Frequently Asked Questions

 

1. What are solar sun screens?

Solar sun screens are specially designed window screens that block 80–90% of the sun’s heat and harmful UV rays before they enter your home. They help keep your house cooler, reduce energy bills, and protect your furniture and flooring from sun damage.

2. How do solar sun screens help with energy costs in Arizona?

By blocking a large portion of the sun’s heat, solar screens reduce the strain on your air conditioner. Many Arizona homeowners see noticeable savings on their monthly energy bills after installation.

3. Can I still see out of my windows with sun screens installed?

Yes! Solar sun screens are designed to reduce glare and heat without blocking your view. You can see outside during the day while enjoying added privacy since it’s harder for people to see in.

4. What are bug screens, and how are they different from sun screens?

Bug screens are mesh screens installed on windows and doors to keep pests like mosquitoes, flies, and even scorpions from entering your home while allowing fresh air to flow in. Unlike sun screens, bug screens don’t block as much heat or UV rays—they focus on pest protection.

5. Do I need both sun screens and bug screens for my Arizona home?

Many homeowners in Arizona choose to have both. Sun screens are ideal for windows that get heavy sunlight exposure, while bug screens are perfect for doors and windows where airflow is most important. Together, they help maximize comfort and protection.

6. How do bug screens help with Arizona pests?

Arizona is home to mosquitoes (especially after monsoon rains), gnats, flies, spiders, and even scorpions. Bug screens act as a barrier, blocking pests from entering your home so you can safely enjoy fresh air without worrying about unwanted guests.

7. Will sun screens or bug screens change the look of my home?

Both types of screens can actually improve curb appeal. Sun screens come in a variety of colors and frame options to complement your home’s style. Bug screens are subtle and blend seamlessly with your windows and doors.

8. Are screens easy to maintain in Arizona’s desert climate?

Yes. Both sun screens and bug screens are low-maintenance and built to withstand Arizona’s harsh sun and weather. A simple rinse with a hose a few times a year is usually all that’s needed to keep them looking clean and functioning properly.

9. Do sun screens and bug screens add value to my home?

Absolutely. Energy savings, pest protection, and improved comfort are all features potential buyers appreciate. High-quality screens are considered an attractive home upgrade in Arizona.

10. How long do sun and bug screens last?

With proper care, professionally installed sun and bug screens can last many years in Arizona’s climate. Most are made from durable materials designed to resist fading, warping, and tearing.
