Top Ten Reasons To Install Solar Screens

Top Ten Reasons to Install Solar Screens
10. The sun's energy is absorbed by the open weave design of the fabric and then dissipated through the holes in the mesh as air moves through it. The sun is deflected before it hits your glass.

9. Exterior sun shading stops the heat before it enters the home, like having a shade tree in front of every window in your home.

8. Blocks 90% of the visible sunlight and heat which is responsible for 44% of the heat gain in your home or office.

7. Stops 90% of the UV Rays from entering your home which can cause fading of valuable furnishings, carpet, and artwork.

6. Provides daytime privacy. Blinds, drapes, and shutters can be left open and nobody can see into your home.

5. On average, 90% of the sun’s rays and heat are blocked from entering the home, that is not an "up to" number, that is the average with the sun at all profile angles. With a high profile angle of the sun in the southern or western sky the blockage is almost 100%!!

4. Can be removed in the winter months to allow solar heat gain for passive heating of the home and to clean your windows. You can’t remove window tint or window film in the winter months.

3. DOES NOT void the window warranty of window manufacturers. The majority window manufacturers will void their warranty if tint or film is installed. Solar Screens does NOT void the window warranty.

2. Provides a third layer of insulation for double pane windows making them 15% more energy efficient in winter time.

1. Will not make your home darker. Now you can leave your blinds, drapes, or shutters open all day instead of being closed and losing all of your visibility. The net effect is more light into your home, energy savings, lower cooling bills, utilizing a Green product, helping out the environment.

Top 10 Reasons NOT to Buy Window Tint or Film

10. The Shading Coefficient, or the percentage of solar heat gain that is transmitted to the interior of your home, is 5 to 8 times worse with window tint or window film versus solar screens.

9. Overall cost of window tint or window film is 30%-50% more than solar screens to install.

8. The metal in window film is a natural conductor of heat and although infrared and visible light are addressed, conductive heat can negate the reflective qualities of window tint or window film and actually cause more heat to enter the living space.

7. With the new lines of clear window films, there is a high probability of future window cleaning causing permanent scratches on the tint or film, or dissolve the adhesion because the cleaner can't detect its' presence!

6. Need care when cleaning to never use anything abrasive or you will cause permanent damage to the film or tint.

5. Tint is permanently attached to the window and can never be removed without considerable time and expen$e.

4. Can cause thermal shock fracture when installed on insulated glass windows caused by an increase of heat and pressure between the panes of glass. This is why window manufacturers void all warranties!

3. If not installed correctly the customer can see visible lines and bubbles. Even if tint or film is installed correctly – tends to bubble, peel, and crack after a few years of exposure.

2. Voids the warranty on the majority of manufacturer's window warranties.

1. Window tint doesn't block as much visible light heat as solar screens. The sun is still striking the glass causing heat gain in the living space.
