Solar Screens
Our Products Solar Screens
Take the edge off the sun.
Exterior solar screens help cut glare and heat before sunlight reaches the glass. We fit screens for homes in Round Rock and the greater Austin area, especially where afternoon sun is hardest to live with.
Direct sun
Exterior mesh
Window glass
Shade starts outside the glass.
A fitted mesh screen sits on the outside of the window. It softens direct light while preserving a view out, and it can add daytime privacy when it’s brighter outdoors than inside.
Start with the windows that get the strongest afternoon sun. We can also talk through suitable openings on doors or porches.
How much sun do you want to screen?
Phifer SunTex® 80 and 90 are exterior meshes. The denser weave offers more shade and admits less light.
SunTex 80
Up to 80%
Solar heat and glare blocked, according to Phifer. Compare this more open weave when you want to keep more daylight.
SunTex 90
Up to 90%
Solar heat and glare blocked, according to Phifer. Compare this denser weave for windows with stronger sun exposure.
These are manufacturer ratings. Actual performance depends on the window, orientation, and installation. See Phifer’s product details.
Match the mesh to your home.
Compare the screen color against your window frames, trim, and masonry. Black, brown, grey, and stucco are a few places to start.
