Home Window Screens

If the sun blinds you in the morning or evening, install window screens to reduce the glare and keep your home cooler during the day. The sunscreens at Glass Doctor of Waco, TX block up to 70% of the sun’s harmful UV rays, but don't impede air circulation or sacrifice your view out of a window. In addition to allowing natural light to enter a room, the screen's tight weave provides privacy and a barrier against insects. Use the screen during the summer to prevent heat gains and in the winter to guard against heat losses.

Benefits of Window Screens

1. Reduced cooling costs: Up to 30% of the cooling costs in a home are the result of solar heat gains. Screens are one of the most efficient and effective ways of reducing energy transfers and glare, as the mesh reflects the sun’s UV rays and absorb its heat. Screens can lower temperatures in your home by up to 15 degrees.
2. Improved HVAC performance: Because solar screens reflect heat, your air conditioner doesn’t have to work as hard to keep your home comfortable. This translates into less wear and tear on the cooling system and lower energy bills.
3. Prevent sun damage and fading: When sunlight shines through standard windows, it fades and discolors furniture, carpeting, curtains and other home furnishings. Solar screens block up to 90% of harmful UV rays while allowing natural light to enter a room, reducing the sun damage to your property.
4. Economical upgrade: If you’re on a budget, window screens are an economical way to improve your home’s energy performance.
