Great screens made as ordered. I wish there was a way in their system to warn if the screen’s height is over a certain size, it’s advisable to add a crossbar. I ordered a 82 inch long screen but was too flimsy due to no crossbar. They also need to have 95% solar screens.

Advantages: Great quality

Disadvantages: Cold be a little cheaper.

Very well built. Measurements were exactly as I ordered. The joints are clean, the screens are tight, and the frames are straight. These guys did a great job, I’d definitely recommend them.

Advantages: Really good quality materials and construction. Well packaged for shipping. Nice work.

Disadvantages: Freight shipping is always kind of lame, especially to a residential. These guys were substandard even in the freight business. I have experience dealing with freight companies, so no big deal, but other people might get more frustrated. It’s not that much of a negative, but you asked...

Ordered seven screen of various sizes. Worth every penny.

Advantages: Quality material and shipping. Ordered on Sunday and received on Wednesday.

Thanks Amanda for your top notch customer service.

Disadvantages: I forgot to designate which length (width or height) to place the clips and tabs on. Therefore, I had to cut the tabs off and relocate the clips.

No complaints here...

I ordered 16 screens of various sizes. All of the screens were packed a single, heavy custom crate constructed of 1/2 inch sheathing, 2x4s, and screws, with individual screens painstakingly wrapped and protected by movers' plastic wrap and cardboard. All of the screens measured to the exact dimensions in the order form and all fit the windows as expected. I found the 5/16" x1" screen stock to be sufficiently stout to fit tightly against the window frames, using only 4 support clips for most of the installs. I was very satisfied with the ordering process, including the color choices and instructions that help with measurements and installation. When ordering, the $200 freight cost (21% of overall cost) created a bit of sticker-shock, but having dealt with other companies' damaged products, returns, and repairs in the past, receiving all of the screens in pristine condition justified the cost. In that regard, we have no experience with Customer Support, because we had no issues to resolve with either the ordering or delivery processes. Half of the screens are installed facing brutal afternoon sun, and the difference near those windows was immediately noticeable. Overall, we're very satisfied with our screens, and I would recommend Quality Screen as a conscientious supplier of quality products.

Well made screens that fit perfectly. Very quick turn-around time. Measuring instructions very well done and easy to follow.

Advantages: Cut down glare and heat on the 5 west facing windows I installed them on.

Disadvantages: If I had it to do over again, I would go with the 90% in lieu of the 80%.

It's to early to tell if the are going to keep the rooms any cooler but I really don't see how they will not. Before I installed them I placed one above my head in the hot sun and it felt as if I gone under a tent. I bought two and immediately bought three more for the front of my house because I like the way they look.

Advantages: Look great, well made. Fit perfect. I really like the security they provide. You can't see in the house. I would order more but I'm out of windows!!!!

Disadvantages: Freight for the long ones (70 inches ) was a little high and Fed bent the crossbar on all three. I bent it back(you cant see the crossbar when they are installed) I figured Fed would damage the next ones so I didn't report the damage. Very pleased.

I live in hot Central Florida and one side of my house gets pounded by the sun and is 4 - 5 degrees hotter than the rest of the house. These solar screens reduced the temperature by 3 - 4 degrees and allows you to comfortably be in that part of the house. I ordered the clips but reducing the width by 1/2 inch each side made the clips ineffective . Next time I will reduce the width by 1/4 or 1/8 inch. I ended up attaching the screens with industrial strength Velcro. Turns out this works great and the look is a lot cleaner than the clips.

Advantages: Cuts the glare and the heat. Screens look great and well made. Screens delivered within 4 days.

Disadvantages: Shipping is expensive . $130 to ship 3 screens is a bit much.

I was hesitant about the shipping fees but once they arrived it was justified. The screens were encased in a wooden frame and enclosed in heavy cardboard securely taped. They were perfect. Just popped 'em in and walla, they fit and looked great. The Textilene 80% is quite nice and the frame and material match our stucco and windows. They were a bit of an investment but I am hopeful they will hold up for some time and I didn't have to make them myself or worry about screwing it up.

