Solar Screens in Port Charlotte, FL
Stay Cooler and Protect Your Home with Solar Screens
Florida’s sunshine is one of its best features — but it can also be harsh on your home and outdoor spaces. Excessive UV rays and heat increase energy bills, fade furniture, and make your lanai or patio uncomfortable. That’s why Elite Screening offers solar screens for enclosures and patios throughout Port Charlotte, FL.
Solar screens are specially designed mesh that block a significant portion of the sun’s rays while still allowing airflow. They create a cooler, more comfortable outdoor environment and provide lasting protection against sun damage.
Why Choose Solar Screens?
Solar screens provide unique benefits that go beyond standard mesh.
Reduce Heat:
Keep your lanai, patio, or pool area cooler even during peak summer months.
Block UV Rays:
Protect skin, outdoor furniture, and flooring from sun damage.
Glare Reduction:
Minimize glare on windows, outdoor TVs, and furniture.
Energy Savings:
By shading outdoor areas, you reduce heat transfer into your home, lowering cooling costs.
Privacy:
Certain solar meshes add extra visibility protection from outside while maintaining your view.
Whether you want to cut down on air conditioning costs or create a more enjoyable outdoor retreat, solar screens are a smart choice.
