  • Pricing depends on the size and number of windows, but most homes average around $70 per screen for a quantity of 10 or more.

  • You can choose between 80% or 90% solar screen protection, depending on how much heat and glare you want to block. Color options include black, dark brown, tan, and bronze.

  • Yes. Solar screens help reduce the amount of heat entering your home, which can lower cooling costs and reduce strain on your HVAC system. Savings vary by home and exposure.

  • Solar screens can be safely removed and reinstalled if needed for exterior home projects such as painting, window repairs, or remodeling. We can also assist with reinstallation if required to ensure proper fit afterward.

  • 1. Percentage

    Customers can choose either an 80% or a 90% screening fabric shade? The difference in the percentage

    refers to how much sunlight and heat the screen blocks.

     80% solar screens block 80% of the sun’s heat and glare while allowing in more natural

    light and maintaining a clearer outward view.

     90% solar screens provide maximum heat and glare reduction, increased daytime

    privacy, and better energy efficiency, but they also darken the room slightly more.

    Homes with intense afternoon sun or west-facing windows often benefit from 90% screens, while many

    homeowners choose 80% for a brighter interior feel.

    2. Color

    Customers can choose between a variety of colors such as black, dark brown, tan, or bronze for their

    solar screens. The best color depends on your home’s style, sunlight exposure, and personal preference.

    Darker colors like black or brown generally provide better outward visibility and glare reduction, while

    lighter colors may blend more with the home’s exterior. We can help recommend the best option based

    on your home and goals

  • Absolutely! By reducing the heat entering your home, solar screens can help lower your cooling costs and

    reduce strain on your HVAC system.

    Savings vary depending on your home, window exposure, insulation, and climate, but many homeowners

    experience noticeable reductions in cooling costs during hot months. Solar screens can significantly reduce heat

    and glare, helping your HVAC system work more efficiently.

  • Yes. Bug screens are designed to allow airflow while keeping mosquitoes and flies out, especially during cooler evenings. Solar screens are designed to block heat and UV rays while reducing glare and improving energy efficiency.

  • Most installations are completed within 5–7 business days after placing an order. We measure your windows first, then return for installation about 5 days later.

  • We typically have availability within a few days, depending on demand. Once you reach out, we’ll work to get you scheduled as quickly as possible for a measurement and consultation that fits your timeline.

  • Yes. We regularly work with homeowners to meet HOA guidelines and aesthetic preferences. We can adjust color, density, and frame style to ensure your solar screens comply with neighborhood rules while still matching your home’s look.

  • No. Solar screens vary in material quality, durability, frame construction, and installation methods.

    I use a high quality Phifer Suntex material which is the industry recommended standard to offer the most

    effective heat reduction. These higher-quality screens typically last longer while providing a better overall

    appearance.

  • During the daytime, solar screens increase privacy by making it more difficult for people outside to see into

    your home. At night, when interior lights are on, visibility inside may increase just like standard windows.

  • Most homeowners notice a softer and more comfortable natural light rather than a dark room. The amount of

    shade depends on the screen and color selected. We can help you choose the right option based on your comfort

    and lighting preferences.
