Window Sunscreens in Phoenix, AZ
Window sunscreens are one of the most cost-effective ways to beat the heat in Phoenix. By stopping a large share of the sun's energy before it ever hits the glass, custom sunscreens keep rooms cooler, protect your interior from UV, and ease the load on your air conditioner.
What We Offer
Custom-built sunscreens for homes and businesses:
- Custom-fit solar screens. Screens built to the exact dimensions of each window for a clean, tight fit.
- Multiple shade densities. Different screen densities to balance heat and glare reduction against your view and natural light.
- Color & frame options. Screen and frame colors chosen to complement your home's exterior.
- Targeted or whole-home coverage. Screen only your hottest west- and south-facing windows, or the entire house.
Built for Arizona
Sunscreens are built for exactly this climate. The intense, low afternoon sun that streams through west-facing windows is the single biggest source of unwanted heat in many Valley homes. A solar screen intercepts much of that energy on the outside of the glass — before it becomes heat trapped inside — which is far more effective than blinds or curtains that only block light after it's already entered the room.
Beyond comfort and cooling costs, sunscreens cut the harsh glare on screens and TVs and block much of the UV that fades flooring, furniture, and artwork. They're an especially smart upgrade for windows you can't easily replace yet, delivering a real difference for a modest investment. We custom-build each screen to fit tightly and look clean from the curb.
Sunscreens are also one of the fastest upgrades to pay off here. There's no glass to order, no opening to disturb, and no permit to chase — just a precise measurement and a custom-built screen that goes up cleanly. For homeowners who aren't ready to replace windows yet, or who want to knock down the heat on a rental or a recently purchased home, sunscreens deliver an immediate, noticeable difference on the very next sunny afternoon.

Frequently Asked Questions
How much heat do sunscreens actually block?
Solar screens stop a significant share of the sun's heat at the glass, with the exact amount depending on the screen density you choose. Denser screens block more heat and glare; lighter ones preserve more view and daylight. We'll help you pick the right balance per window.
Which windows should I screen first?
Start with your west- and south-facing windows — they take the most punishing afternoon sun and deliver the biggest comfort and cooling improvement. Many customers screen those first, then add the rest.
Will sunscreens make my rooms too dark?
Not necessarily. Screen density is a choice — you can prioritize heat reduction with a denser screen or keep more natural light with a lighter one. We tailor it to each room.
What screen colors are available?
Sunscreens come in a range of screen and frame colors so they complement your exterior. We'll show you the available color and density options when we measure your windows.
Do sunscreens help lower my electric bill?
By reducing the solar heat coming through your windows, sunscreens take load off your air conditioner during peak summer afternoons, which can help with cooling costs.
