What are solar screens?

Solar screens are designed for sun control and are created of a unique window screen mesh material. The filters absorb heat and dissipate it before it starts warming your home. The shades will cool down a room up to 15 degrees and are useful for a wide variety of purposes. Not only do they lessen that painful glare from the Sarasota sun, but they also reduce heat from entering your home or patio. With an 80% to 90% light blocking rate, solar screens provide maximum protection from the sun and at a low cost. Motorized and retractable screens can be installed inside or outside, with a wide variety of options.

Relieve energy costs

Running your air conditioner in Florida is very costly; luckily with Solar screens, some of these costs can be alleviated. Cooling costs are reduced by 30%-35% by having solar screens installed to exposed windows. Being one of the most inexpensive solutions available, you will see your “payback” in energy savings at just around a year.

Solar screens vs. window tints

Unlike solar screens, window tints reduce glare, but they have a collective effect on the actual temperature. They diminish glare while also combatting heat and bugs. Solar screens are operable as well, so you won’t have to make any significant commitments. Your screens will slide up and down with ease.

Protect interior furnishing

Acting as a sunscreen for your home. The screens block out harmful UV rays from the sun that can fade your furniture, and curtains among other belongings. So, you will save money by keeping your items fresh for longer.

Winter advantages

Solar screens will eliminate glare and act as an additional insulator to your windows. Installing Sunshades can also help you save during this time by protecting your home from heat loss. Which, in turn, you won’t have to run your heat so often. Another advantage is if you decide you want to let more sun in, you can adjust your shades to your desired preference.
