[MrEd]

who did you or who would you recommend. what about pricing,i know everyones home is diffrent but what did you pay for your solar screens, how many wndows etc.?

prices can vary depending on style, size, and type of sunscreen material used. You might consider doing it yourself if your handy. You can use your existing frames or buy new stock material and build them up yourself. Its pretty easy and the most expensive thing will most lilkely be the screen material.

Lonestar Solar screens in Irving did my house, I did about 30 windows in my home (half of the house) and it was around $1400.00, they came out and did everything, lifetime guarantee. I've been here 8 yrs and no problems...'H'

i guess you have to use your old frames?

Yes, thats the easiest way because all you have to do is remove and reline them with screen material. You can also buy new frame stock at Home Depot or Lowes. It comes in a couple of different sizes and colors and is cheap. I know they have bare alum, white, and brown. They also have the plastic corner pices to join the sections together.

Several of my windows were the same size, I setup a piece of plywood to do them on. I tacked thin wood stops to make sure they stayed put, and also placed them on the INSIDE of vertical members. If you're not careful, it is possible to stretch the material enough to create a bow or hour-glass affect in the frame. Once you do one you will be a professional.

My house faces the south and I get a lot of sun on the backside of the house in the evening. I liked the sunscreens so much I made custom screens for my flat glass skylight and the long glass in my back door.

They did mine also and love them. I went with the darkest and had the gridwork added.

I did the darkest as well, but no grid. I've had some hellacious storms, wind, hail, ice, snow, hot ass sun, no problems...'H'
