Exterior Solar Screens for Patios and Windows

Solar screen fabric filters the Arizona sun before it reaches your patio or glass, cutting heat and glare while you still see out.

Heat and Glare Control

Solar Screen Installation in Mesa

We install custom exterior solar screens on patios, windows and open exterior walls across Mesa and the Phoenix metro area. Each screen is measured to the opening on site and built with the fabric that fits how you use the space, in manual or motorized versions.

Solar screens are one of the fabric choices on our retractable shades, and they pair well with a patio cover overhead or interior shades on the glass behind them.

Why It Works Here

Why Solar Screens Work in Arizona

Solar screens stop much of the sun's heat outside the glass, which is where it does the least harm.
  • Glare Control That Keeps the View
  • Less Heat Gain on Sun Facing Glass
  • Manual or Motorized Operation
  • Measured Opening by Opening

Keep the View

Solar screen fabric cuts glare while preserving your view of the outdoors.

UV Protection

Screen fabrics cut UV before it reaches furniture, flooring and people.

Cooler Rooms

Blocking sun outside the glass helps keep indoor temperatures down on hot afternoons.

Shade When You Want It

Lower the screen when the sun hits, raise it when you want the open view back.

Motorized Options

Remote, wall switch or smart home control, with manual options where you prefer them.

Repairs Later On

Torn mesh or a failed motor can be repaired by our team.

Arizona Considerations

Screens Sized to the Afternoon Sun

West and south facing patios and windows take the strongest sun in the Valley. We look at orientation, overhang depth and how late you use the space, then recommend the fabric openness that balances heat, glare and view for that opening.
  • Fabric openness chosen for each elevation
  • Measured on site before any recommendation
  • Regular dusting and mild soap keeps fabric clean
  • Mesh and motor repairs available later on
