I recently installed 12 Central Austin solar screens on an older single-pane home in Central Austin. These older windows were letting in a lot of heat and glare, so the homeowners decided to add solar protection with black fabric and brown frames.

Central Austin Solar Screens Project Highlights

  • Black Fabric with Brown Frames: The homeowners chose a modern black fabric with brown frames that blends beautifully with the dark exterior siding for a sharp, updated look (see all color options here).

  • Old single pane window that very  much needs shading from a solar screen.

    Perfect for Single-Pane Windows: These older homes with single-pane glass benefit greatly from Central Austin solar screens to reduce heat gain and improve comfort.
