heat and UV Rays before contacting the glass.
Glass tinting is an interior application that filters the light
but leaves your glass exposed to the heat.

from fading drapery, furniture and upholstery that bares the

|
| What makes us different from other companies? |
The biggest difference between solar screens is not the screen
material but the frame construction. We use only the strongest
frame material available which is 1" wide x 5/16, .024 gauge
frame, whereas inexperienced companies will use a 3/4" wide x
5/16 frame which can cause the screen to sag, bow, bag and/or
become loose over time.
How your screens are installed is also an important part of the
longevity of your solar screens and windows. Our expert
installers will examine your windows to find the correct
placement of screws and clips, if needed. This is done so that
you as the homeowner will be able to remove and install the
screens with ease.
