive as a high-quality, easy-to-assemble kit to keep your shipping costs affordable and prevent transit damage.
