Custom Solar Screens in Henderson
Henderson gets the same punishing sun as the rest of the Las Vegas valley — over 300 sunny days per year and summer temperatures that regularly push past 110 degrees. That heat pours through unprotected windows, drives up your electric bill, fades furniture and flooring, and forces your air conditioner to work overtime. Solar screens are a straightforward fix: they block 80% to 90% of the sun's heat and UV rays on the outside of your glass, before it ever enters your home.
Why Solar Screens Make Sense in Henderson
Every home in the valley deals with the same basic problem: intense direct sun on south and west-facing windows for most of the year. Interior blinds and curtains don't solve it because the heat has already passed through the glass by the time it hits them. Solar screens stop the heat on the exterior side of the window, which is fundamentally more effective at keeping your home cool.
The difference shows up on your electric bill. Most homeowners see enough savings on cooling costs to pay for their solar screens within 1 to 2 years. Beyond energy savings, solar screens protect your carpet, hardwood floors, and furniture from UV fading, reduce glare on screens and TVs, and add daytime privacy — you can see out, but people walking by can't easily see in.
What We Build and Install
Every solar screen we install is custom built for your specific windows. We don't use off-the-shelf sizes or generic frames. Here's what's included:
- On-site measurement — we measure every window that will receive a screen to ensure a precise fit
- Phifer and Textilene fabrics — industry-leading solar screen materials available in 80% and 90% densities
- Multiple fabric colors — black, charcoal, brown, desert tan, and more to complement your home's exterior
- Frame color matching — aluminum frames in white, bronze, tan, black, and other colors to match your existing window trim
- Professional installation — screens are mounted securely and designed for easy removal if you ever need to clean your windows
Pricing
Most solar screens cost between $150 and $300 per screen depending on window size, fabric density, and color selection. Larger or unusually shaped windows may cost more. We provide free on-site estimates — no pressure, no obligation. You'll know the exact cost before we build anything.
We also clean existing solar screens for $10 per screen. If your current screens are structurally sound but dirty or dusty, cleaning is a fast and affordable way to restore them.
Fabric Density: 80% vs. 90%
The percentage refers to how much of the sun's energy the fabric blocks. An 80% screen blocks 80% of heat and UV while letting more light and visibility through. A 90% screen blocks more heat but reduces outward visibility slightly more. For west and south-facing windows that take direct afternoon sun, 90% is usually the better choice. For north-facing windows or areas where you want maximum natural light, 80% works well. We'll help you decide during your estimate.
Frequently Asked Questions
How much do solar screens cost in Henderson?
Most solar screens cost between $150 and $300 per screen depending on window size, fabric density, and color selection. We provide free on-site estimates after measuring your windows. Whole-home installations with multiple screens may qualify for volume pricing.
Do you clean existing solar screens in Henderson?
Yes. If your solar screens are structurally sound but dirty or faded from dust and hard water, we clean them for $10 per screen. If the fabric is torn or the frames are damaged, we can build custom replacements.
What density solar screen fabric should I choose?
We offer 80% and 90% density fabrics. 90% blocks more heat and UV but reduces outward visibility slightly more. For west and south-facing windows that take direct sun, 90% is usually the better choice. For windows where you want maximum visibility, 80% still blocks significant heat while keeping the view more open.
How long do solar screens last in the Henderson heat?
Quality Phifer and Textilene solar screen fabrics are built for desert conditions. With normal use, expect 10 to 15 years before the fabric needs replacing. The aluminum frames last even longer. Periodic cleaning helps maintain appearance and extends their useful life.
