Benefits of Our Solar Screens
Our solar screens perform where it matters most. From patios to large window spans, we build systems that improve comfort, protect your home, and make everyday living more enjoyable.
Protect Windows, Furnishings, and Interiors
Prolonged sun exposure can damage furniture, flooring, and interior finishes. By blocking UV rays before they hit your glass, solar screens help protect your home from long-term sun damage and fading.
Control Glare Without Closing Your Home Off
Harsh glare can make rooms uncomfortable and force you to shut blinds or shades. Our solar screens cut glare while preserving your view, so your home stays bright, open, and comfortable throughout the day.
Daytime Privacy Where It Counts
Solar screens provide privacy during daylight hours while still letting you see outside. It’s an ideal solution for front windows, patios, and areas where privacy matters without feeling boxed in.
Reduce Heat and Lower Energy Bills
Solar screens block up to 99% of UV rays and radiant heat before they enter your home. That helps reduce strain on your AC system, improve indoor comfort, and deliver real energy savings during Houston’s hottest months.
Smart Control Options Available
Motorized solar screens can be operated with the touch of a button. Open or close your screens when the sun is at its highest, or adjust them throughout the day for comfort and privacy.

Tailored Options Built for Houston Homes
Every home in Houston is different, and your solar screens should reflect that. From fabric selection to frame finish, each detail is chosen to improve comfort without complexity. Our team guides you through the options so you can choose what truly fits your home, not just what looks good on paper.
Premium Fabric Options for Real Sun Protection
We use high-performance fiberglass screen fabrics designed to handle intense Texas sun and daily use. These fabrics block UV rays, reduce heat, and cut glare while maintaining outward visibility, so your home stays bright without the discomfort. You can choose openness levels ranging from 1% to 10%, depending on how much light and heat control you want. Lower openness provides stronger sun blocking and glare reduction, while higher openness preserves more natural light and view.
Precision Housing and Rail Systems
Our solar screen housings and rails are built from durable T6061 extruded aluminum and finished with an exterior powder coat designed to withstand Houston heat and humidity. Each frame is custom-cut to your exact openings for smooth operation and a clean, finished look that lasts. We offer six standard color options, along with custom powder coating, so your screens blend seamlessly with your home’s exterior rather than standing out for the wrong reasons.

Frequently Asked Questions
Find answers to common questions about our screens, shutters, installation process, and smart home integration.
How much cooler will solar screens make my space?
Most homeowners notice a temperature drop of 10 to 15 degrees in areas shaded by solar screens, especially patios and windows exposed to direct sun during certain times of the day. Results can vary based on screen openness, orientation, and the amount of sun your home receives.
Will I still be able to see outside with solar shades installed?
Yes. Solar shades and roller shades are designed to reduce glare while maintaining outward visibility. You can still enjoy your view while gaining daytime privacy and a more comfortable indoor environment.
What color and fabric options are available?
We offer a range of fabric styles and colors to complement your home’s exterior, from subtle neutrals to darker tones that block more heat. During your consultation, we’ll help you check fabric options to find the perfect balance of light control and a beautiful finished look.
What should I expect during pricing and installation?
The price of solar screens depends on size, fabric choice, and whether the system is manual or motorized. Our team walks you through the entire process so you know exactly what to expect, with no guesswork or pressure when making design decisions.
Are solar screens worth it for Houston homes?
For many homeowners, solar screens are a smart investment because they improve comfort, reduce energy use, and protect interiors from sun damage. It’s an upgrade many neighbors choose once they see the difference in everyday comfort and long-term savings.
