​​​​​​​​Here's a quick summary:

​

• Solar window screens are exterior shade screens that cover the entire window and are installed as one per window.

• Solar window screens are available in either 80% shade or 90% shade options. We recommend using the 90% shade fabric for windows that receive four or more hours of sun per day, such as the west-facing windows. For other windows in the home, the 80% fabric is suggested. When we assess your home, we will use a compass to determine which windows would benefit most from the 90% shade fabric and make that recommendation to you.

• Our solar window screens come in six shade fabric color options: black, dark chocolate brown, mocha brown, beige, stucco, or grey. We also offer five different framing color options for you to choose from. Typically, it's best to match the solar screen frame with the color of your window framing. However, in some cases, it can look aesthetically pleasing to outline your solar screens with a different color frame to match the exterior trim color of your home. Don’t worry, we are very good at helping to pick colors for each home, so we’re here to assist with this process. Take a look at our gallery to see many examples.

• Solar window screens will replace your current bug or insect screens. We will remove your current screens upon the installation of our custom hand-made solar screens.
