EXTERIOR SOLAR SCREENS.

Mounted on the OUTSIDE of west-facing windows. Block 90% of solar heat before it ever hits the glass — the most effective solar control money can buy.

Why this matters

STOP HEAT
AT THE GLASS.

Interior shades reduce heat after the sun has already warmed your window glass. Exterior solar screens stop heat outside the window — about 3x more effective at reducing AC load. For west-facing rooms in St. George, SLC, and southern-exposure homes, exterior screens are the highest-impact solution.

We install fixed and motorized retractable exterior solar screens — Renson, Phantom Outdoor, Texas Sun Screens. Charcoal mesh is the standard color (preserves view, hides dirt).

FAQ

EXTERIOR SOLAR SCREENS QUESTIONS.

Exterior vs interior solar shades?

Exterior is roughly 3x more effective at reducing AC load — heat is stopped before it warms the glass. Interior shades reduce heat that's already inside the window.

Will it block my view?

Mesh is one-way — see out clearly, harder to see in. Standard charcoal mesh preserves outward view.

Cost per window?

Fixed frame: $400-$700. Motorized retractable: $1,200-$2,000+.

Aesthetics?

Some homeowners don't like the look of exterior screens. Retractable solves this — invisible when up.

How much heat reduction?

Tested 80-95% solar heat reduction depending on mesh openness. Real $300-$800/year AC savings on west-facing rooms.

Hail damage?

Aluminum frames + replaceable mesh. Mesh is hail-resistant up to 1"; severe hail can damage. Replaceable.
