Your product fixed our problem! Our office building has huge plate glass windows--it once was a women's clothing store. A 15x15 corner office (the
bosses!) has corner glass, measuring 6' tall by 12' wide each way. It faces south and west. Before the solar screens went up, hot, sunny days would register 80 degrees on the thermostat in the hallway just outside the office, 85-plus inside. After the screens went up on these and other windows, our air conditioning can now hold the set temperature of 72-degrees.
A HVAC engineer told us it would take 3 tons of air conditioning to cool just the one office, with an initial outlay of $6K to $8K, counting a new AC unit and new electrical wiring. It would probably take another $200 per month in utility costs to run it. Even then, he said, it probably wouldn't work since the air exchange would be very difficult to achieve for so much cooling in so little space. Shading the windows, he told us, was our best option.
I wanted to add a colonnaded porch, but our architect suggested using solar screens. When I couldn't get a local glass company to get going on the project, I found you guys on the internet and installed them myself. I believe we spent about $1500 in screens, a 75% savings from a new air conditioner, and we get to keep the $200 a month in utility expenses during cooling-required months, which is most of the year.
The even better part about it is that the screens are the "stucco" color, which matches our building color perfectly. The screens cover the milled-aluminum plate glass window frames, further enhancing our building's look.
Needless to say, we are VERY SATISFIED with your product and our purchases!

Robert –
Just a quick note of thanks. My replacement screens showed up on Tuesday and are now securely in place in my windows. They look great.
As good a DIYer as I am around the house, it’s always a little nerve wracking to measure and then send out for a repair. Everything fits like a glove! Tell your team thanks for a job well done.
If you ever come across a reluctant buyer – tell them I was skeptical how well this would work when I ordered, once I received the items, I was definitely pleased with the quality.

Ordered 14 screens for the west side of our home in Orlando. Huge impact on the heat in the house and the look from outside seems as if we have new windows. Will be ordering a few more mainly for the looks. Could not be more happy.

My wife recently ordered six screens for our house. I wasn't aware we needed new screens but she was. So I took the measurements and she ordered the screens. The day after they arrived we snapped them in place. Perfect fit.
And the color was also a perfect fit. She is ecstatic. Of course if she is happy I am happy. And they really do look good. Very good. Your web site made it a simple process and we are pleased, to say the least, with the results. I was concerned about the condition they would be after shipping.
That proved to be a needless worry. The packaging was excellent. The screens were well protected and arrived in perfect condition. Please tell you shipping and assembly folks 'Thank You" for a job well done. We need a few more screens to complete the job and I promise we will be back soon to order the rest of the screens.
Sincerely,
