Quality Solar Screen Co. - Frequently Asked Questions

1. Why should I get Solar Screens instead of window film or awnings?
According to studies, Solar Screens offer three times the heat blockage compared to
window films. Solar Screens do this by blocking the heat before it ever reaches the window.

2. Will Solar Screens block my view?
Solar Screens are great for allowing outward daytime visibility, while at the same time
blocking outsiders from looking in.  Suntex 80 allows the best outward visibility.

3. Will Solar Screens darken the rooms?
Suntex 80 Solar Screens still allow plenty of light to come in. The light that passes through
is softer on your eyes and does an excellent job reducing that awful glare on your television
set. Our clients have also told us their plants do well with Suntex 80 Solar Screen material.
Suntex 90 may noticeably darken rooms, but if you have a glare problem Suntex 90 may be the fix.

4. How much will Solar Screens save on my electric bill?
Studies show savings up to 30-35% on the "cooling portion" of the electric bill (results will
vary). Many times the screens will pay for themselves in as little as 2-3 years.  They
reduced our own electric bill about $60 in the hot months.

5. Are your Assembled Solar Screens any different than parts hardware stores carry?
Yes, in many ways. For one thing, sizes are very limited in those "Do it Yourself Kits". The
aluminum frame is also much thinner, the corners are exposed plastic vs. our mitered metal
corners, and we carry only the best Phifer Suntex  solar screen material. You also need the
right tools to create a screen that will last. Our screens are professionally factory
manufactured to a nice fit and a quality finished product.

7. How is the quality of your Solar Screens Kits?
All of our Solar Screen Kits include the Heavy Duty One-Inch frame. Using the heavier frame helps do-it-yourselfers avoid the common problem of bowing the frame while rolling in the solar screen material. Our solar screen kits include same tension springs, lift tabs, centerbar and centerbar clips that we use in our factory made screens. The only difference is that we include 'External' corners to make it easier to measure and assemble for the typical homeowner.

8. Can I still open my windows?
Yes, properly installed Solar Screens do not interfere with the window operation and there is little restriction in airflow as well. You can still enjoy those cool breezy days.

9. Do Solar Screens reduce fading?
Absolutely, Solar Screens will drastically reduce the damaging UV rays from entering your
home and ruining your fabrics, carpet and wood floors. Quality Solar Screen Company
carries the patented Patented Suntex that blocks up to a whopping 90% of those harmful UV rays.

10. How fast can I get your Factory Made Solar Screens?
Manufacturing time for Custom Made Solar Screens is normally about 7-14 business days in the busy summer time. Sometimes as little as 5-7 business days in our off season months. Shipping is via ground freight and takes an additional 1-5 days depending on your location.
