Central Austin Solar Screens Installed on Older Single-Pane Home

Posted: June 29, 2026

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.

Project Details:

• 12 Central Austin solar screens installed

• Black fabric with brown frames (see all color options here)

• Custom fit over existing single-pane windows

• Total project cost: $765

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).

• 

  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.

• 

  Replaces Old Bug Screens: The new solar screens provide both solar protection and bug protection. Learn more about how solar screens are installed and why they work well over old bug screens.

• Professional Custom Fit: Every screen was precisely measured and installed to fit these older windows perfectly, even with their varied sizes and conditions.
