Solar Window Screens
Our solar window screens are top-notch. They are custom-fitted to match the shape and size of your window, whether it's rectangular, circular, or another shape.
The window screens in the picture are all made out of 80% fabric, with white framing. These solar window screens for this home are made out of black 80% fabric and white framing.
By looking at these pictures, you can see that with this 80% fabric, you can see a little past the fabric and see the wood shutters on the inside of those windows. This shows that there is some transparency for the 80% fabric.
Unlike window tinting, which only provides shade for the rays inside the home, our Austin, TX solar window screens actually provide shade for the glass and window to reduce heat coming in.
Here’s an example of our use of the chocolate 80% solar window screen fabric with tan framing. This shows the use of the chocolate fabric and tan frame solar screen on top of white window frames. We chose to use the tan frame solar screen because the tan works well with the bricks of this home. That tan color is in the same family of colors as the bricks of this home.
We often get asked, "What does it look like when you use tan framing on top of white window framing, with some of that white window framing still showing?" This picture here is a great example of this. It’s a perfect picture to show exactly what the tan framing and white window framing look like together.
Take a look at that beautifully molded arched window. Take a look at the arched solar screen that we made to perfectly follow the perimeter of this arched window.
In this picture, you'll see that we installed metal turn clips 30 inches from the bottom of the window on both the left and right sides of each screen. The screens were installed using the tracks that the windows have. We placed leaf springs at the top of the screens to hold them in the top track. The screens have smaller lips at the bottom, and to prevent them from coming out, we used center clips.
The likelihood of strong winds dislodging these well-installed screens is minimal.
Solar screens from the Austin TX Shade Team can help cool your home and keep you relaxed all summer long.
Roller Shades
We custom manufacture, measure, and install each of our roller sun shades to fit your outdoor patio, door, or other space perfectly.
Our roller solar shades offer high quality at a low price, providing comfort to your patio, porch, or pool area.
As the manufacturer and installer of our own custom patio shades, we offer unbeatable pricing to you.
Here’s a picture below that shows two 11 ft wide exterior roll down shades. These are not roll up or roll down awnings, but rather roll up and roll down shades. We made these shades using our 90% solar screen fabric. When I installed these roll down shades, I positioned the clutches so they were back to back meeting in the middle over that post. This allows the resident to roll the shades up and down while standing in one position, eliminating the need to go to the left or right side of the shades to lower or raise them. Additionally, by installing the chains over that post, the resident won't have to pull the chain up and down against the brick wall, which could rough up their knuckles. Placing the chains in the middle makes it easy for the resident to lower and raise these roller shades.
When you look at this picture, you can see a clear illustration of the contrast between 90% shade and 0% shade. Against the brick wall, the area shaded by our 90% solar screen fabric is indicated in red as "90% shade." The unshaded area, where there is 0% shade, is receiving direct sunlight. The difference between 90% shade and 0% shade is significant.
For more pictures, you can visit our Exterior Patio Roll Shades Gallery.
For the above illustrated chocolate and black fabric, the maximum shading option available is 90%.
If you are interested in the beige fabric or the beige and white fabric, the beige fabric offers a 97% shade, while the beige and white fabric offers shade options of 92% and 97%. If you prefer a lighter color, we can provide even more shade than the 90% option.
I strongly encourage the use of a 97% shade fabric. The shade difference between 97% and 90% is significant.
The shades come with nine-inch ball bungee cords attached to the bottom left and bottom right corners. These bungee cords are used to secure the shades to hooks on the wall and the middle post. It's important to secure the shades because they have a large surface area and can be easily blown around by powerful winds. If not secured, they may knock over nearby items.
"Keep in mind that patio shades are not intended to be left down all the time". Manual shades like mine should be lowered when needed and raised when not in use. Mother Nature's wind is too powerful, and over time, it will cause the clutch to fail from constant pushing and pulling.
Please keep in mind the following information:
While these shades will be secured very well, they are not designed to withstand strong winds. No patio roller shades are contrary to what a sales-person may tell you. It's crucial to understand the force of the wind when it encounters a large surface area like this. Additionally, these shades are intended for temporary use, not for providing shade all day, every day, and they should not be left down all the time. Leaving the shades down overnight during a strong wind storm can lead to potential problems in the morning. It's important for people to recognize the power of the wind.
We will assist you in determining the best location to install your roller shades, the appropriate fabric density, and the ideal color to complement your home's exterior.
