Blinds and curtains alone won’t keep your home protected from Tucson’s intense sun. Solar shades and sun screens offer superior heat reduction while maintaining your view. Our roll-up solar shades prevent heat transfer, reduce glare, and make your home more energy-efficient—all while lowering cooling costs.

Our retractable solar screens are custom-built to fit your windows perfectly. They stop 99% of unwanted solar heat before it reaches your home, our screens reduce interior temperatures and protect your furniture, floors, and decor from fading.

Tucson Solar Screens Made From Premium Fabric for Ultimate Protection and Durability

Many shades and solar window screens on the market are made with low-quality fabrics that quickly degrade in Tucson’s extreme temperatures. We manufacture our custom solar screens using durable sun screen fabric that withstands the elements, ensuring a long lifespan with minimal maintenance.

Our screens are reinforced with high-grade, heat-tempered, extruded aluminum alloy. This construction ensures smooth operation and prevents damage from wind or frequent use. Say goodbye to cheap, flimsy screens and invest in high-quality, fully assembled solar screens that last for years to come. We design our solar screens to handle normal exposure and test weight loads of up to 850 lbs to ensure they are built from the best premium materials available.

Because customer service is our top priority, we offer a 10-year manufacturer’s warranty on all of our exterior fabrics against defects, rotting, and fading. Additionally, we offer a lifetime warranty on our motors and electronics. If any of our electronics fail under normal wear, we’ll replace these parts at your convenience!

Alternatively, all of our products can be built-in to new construction or remodeling projects. The degree of built-in depends on how early you design the product into the application. The design phase is the best time to plan in retractable products. Proper planning will allow more hardware to be integrated into the structure and out of view.
