Solar Sunscreens For Windows & Doors
Why Choose Accent Screens?
As summer nears and the Arizona sun grows closer, electricity bills skyrocket in the Phoenix area. In the Phoenix Metroplex, both SRP and APS have recognized that windows are the number one source of heat gain in the summer and responsible for as much as 48% of the cooling costs of your home. The most effective way of preventing this heat gain is by stopping the sun before it heats the glass. Interior blinds, drapes and window film (tint) all block the sun after the heat has penetrated and heated the window glass, so the heat radiates into the home.
Exterior sun screens can block up to 92% of the sun’s energy before it heats your windows, dramatically reducing the heat in your home and the load on your air conditioner. Plus, sunscreens don’t block your view, but they will stop prying eyes during the day– even with your blinds open. Our goal is to provide quality services and save money for everyone, that’s why we include manufactured homes in our residential sun screen business

The effectiveness of a window-screening product is measured by its Shading Coefficient Rating. The lower the shading coefficient rating, the more effective the material is at blocking the sun.
