Solar Energy is one of the many well known sources of renewable energy. But did you know that there are other forms of solar to better serve your home or business? Solar screens are one of the options to take part on to make your home a more energy efficient home to save money. Solar screens have many other benefits besides cutting your energy costs. They can also block the sun’s heat and UV rays which can greatly reduce your power bill, reduce carpet and furniture fading, and can even stop dust from entering your home. So yes, we are trying to say that you won’t have to clean as often too! For further information on solar screens and their benefits, it would help to continue on reading.

Why choose Solar Screens?

Sun Control Screens absorb and dissipate a large percentage of solar heat and glare before it hits the windows and doors – this keeps the glass and interior cooler. Of course you know that we are going to tell you that Solar Screens are going to help cut energy and money off your electric bill, 30 to 35% to be exact, especially in the hot months of July and August. Many Sun Control Screen payback period estimates fall between two and three cooling seasons. A University of Texas study predicts a 32% savings for an average home.

Solar screens are made out of Phifer material and the frames are aluminum so you won’t experience nasty rust like we are prone to here in South Texas. Solar Screens are suitable for both home and business, and are each uniquely different to your window. Even those odd shaped windows with arches are not a problem for us because these are custom fit to any window. The option to choose from 5 different colors and solar grade types gives you the option to pick where on the home you would like this unique product. The view from the inside out is easy and attainable to see outside with ease, but will give you privacy from the outside in.
