Solar Screens on Limestone Home, Austin - Texas

A Solar screens installation by Affordable Screens & Glass 512-358-1560

This homeowner chose solar screens in bronze for their limestone home in Austin, Texas. Solar screens and screening frames are available in a variety of colors.

The homeowner chose the silver frames for her windows, while I would have chosen a dark frame. However, it turned out beautifully and made the windows pop. I'm rather partial to our local limestone and I like these limestone bricks with the bronze solar screens.

I can't see it in the picture, but the bronze solar window screens carry a hint of warmth, unlike a true black, so they blend well with this color palette. Very pleasing results on this solar screen install for this beautiful Austin home.

We used Phifer's SunTex exterior screening mesh for our solar screens. Phifer solar screening materials is manufactured in the U.S.A. and carries a 10 year exterior warranty.

About this solar screen installation:

We love the juxtaposition of the dark solar screens against the warmth of the stone. This solar screen example photograph was snapped just as the cold snap blew in. We've gone from enjoying warm upper 70's to freezing rain in Austin this week. This may be our last arctic blast, at least I hope so. And, if it is the case that spring has sprung it's time to think hard about upgrading to solar screens.

Solar Screen Round Rock | Solar Screen Install

Solar screen installation Round Rock 80% Dark Bronze

This is an example of one of our recent solar screen installations in Round Rock Texas. This home in particular benefits greatly from solar screens.

Note the western sun on the front facade of the home. Texas homes that face West are particularly vulnerable to the sun's heat and benefit greatly from solar window screens. They benefit because solar screens shade the windows and prevent the sun's heat energy from entering the home. Much like a shade tree.

The small tree in the yard does nothing to prevent the sun's heat and energy from entering the home. Perhaps in 10 years. Solar screens solve the problem now and the home will be much cooler this summer.

Scientific studies show that solar screens can save up to 25% of a home's cooling costs. That's real savings you can put in your pocket for years after a solar screen installation.

Solar Screens Insulate Windows

Winter is coming, and we experience great variations in temperature as cold fronts blow in and dissipate.

Variations in temperature mean that we may turn on the AC one day, and then the heater the next. Solar screens help homeowners save by insulating windows any time of year, thus reducing heating and cooling costs.

Solar screens insulate with convection

Convection is the flow of thermal energy through gas or liquids.  Liquids and gases are not very good conductors of thermal energy. 

Solar screens utilize the same principle as double paned windows

Liquids and gases are so bad at transferring heat or cold that they are considered thermal insulators. This is the same principle behind the use of double paned windows because air, a gas, resides between the two panes of glass and acts as an insulator.

Insulate the weak point: windows

Windows are our weakest point in the battle to keep the interior of the home heated in the winter and cooler in the summer.

This image taken using an infrared camera (from energy.gov) shows red and yellow where heat loss occurs during winter. By insulating our windows we shore up this weak point and save on heating and cooling costs.

Solar screens equal year round savings

Solar screens keep your home warmer in the winter and cooler in the summer. Solar screens work by insulating windows and are useful year round for reducing heating and cooling costs.

Austin: Is Your Back Porch Screened & Ready?

Screens are a necessity in Austin, we simply can't open our windows to enjoy the beautiful weather without them, and once they are torn or ripped troublesome insects seem to find their way in.

Below is an example of a custom, Austin, re-screen project for an older porch. Re-screening is available for almost any window or porch project.

Austin Affordable Screens & Glass custom porch re-screen project

About this Custom Austin Porch Re-Screen

This project is a special case because this old 70's era back porch in Austin is split into varying sized 'windows', requiring a custom build solution.

Note the lighter colored wood surrounding each screen in this in progress image of the porch re-screen above.

These lighter colored wood splines are placed on either side of the screening material to hold it into each window. Later, the entire porch was repainted. Just visible to the left of the porch is the screen door which also has a new insect screen.

Repair a Torn Screen

For this project we used standard aluminum screening material.

Solar screens are also another popular option in Austin. Solar screens make a great choice when re-screening because they also provide shade.

In either case, whether it is solar screens or standard screens, each protect from bothersome insects and debris.
