Solar Screen, 48 Inches x 100 Feet Roll - UV-Resistant Replacement Screen for Windows and Doors - Charcoal

The New York Wire 36102 Charcoal Solar 85 Screening, 36-Inch by 84-Inch is a perfect solution for our south facing door that causes our kitchen to bake and broil depending on the temperature and season. Due to the heat that streams in through our glass storm door, we would usually have to close our wooden door, totally blocking out the lovely breezes that so often drift across our front yard and into the kitchen. This screen blocks out the heat and the blazing sunshine while allowing the breeze to flow in. I purchased sticky black velcro tape and stuck the tiny plastic hook tape to the top of the storm door, just under the "arm hardware unit". I stuck the fuzzy tape to the top of the screen and then used a zig zag stitch on my Singer to reinforce the bond to the screen, which took less than a minute. The screen adheres perfectly to the tape on the door. I rolled up the extra screen at the bottom of the door and fastened it in a tiny roll with large paper clips. This gives a rigid edge and weights the screen down but still allows the screen to float enough to permit air to flow in. I can still see everything out side and I no longer have to worry about the paint on our antique wooden door heating up and cracking. This was a successful, inexpensive solution to a long term problem.

the best you can get in my opinion its very strong, the mesh is so tight it keeps everything out .....and its a great privacy addition hard to see in from outside, even rain doesn't get in near as much as with others, it does however also cut down on the air flow and sun isn't so strong either. so have your fans ready if on outside structure in summer heat ...but in cooler months not as cold either,,, its a great product for us....

Strength and quality in this product. This is my first time doing solar screens. I don’t do this for a living. Easy to use. Looks great on the house.

This was used for replacement screen in an outside window. Since it is made for rugged use, it will last much longer than the light weight screening normally used.

I had to replace the screens on our rental house between tenants. I had the frames already. I picked up some spline and a roller at the local store- but ended up reusing the spline from the old screen. This was my first attempt at screens so I had a few beers and got to work. It took me about 20 mins to do the first one- 60x54. It looks really good. Pay attention that you have the grid lines straight or your screen will look a little funny. I did 3 screens. I ended up having Ace do the other two. I had run out of the mesh and it only cost me 35 to have them rescreen my frames (and build two frames). By the time I could have reordered this and done the work myself, Ace was a better option. I would definitely order this again, it's good quality, thick screen. It keeps the AZ sun out a little but you can still see through it fine. If you're debating doing it yourself or hiring it out because of the difficulty....you CAN do it yourself. I am somewhat of a handy lady but this was seriously easy. It did save me money doing it myself, although Ace was decently priced and got it done in a day.

I've been living like a vampire with car shades from the 99 cent store to block out the VEGAS sun in my apt. DEPRESSING! Ordered 2 rolls...48/84. GREAT PRICE! Tried to attach screen in center window with redneck duck tape. Didn't stick to screen. So I folded material over top and stapled screen in between. Then used duck tape to attach to metal on window frame. Used existing screens on side and striped paper off of twist ties and threaded screens together to hold in place while I got them back up. DON'T use tape on paint! You will have to use your GOD given imagination to make this work. But it sure looks better, doesn't it! My poor body hurts from head to toe. Hope you have someone to help you. Screens easy to cut. Really blocks out the sun. Just hope they stay put. Now I can actually enjoy my beautiful courtyard. I did my front bedroom window also. Ran out of screen, so I just cut car shades @ 10" each and taped lengthwise on inside of window frame to take up slack. Also had to use some stick pins to adhear screens to material under the duck tape. If anyone has a suggestion to attach to inside of window with no screen...I would love to hear it.

I tried for a few yrs to figure out a way to block the sun from my east facing windows, it would heat up the front of house in summer, and then the west windows at the end of the day. I didn't want it to be permanent because i utilize the same principle to warm my home in winter. I also didn't want to spend close to 200 a window for awnings as I have 7 on the east side and 3 on the west. After racking my brain I started "googling" and came across a website touting Solar screens. With a kit to buy. After more research I found this along with some 3M super outdoor velcro and made my own. I cut to fit outside of whole window, affixed the velcro after wiping down with rubbing alcohol. Let me tell you! It absolutely works. The difference in heat on the glass surface is amazing. As fall approaches I can peel these off velcro and roll up til next summer. The reason why I did not use these like a traditional screen is it would do no good as mounted. I have half screens on my double hung windows and on my windows that roll out the screens are behind the panes.

The two center panels in the photo show the difference between these solar screens and the originals in our screened porch. It's a lot like looking through polarized sunglasses. Easy to work with and seems durable, this was a significant upgrade to our porch and I'd buy it again in a heartbeat. I'd recommend checking with Saint-Gobain customer service for their recommendation on spline size for your application. A very accurate .xxx" or .xxmm groove dimension will get you the right answer. The .125 spline was perfect for my application.
