Once The Sun Hits The Glass, It’s Too Late To Control Heat Gain!

 

Solar Screens Are Like A Big Shade Tree!

The most effective way to control the sun's heat and glare is to stop it before it enters your window. Once the sun's rays enter your windows, they are absorbed and begin to radiate throughout the room in the form of heat. Much like a big shade tree, exterior shading will reduce your cooling costs, reduce the load on your air conditioning, and will eliminate glare and fading.

Sun Striking Unprotected Glass Will Produce 230 BTU’s Per Square Foot!

 

Solar Screens Are The Leading Choice For Sun Control!

In the summer, most unwanted heat gain comes in the form of sunlight radiating through unprotected glass. This glass is a building's most vulnerable area for heat gain. In fact, 60 square feet of glass can admit as much as 13,800 BTU’s of heat each hour requiring one extra ton of air conditioning. Controlling this solar heat gain is extremely important in energy conservation and passive solar design. Phifer Suntex is a vinyl coated polyester exterior solar screen that blocks up to 90 percent of the sun's heat and glare before it reaches the glass surface. Solar Screens are the leading choice for sun control among architects, builders, and homeowners. Unlike interior window treatments, like drapes, blinds, shutters, tint, or even double glazing (which can absorb and then reradiate the sun's heat), Solar Screens absorb and dissipate up to 90 percent of the UV rays, heat, and glare before it reaches the window.

Solar Screens Block Up To 90% Of The Sun’s Heat!

 

Reduce The Load On Your A/C!

On a typical home, windows account for nearly 50% of the heat gain, this in turn places close to 50% of the workload on your air conditioning system. That’s more than the roof, walls, and attic combined! Untreated windows will allow about 20 times more heat into your home than an equal amount of insulated wall space. By controlling the way the sun’s energy enters your home, you can save on summer energy bills and take advantage of “free” heating in the winter months by removing your solar screens.

Solar Screens Will Solve Your Cooling Problems and Save You $$!

Solar Screens Block The Heat – Not The View!

Solar Screens are exterior mounted window screens that shade your window and glass area. Because your window glass conducts heat similar to a magnifying glass. Solar screens block the sun's rays before they contact the glass surface. Because of this type of shading, they are seven times more powerful than any other interior window treatment, including tint, blinds, shutters and drapes. Solar screens can be effective on all glass areas of the home, regardless if the window location is in direct sunlight or not. By installing solar screens all around the home it will maximize your utility savings and maximize your interior room comfort.
