EXTERIOR SUN SCREENS
Enhance Your Home with World Class Window Coverings Solar Screens!
Solar screens, also known as sunscreens, are a smart, energy-saving addition to your home that can help reduce utility costs by up to 40%! By blocking up to 80% of heat, solar screens can significantly lower cooling expenses while providing up to 90% UV ray protection. They also reduce indoor dust by up to 85% and improve your home’s thermal
performance by up to 25% in the winter – with added weather stripping for extra insulation.
Enjoy increased privacy and security with solar screens. Their design lets you keep shades open for natural light without compromising privacy, as they prevent visibility from outside during the day. Plus, they come in a pet-resistant material for durability. Beyond comfort and savings, solar screens enhance your home's value and may even qualify for utility company rebates in certain areas.
Fixed sunscreens, also known as exterior sun shades or architectural screens, offer several benefits for homes, particularly in terms of energy efficiency, comfort, and protection. Here are some key advantages:
Energy Efficiency: Fixed sunscreens block a significant amount of solar heat from entering your home, which can help reduce the cooling load on your air conditioning system. This can lead to lower energy bills, especially during warmer months.
Enhanced Comfort: By reducing glare and direct sunlight, fixed sunscreens make indoor spaces more comfortable. They maintain a steady indoor temperature and reduce hot spots, allowing you to enjoy a cooler, more balanced living environment.
UV Protection: Sunscreens can block a substantial portion of UV rays, which helps protect furniture, flooring, and artwork from fading and sun damage, extending the life of your interiors.
Increased Privacy: Fixed sunscreens can offer a level of privacy without blocking your view. This is especially beneficial for windows facing streets or neighbors while allowing natural light to enter.
Improved Curb Appeal: Customizable in design, fixed sunscreens add a stylish architectural element to your home’s exterior, enhancing its aesthetic value.
Eco-Friendly Solution: By reducing energy use, fixed sunscreens contribute to a lower carbon footprint, making them an environmentally friendly choice for sustainable living.
Durability and Low Maintenance: Often made from durable materials like aluminum or steel, fixed sunscreens are built to withstand outdoor conditions and require minimal maintenance, making them a long-lasting investment.
For regions with high sun exposure, fixed sunscreens provide a practical and stylish solution to create a more energy-efficient and comfortable home.

From inside the home, fixed sunscreens allow a soft, diffused light to enter, which can create a warm and pleasant ambiance without the harsh glare of direct sunlight. The view depends on the screen’s material, color, and design
Filtered View
While you can still see outside, the view appears slightly muted or filtered. Some details may be less distinct, but the outdoor landscape remains visible. This gives a sense of connection to the outdoors without the intensity of bright light.
Reduced Glare
By filtering sunlight, fixed sunscreens minimize glare on screens, such as TVs or computer monitors, making it more comfortable to work, watch, or read without needing to close blinds or curtains.
Natural Light with Privacy
The screen’s design often allows light in while providing daytime privacy. People outside will find it difficult to see in, but you can still enjoy the brightness indoors.
Cooling Effect
The filtered sunlight gives a cooler hue inside, making rooms feel comfortable and naturally shaded, which can also contribute to a calming atmosphere.
Overall, fixed sunscreens balance light, view, and privacy, enhancing the home’s comfort and functionality without fully blocking out the outside world.