Advantages: Greatly reduces glare and I would expect it should reduce heat from the southern exposure this summer.

Disadvantages: None

INSIDE APPLICATION: Lake of the Ozarks, MO. I ordered these screens for 8 transom windows above large picture windows and 3 arched windows above a door. The western exposure was killing my client. To put shades on the windows would have been $3,600 not including the arched windows above the door. Solar screens came and fit like a glove! Just set them up in the windows with a little invisible Velcro to hold them in and VOILA! Problem solved! White frames and white fabric matched the ivory Hunter Douglas Silhouette shades below perfectly. You can still see through the shades and comfortably sit in the living room without the blinding sun in your eyes. ALL 11 SHADES UNDER $500!!! Happy Client=Happy Designer!!

Advantages: Cost effective sun solution! Blends well with other window treatments in the room Can be removed in winter when you want the sun to warm the room. Stellar customer service. Quick ship. Thank you Amanda in Dallas was outstanding!

Disadvantages: Absolutely NONE! Wish I would have come across their website years ago!

We really like the solar screens we ordered. We have a loft room with 2 windows that face west and these really help block the sun/heat. I did not use the clips that came with and should have ordered the screens 1/2" smaller than window width instead of 1" but the window sticks in and holds just fine with a little opening on the sides. We never open the windows so not a big deal. We will probably order 4 more for the other windows. The tan color is great and they really do block the heat/sun!!

Advantages: Blocks heat/sun for sure! Look nice.

Disadvantages: Brick clips were not needed. Order width 1/2" smaller than window size and screen should fit right in place.

Very pleased with the product and customer service I received. Only thing which was not like the video was the clips. They do not clip on to the screen like the video but was still extremely easy to install. Highly recommend.

Completed the install of the solar window screens and they are easy to install, functional exceptionally well and are aesthetically appealing. My only disappointment is not purchasing them sooner. They have cut down the heat coming through the windows on the west side in a remarkable way. Quality Window Screens hits it out of the ballpark! Great product, great service!

Disadvantages: None.

I have a floating house with absolutely no shade and have been struggling to keep it cool in the hot afternoon sun. I purchased Custom Textilene 80% Solar Screens for the heavy sun load side of my house and installed them this past weekend.

Very impressed.

The price was right, ordering was easy, delivery was quick, the screens were well packed, installation was simple, the screens look great, and they really seem to block the heat. How much more can you ask for?

Advantages: Quick turnaround
Good price
Really hold the heat

I was looking for a window covering that would reduce the heat from the sun on the front of my house. These screens were made to specification and work great! I have two sets of windows on the front of my house, and put a screen on one side of each of them. Once the sun was hitting the house for a while, you could definitely tell a difference when putting a hand to each side of the windows. The ones with the screens were noticeably cooler. Since then, I put the other sides on and the whole room on that side is cooler now too! It used to be hotter than the rest of the house, even with AC on, now it is the same temp as other parts of the house. I would recommend these screens!! I got the black screen with white border and they look great!

Advantages: Low price, great quality, works as expected!

Pleased with the great quality and the service. Ordered 10 screens, and all were sized perfectly, with clips installed correctly (some were hung horizontally which meant clips needed to be on the "long" side). Arrived in two sturdy shipping cartons, but one screen was damaged by shipper (something heavy placed on the box, we assume, which "crunched" a center support bar. Replacement was straight-forward and arrived in less than two weeks. 80% is perfect for south facing family room in which they were installed. Finally, we can have the blinds open, enjoy seeing our yard, and watch TV with NO window glare. Afternoon heat in the breakfast nook is decreased significantly!

Advantages: Excellent quality. Sized exactly right. Great visibility from inside. We chose the brown-black color and are so happy with it. Decreased the afternoon heat gain in the room in which they were installed significantly.

Disadvantages: None. It took several weeks for the initial order to be filled, but we knew that when we ordered. Our one shipping- damaged screen was replaced in two weeks.
