Window sun screens

[Joker]

I'm not sure who makes them but we are looking for a few of the screens that go over windows to keep the sun out. I think they're metal? Any idea where to get them?

I figured I could take the measurements and have a glass/screen company build them for me and I would install them. Not according to Parker Glass. They have to send someone out, take the measurements, and install them. Pffffftttt. I don't think that's rocket science.

These things must mount to the stucco since there is nowhere else to mount em around the glass?

Are you talkin about solar screens?
That's what we use.

Wow what a novel idea. Sunscreens to block the sun. Lol. I think they are very expensive. My experience is u must get quality for them to last. I learned the hard way on my lake house.

Like this? They came with house. Work great.I needed to replace one. Went to local screen shop. Wasn't that expensive at all.

We are actually just making a decision on these right now.

There were solar screens on the windows when we purchased the house and they do certainly provide relief from the heat at certain times during the day. FOr us the downside is that the hottest part of the house is where we have a view of the lake.....so while we get the heat relief we have a limited view during that time of the day.

I think we are going to install the motorized screens from Sunsetter to try and get the both of both worlds. The screens are motorized and can easily be raised and lowered from inside the house. While these are certainly a more expensive way to go they are very well made and not really all that bad price wise when purchased through Costco. a 5' screen is $389 all in and if you hate them you can easily return them......so we're going to give them a try....but then again we're here full time so maybe you can't justify the expense for part time use only.......you can check them out here;

The ones we see in Bullhead are white and look like a bulky metal product. The ones NapaNutt posted look pretty simple and not as obtrusive as the ones weve seen.

Those look good but I don't have power anywhere near the windows I need done.
