Sun Window Screens (Solar Window Screens)
Solar window screens — heat blocked outside the glass, view kept, UV stopped. The Phoenix essential.
In Phoenix, the smartest place to stop heat is outside the glass. Solar window screens — Luna's Sun Window Screens service — intercept the sun before it becomes indoor heat, protect everything inside from UV, and do it while preserving your daytime view out. For west and south elevations they are frequently the highest-payback covering we install.
Screens are built to your windows with matched frames, in mesh grades tuned per elevation, and they make every interior covering behind them work easier — shutters and shades last longer and cool better in screened glass's shade. Summer in the Valley is a design problem; this is its simplest answer.
What You Get with Our Sun Window Screens (Solar Window Screens)
Heat stopped outside
Solar mesh blocks the sun before it hits the glass — the most efficient place to stop desert heat.
View preserved
See out clearly in daylight while the mesh darkens the view in — daytime privacy included.
UV protection
Furniture, floors and your new shutters shielded from the fading blast of west sun.
Custom frames
Screens built to your windows in frame colors that match the house — not drugstore silver.
Pairs with everything
The outside layer that makes shutters, blinds and shades inside work easier and last longer.
Monsoon-tough build
Frames and mesh specified for Arizona storms, not fair-weather states.
Options & Materials
Mesh choice is a percentage decision — how much sun to block versus how much view and light to keep — made with samples on your actual glass, west windows first. Frame color is matched to your window frames so screens read as part of the house. Scope is usually the sun-struck elevations rather than every window; the consultation maps your exposures and prices exactly those. Combined with interior coverings in one order, the whole elevation gets solved in one project.
How the Job Works, Step by Step
- 1
Consultation & design
We start with your windows, your light and your privacy needs. You see materials and samples, we take exact measurements, and together we settle the design, finish and hardware for every opening.
- 2
Written quote, no pressure
You receive a written quote covering making, delivery and installation — the full job, itemized. Take your time to compare; the price does not change because you thought about it.
- 3
Custom manufacturing
Your order is made to measure in our own workshop. Because we build it ourselves, odd sizes, arches and specialty shapes are normal work for us — not expensive exceptions.
- 4
Professional installation
Our own installers fit the finished products, level and secure every unit, adjust the operation and check the finish in daylight before they call the job done.
- 5
Walkthrough & support
We walk every room with you, show you how to operate and care for everything, and leave you with our phone number. If anything ever needs adjusting, you call the people who made it.
Care & Maintenance
Hose screens down gently a few times a year — desert dust loads the mesh and dims its performance. Keep sprinklers from hammering screens directly, and check frames after monsoon storms. Never pressure-wash at close range. If mesh tears or a frame bends, call — screen work is quick, and pre-summer is the smart season for it.
What Affects the Price?
No two homes in Phoenix are the same, so honest pricing starts with a look at your actual project. These are the factors that move the number most:
- Number and size of windows screened
- Mesh type — solar percentage and color
- Frame condition and color matching
- Second-story access
- Any patio or door screens in the same order
For general planning numbers, see our Price Guide — those are market ranges, not our prices. Your exact, written price comes free with your quote: call (602) 254-1770.

Sun Window Screens (Solar Window Screens) — Frequently Asked Questions
How much heat do solar screens actually block?+
A meaningful share — quality solar mesh blocks the majority of solar heat before it reaches the glass (exact performance depends on the mesh chosen; we show the ratings with samples). West and south glass is where the payback lives.
Screens outside or solar shades inside?+
Solar screens mount outside the window; solar shades hang inside. Screens protect the glass itself and preserve outward view in daylight; shades add interior design and privacy control. Many homes run both on the worst elevations — we will spec honestly per window.
Can people see in through solar screens?+
Daytime, yes — you see out clearly while the street sees a dark, private surface. At night with lights on inside, the effect reverses; interior coverings handle night privacy, and we will say so plainly.
When should I get screens installed?+
Order before the heat: spring installs beat the June rush, and your July rooms feel the difference all season. Call (602) 254-1770 for the current schedule.
How much do sun window screens (solar window screens) cost?+
The honest answer is that it depends on size, material and the condition of the existing opening. Beware of anyone who quotes a firm price without measuring. Luna Shutters & Blind measures first and then gives you a written quote with the full price — free — so you can compare it properly.
How long does a typical sun window screens (solar window screens) project take?+
Measuring and ordering take the first part of the timeline; the on-site work for most homes is completed in a day. Larger or custom projects take longer, and we give you the schedule in writing before you commit, so you can plan around it.
Do you offer free estimates?+
Yes — call (602) 254-1770 and we will arrange a free consultation and written quote. There is no obligation and no pressure to decide on the spot.
Do you serve my part of Phoenix?+
Luna Shutters & Blind serves the areas listed on our Service Areas page. If your neighborhood is close to a listed area but not named, call us — we will tell you straight away whether we can reach you.
What should I prepare before installation day?+
Clear the area around each opening, take down curtains or blinds if we are not replacing them, and move fragile items away from the work zone. Our team protects floors and furniture, and removes the old units and packaging when the job is done.
Can sun window screens (solar window screens) be customized for unusual sizes or shapes?+
In most cases, yes. Arches, angled tops, oversized openings and out-of-square frames are measured individually and made or ordered to fit. Bring us the awkward opening — it is usually the one that benefits most from a custom solution.
What information helps my quote be accurate?+
Rough measurements (width × height in inches), a photo of each opening, and a note about what you want to change. Send those when you call (602) 254-1770 and your written quote will be faster and closer to the final number.
What happens if something is not right after the job?+
Call us. Luna Shutters & Blind stands behind its work: if something we supplied or installed is not right, we come back and make it right. That is how a local business keeps its name — one fixed problem at a time.
