Round Rock Solar Window Screens


Solar window screens are the ideal option for shading your windows and eliminating the heat transfer caused by the sun’s penetration, as well as aiding in protection from the sun’s harmful UV rays that may enter your home.



The Austin Shade Team specializes in measuring and installing custom solar window screens for every window in your home. We have 18 years and over 6,000 residential installations of experience. We provide various density and color options, ensuring that you won't have to compromise on your home's appearance.


Here’s what a solar window screens looks like. This is a solar window screen that we are about to install on a horizontal sliding window, which is a window that slides left and right. For most horizontal sliding windows, the solar window screens must be directly screwed onto the outer edges of the window frame. This method of attaching the screens is minimally invasive and is always applied to the outer framing of your window. Our direct screwing method will never obstruct or penetrate the window glass. We are skilled in working with these windows and understand the exact location where the glass meets the frame, ensuring that we will not damage the glass.

This image features three individual windows placed side by side. Each window measures 35 inches wide by 96 inches tall. Together, these windows create the appearance of one large window, although they are actually three separate units. As a result, three distinct solar window screens are required for each window.

To ensure that the large solar window screens stay securely in place, it's important to use a clip in the middle of each screen. Once installed, the screens will hold up against the window effectively. However, this clip serves a crucial purpose: whenever someone other than us removes the solar window screens, they must turn the clip. This action ensures that the screens remain properly seated against the window.



When people remove solar window screens, they often grab the outer edges of the frame midway up on either side and pull them out. This action can slightly bend the solar window screens outward. As a result, when they try to reinsert the screens into the windows, they may not fit snugly against the window frame anymore because of the bowing. If the screens are not pushed against the frame completely, strong winds can get behind them, potentially causing the screens to be pulled out.


To prevent this issue, we use turn clips. As long as you continue to use these clips to hold the solar screens tightly against the window, you won't have to worry about them being dislodged during windstorms.


Our transparent and efficient solar window screens offer an affordable solution to keep your Round Rock home cool throughout the summer.

Roller Shade Screens for patios in Round Rock


Ideal for your Round Rock backyard patio, our roller shade screens are among the most popular and effective ways to shield yourself from the sun.


Our roller shade screens, offering lengths up to 99”, can be installed in your outdoor space to provide comfort during the midday or evening when the sun is at its strongest.


Our patio shades are not designed for full-time shade and are not intended to shade windows. To shade windows; that is what solar window screens are for.


Here’s a picture that shows four 90% external roller shades. These roller shades are designed to extend down to the chair railing for the customer's two patios. Since these exterior patios face due west, the customer found it difficult to enjoy the outdoors in the afternoon due to the intense sunlight. With the installation of these exterior roller shades, the patios now receive 90% shade.


The shades can be easily adjusted using a stainless steel chain and a heavy-duty exterior-grade clutch. Their design is straightforward and manual, rather than motorized, which keeps the cost significantly lower than a motorized system. Overall, these exterior roller shades are a great shading solution for homeowners.
