Solar Screen, 48 Inches x 100 Feet Roll - UV-Resistant Replacement Screen for Windows and Doors - Charcoal

I had to replace the screens on our rental house between tenants. I had the frames already. I picked up some spline and a roller at the local store- but ended up reusing the spline from the old screen. This was my first attempt at screens so I had a few beers and got to work. It took me about 20 mins to do the first one- 60x54. It looks really good. Pay attention that you have the grid lines straight or your screen will look a little funny. I did 3 screens. I ended up having Ace do the other two. I had run out of the mesh and it only cost me 35 to have them rescreen my frames (and build two frames). By the time I could have reordered this and done the work myself, Ace was a better option. I would definitely order this again, it's good quality, thick screen. It keeps the AZ sun out a little but you can still see through it fine. If you're debating doing it yourself or hiring it out because of the difficulty....you CAN do it yourself. I am somewhat of a handy lady but this was seriously easy. It did save me money doing it myself, although Ace was decently priced and got it done in a day.

The two center panels in the photo show the difference between these solar screens and the originals in our screened porch. It's a lot like looking through polarized sunglasses. Easy to work with and seems durable, this was a significant upgrade to our porch and I'd buy it again in a heartbeat.I'd recommend checking with Saint-Gobain customer service for their recommendation on spline size for your application. A very accurate .xxx" or .xxmm groove dimension will get you the right answer.The .125 spline was perfect for my application.

A great way to cut the heat and increase privacy. The material is strong and heavy. Use 0.140 spline or even smaller depending on your channels. I tried 0.165 for a tight fit but it was too hard to roll.

I've been living like a vampire with car shades from the 99 cent store to block out the VEGAS sun in my apt. DEPRESSING! Ordered 2 rolls...48/84. GREAT PRICE! Tried to attach screen in center window with redneck duck tape. Didn't stick to screen. So I folded material over top and stapled screen in between. Then used duck tape to attach to metal on window frame. Used existing screens on side and striped paper off of twist ties and threaded screens together to hold in place while I got them back up. DON'T use tape on paint! You will have to use your GOD given imagination to make this work. But it sure looks better, doesn't it! My poor body hurts from head to toe. Hope you have someone to help you. Screens easy to cut. Really blocks out the sun. Just hope they stay put. Now I can actually enjoy my beautiful courtyard. I did my front bedroom window also. Ran out of screen, so I just cut car shades @ 10" each and taped lengthwise on inside of window frame to take up slack. Also had to use some stick pins to adhear screens to material under the duck tape.If anyone has a suggestion to attach to inside of window with no screen...I would love to hear it.

The material is thicker than the original screen I replaced. Because of that I used a thinner spline; the 0.125”.Installation was easy and it gave me a chance to clean out all the areas where the screens sit.If you have never installed window screens, do not fear. It’s not difficult. However, I might recommend watching a couple YouTube videos for direction or encouragement.

Big difference in the light entering my windows during the day. I’ve only rescreened about 40% of the windows on my house but I’ve definitely noticed the light in my bedroom in the morning being dimmer. And in the side by side pic of the new vs the old, it’s completely evident.

I used this for my screened in porch. Love it! Durable and definitely keeps the sun and bugs out. Not disappointed in the least.

This is by no means solar screen. I have solar screens on my whole house and these are just dark grey screen. The sun comes through just like any average screen you would get at any hardware store. Very disappointed as the sun is now shining right through my bedroom window as well as alot of heat.
