The primary purpose of Enviro Solar Screens is to reduce heat loss or gain in residential or commercial buildings. Therefore, it follows that the primary benefit is to reduce energy use within those dwellings equipped with Enviro Solar Screens, and therefore reduce your energy bills. However, is that the only benefit. No, for many people creature comfort is very important. The reduction of energy use, energy bills, and comfortable temperatures within their dwellings, results in a more habitable enviroment. One where you can relax in comfort without any other worries or expenses.
The chart above shows a window with Suntex installed. In midsummer as much as 230 BTU's can fall on each unprotected square foot of glass. With SunTex installed, up to 90% of the sun's infred and ultraviolet transmissions are reflected, absorbed, and dissipated before it reaches the window.
"The Space Shuttle Thermal Protection System is a group of approaches, not just one technique, to protect the orbiter and its cargo from temperature extremes. Depending on the material and its location, reflection, absorption, insulation, and dissipation are all used to keep the very-hot and very-cold temperatures separated and from damaging or destroying the Shuttle's precious cargo.

SunTex Solar Screen is made of strong vinyl-coated polyester fabric, and is pet resistent. SunTex is mildew and fade resistant. In order to maintain SunTex's pristine aethetic look, only mild cleaning with soap and water is recommended.
Enviro Solar Screens are a "building envelope" designed to insulate the glass and window frame from the outside temperatures. This is recognized by the U. S. Department of Energy states that "in hot climates, the primary strategy is to control heat gain by keeping solar energy from entering the interior space while allowing for good visibile lighttransmittance for viewing and daylighting. Solar Screens that intercept solar radiation ... that prevent infrared and ultraviolet transmission while allowing good visibility, are useful retrofits for hot climates." In colder climates, the focus shifts to reducing heat loss. The U.S. Department of Energy states that "vinyl" is a "low-conductivity" material. Therefore, it is not conducive to the cold. In other words, it will not get cold and therefore will not allow cold to pass by way of it. Hence, your window doesn't get 90% of the cold air from the outside, nor will it allow the heat from inside the home to pass through it to the outside. Your window stays warm, as the Solar Screens create a barrier to the outside.
Some States utilities companies, such as Nevada Power, clearly states that in order to reduce energy consumption you must prevent the "glass and window frame" from being "exposed to the sun". You will likely find support for installation of Solar Screens to reduce energy consumption in your State's Office of Energy, such as is the case in Nevada.
Here's what our Customers say-
"We love our Solar Screens, they work great; our home
is cooler and we noticed our utility bill reduce the first month!"
OUR SOLAR SCREEN PRODUCTS
THERE IS NO COMPARISON
We only use Phifer SunTex products. Why? Because they ARE the BEST !!! Phifer knows that there products must separate the hot from the cold, whether it is summer or winter. That's why their products work. Using the same aerospace principles that NASA uses to separate the hot and cold temperatures, Phifer developed their product for the public to control their energy consumption.
All of our Solar Screen SunTex materials are of the best quality and are warrantied for five (5) years against changes in its physical properties. This very durable material will not tear, fade, or deteriorate from the weather, and are available in five (5) different colors - Black, Brown, Gray, Stucco, and Tan. All of our Solar Screen SunTex comes in either 80% or 90%.
BLACK BROWN
GREY STUCCO
BEIGE
Our frames come in Bronze, White, Tan, and Creme; with frame sizes in 7/16"x1" flat frame, or 1" stand-off frame.
CUSTOM SOLAR SCREEN GRIDS
In addition to the colors of SunTex Solar Screen and Frames, we provide further options that can enhance the aesthetic quality of your home - like Custom Solar Screen Grids!
This style of Custom Solar Screen Grids all you to maintain the same style of Grids found on your windows, or give your windows the pattern they were lacking. Whatever the case may be, this type of Custom Solar Screen Grids can add life to your windows ! We can reproduce any existing Grid pattern, or create new patterns !
ROLLING SOLAR SCREENS
We also have Rolling Solar Screens ! If you should only desire a break from the sun, but not worried about the temperature. Rolling Solar Screens are the answer. These type of Solar Screens are usually used on patios, porches, and the like, to provide shade from the sun. While these are usually purchased for open-air patios, they have a variety of uses. These Rolling Solar Screens come in the same SunTex Solar Screen colors (as noted above), as well as the same 80% and 90% material.
