Solar Screen and shade screen material

Solar screen or sun shade screen material is a special kind of fiberglass screening that provides shade as well as keeping insects at bay. It is weaved in such a way that it is more opaque.

Sunscreens have always been used in the hotter US States to provide shade from the sun. In the past the sunshades were made from aluminum. The new fiberglas Solar Screen gives us more options for using shade material.

Even if you dont live in a desert climate like Nevada, Solar Screens and sunshade material can make your screen porch a cooler place to sit. It will also keep the harmful UV radiation off you and your furniture to a greater degree than regular screening.

Even though it costs more than regular screen material, if it prevents you from having to buy seperate sunshades, then it is a bargain.

Solar Screen is a material that a do-it-yourselfer could install. It's pretty much the same as installing the thick Petscreen material. So long as you have the correct spline size, you should be fine.
