Custom Solar Screens in Summerlin
Summerlin homeowners deal with the same desert sun as everyone else in the Las Vegas valley — over 300 sunny days per year, summer highs above 110 degrees, and relentless UV exposure that heats up your home, fades your interiors, and runs up your electric bill. Solar screens are a practical, cost-effective solution. Installed on the exterior of your windows, they block 80% to 90% of the sun's heat and UV rays before they pass through the glass.
The Problem Solar Screens Solve
When the sun hits your windows directly, the heat transfers through the glass and into your home. Your air conditioner has to work harder to compensate, and your electric bill goes up. Over time, UV rays fade carpet, hardwood floors, furniture, and artwork. Interior blinds and curtains help with glare, but they don't stop heat transfer — the heat is already inside by the time it hits them.
Solar screens work differently. They sit on the outside of your window and intercept the sun's energy before it reaches the glass. This keeps the glass itself cooler, reduces thermal stress on window seals, and means your HVAC system doesn't have to fight as hard. Most homeowners see energy savings that pay for the screens within 1 to 2 years.
What's Included
Every solar screen we install is custom built to fit your specific windows. Nothing is off-the-shelf. Here's what you get:
- On-site measurement — we measure every window individually for a precise fit
- Phifer and Textilene fabrics — available in 80% and 90% densities, with multiple color options including black, charcoal, brown, and desert tan
- Color-matched frames — aluminum frames in white, bronze, tan, black, and other colors to match your window trim
- Professional installation — securely mounted and designed for easy removal when you need to clean your windows
Pricing
Most solar screens cost between $150 and $300 per screen depending on window size, fabric density, and color. We provide free on-site estimates with exact pricing — no guessing, no hidden fees. You'll know the cost before we build anything.
Already have solar screens that just need cleaning? We clean existing screens for $10 per screen. Dust, pollen, and hard water buildup reduce the screens' appearance and can restrict airflow. A professional cleaning brings them back to like-new condition.
Which Windows to Prioritize
If you're not ready to do every window at once, start with the ones that take the most direct sun. South and west-facing windows get hit hardest, especially during summer afternoons. These are the windows where solar screens make the biggest difference in comfort and energy savings. You can always add screens to the remaining windows later.
