WHY SOLAR SCREENS?
- Will keep your home or office up to 30% cooler
- Will Save Hundreds of Dollars per year on your electric bill
- Can pay for themselves in one cooling season – ROI is GREAT!
- Easily removed for cleaning
9. Exterior sun shading stops the heat before it enters the home, like having a shade tree in front of every window in your home.
8. Blocks 90% of the visible light heat which is responsible for 44% of the heat gain into a home.
7. Stops 90% of the UV Rays from entering your home which can cause fading of valuable furnishings.
6. Provides daytime privacy, blinds can be left open and nobody can see into your home.
5. Blocks on average 90% of the heat entering the home. Wiith a high angle in the southern sky the blockage is almost 100%!!
4. Can be taken off and removed in the winter to allow solar heat gain for passive heating of the home and cleaning of the window.
3. DOES NOT void the window warranty for the majority of window manufacturers.
2. Provides a third layer of insulation for double pane windows making them 15% more energy efficient in winter time.
1. Doesn't make you home darker, now you can leave your blinds open all day instead of closed like they are now, actually the net effect is more light into your home!
9. Overall cost of window tint is 20%-50% more than solar screens to install.
8. The metal in window film is a natural conductor of heat and although infrared and visible light are addressed, conductive heat can negate the reflective qualities of tint and actually cause more heat to enter the living space.
7. With the new lines of clear window films there is a high probability of future window cleaning causing permanent scratches on the tint because the cleaner can't detect its' presence!
6. Need care when cleaning to never use anything abrasive or you will cause permanent damage to the film.
5. Tint is permanently attached to the window and can never be removed without considerable time and expense.
4. May cause thermal shock fracture when installed on insulated glass units because of undetected manufacturing defects of the insulated glass unit itself. The heat and pressure caused by the tint my exasperate the defect.
3. If not installed correctly the customer can see visible lines and bubbles.
2. Voids the warranty on the majority of manufacturer's window warranties.
1. Window tint doesn't block as much visible light heat as solar screens.

Sun screens work by stopping the sun’s rays before they hit the glass (Sun hitting glass will produce about 230 BTU’s per square foot of glass) – this is how heat gain in the room is reduced
- Block out 80% or 90% of the sun’s radiant heat
- Reduce temperature in rooms by as much as 20 degrees
- Savings of 25% - 30% on summer cooling bills is typical!
- Provide privacy from outside, same visibility from inside
- Cut glare for added comfort
- Blocks almost 100% of the sun's damaging UV rays, thus protecting furniture, flooring, carpets and artwork
- Allows ventilation and acts as an insect screen too!
- Fits almost any window size or shape – even arched windows
- Custom grid work is available to match the existing grid on your windows

EXTERNAL SHADING IS THE MOST EFFECTIVE HOME TREATMENT TO COUNTER THE SUN'S EFFECTS - Shading the exposed window and doors can reduce temperature by as much as 20 degrees. Interior solar window shadings such as indoor window film or blinds or insulated drapes do not block, reflect or absorb the solar rays before they pass through the glass. The results are simple, heat builds up!

According to independent studies, Phifer Suntex stops more heat and is stronger than other polyester or fiberglass sunscreens. Phifer has been making sun control products since 1957. Phifer Suntex is the #1 selling sun screen in America. The screens will not become brittle, fade or tear like other polyester or fiberglass suncreen fabrics. Phifer Suntex is designed to have a predetermined amount of elasticity to insure it will remain static year around. It won't bag in cold weather or tighten up in the heat of summer like other "knock off" polyester products.
Phifer Suntex is available in 5 different colors. Gray, Brown, Black, Stucco and Butterscotch.

We use a true 5/16" x 1" dimensional .024 frame. It is the strongest roll form aluminum frame available on the market. It is designed specifically for solar screens. This product costs more but is worth it. All larger windows require this frame. We also have a variety of frame colors available to accent your brick and / or trim - White, Tan, Champage, Bronze, and Silver (for older windows).
Some companies use a 3/4" frame. It is just a heavy insect screen frame and is not designed for most double hung insulated glass units. We use only solid external corners, not loose internals or non-solid externals. Our corners assure that the screens will stay just the way that they were purchased.
On all track type windows, we use only solid metal clips. We won't use nylon, plastic or dyecast. Those break after a few months of sun and weather. The metal clips won't break. They are held in place with a zinc plated, powder coated 1/4" head tek screw that matches your frame color. We use "top of the line" hardware.

Do you offer custom gridwork?
Yes. We custom make all of our grid work. Our grids will fit any shape, size or pattern. This is a service that many companies do not provide.
Can you do special applications?
Yes. Please call with questions on any custom applications. It has been our experience that most other companies either lack the knowledge or product to perform these special services.
We don't cut costs. We place a lifetime warranty on all our screens for workmanship and material.
Do not be misled by imitators or people offering you less for "bargain prices". You get exactly what you pay for. Your home is the largest investment you will ever make. You deserve quality work and professional service.
