Solar Sun Screens by Gulf Coast Insulation  
Solar Screens are the most cost effective treatment to lower your energy bills in your Texas home. Solar Screens work by stopping the heat transfer that occurs through your windows and doors without compromising your view. We offer several solar screen options ranging from 60% to 90% heat blockage.
All of our solar screens are guaranteed to look great, stand up over time, and keep your home cooler which will save you money on your utility bills.
Sun screens work by stopping the sun’s rays before they hit the glass (Sun hitting glass will produce about 230 BTU’s per square foot of glass) – this is how heat gain in the room is reduced.

Top Ten Reasons to Buy Solar Screens
10. Sun's energy is absorbed by the open weave design of the fabric and then dissipated through the holes in the mesh as air moves through it.
9. Exterior sun shading stops the heat before it enters the home, like having a shade tree in front of every window in your home.
8. Blocks up to90% of the visible light heat which is responsible for 44% of the heat gain into a home.
7. Stops up to 90% of the UV Rays from entering your home which can cause fading of valuable furnishings.
6. Provides daytime privacy, blinds can be left open and nobody can see into your home.
5. Blocks on average 90% of the heat entering the home, that is not an "up to" number, that is the average with the sun at all angles, with a high angle in the southern sky the blockage is almost 100%!!
4. Can be taken off and removed in the winter to allow solar heat gain for passive heating of the home and cleaning of the window.
3. DOES NOT void the window warranty for the majority of window manufacturers.
2. Provides a third layer of insulation for double pane windows making them 15% more energy efficient in winter time.
1. Doesn't make you home darker, now you can leave your blinds open all day instead of closed like they are now, actually the net effect is more light into your home! | Top Ten Reasons Not To Buy Window Tint
10. The Shading Coefficient, or the percentage of solar heat gain that is transmitted to the interior of your home, is 5 to 8 times worse with window tint versus solar screens.
9. Overall cost of window tint is 20%-50% more than solar screens to install.
8. The metal in window film is a natural conductor of heat and although infrared and visible light are addressed, conductive heat can negate the reflective qualities of tint and actually cause more heat to enter the living space.
7. With the new lines of clear window films there is a high probability of future window cleaning causing permanent scratches on the tint because the cleaner can't detect its' presence!
6. Need care when cleaning to never use anything abrasive or you will cause permanent damage to the film.
5. Tint is permanently attached to the window and can never be removed without considerable time and expense.
4. May cause thermal shock fracture when installed on insulated glass units because of undetected manufacturing defects of the insulated glass unit itself. The heat and pressure caused by the tint may exasperate the defect.
3. If not installed correctly the customer can see visible lines and bubbles.
2. Voids the warranty on the majority of manufacturer's window warranties.
1. Window tint doesn't block as much visible light heat as solar screens. |
