Summerlin sits at a higher elevation than the rest of the valley. This means stronger UV rays and hotter afternoon sun, especially in The Vistas and Stonebridge. Interior blinds stop the light, but the heat has already passed through the glass.
The Solution: Exterior Solar Screens act as a shield. By mounting them on the outside, they block up to 90% of the sun's energy before it touches your window, keeping your rooms 10-15° cooler.

The "Smart Hybrid" Upgrade
Most Summerlin homeowners choose Fixed Screens for windows and Motorized Solar Shades for their large patio sliders. Get the best of both worlds.
For Your Sliding Glass DoorsA home in The Paseos had a "West-Facing Wall of Heat." The afternoon sun (which is stronger at Summerlin's elevation) was baking the master bedroom, forcing the AC to run non-stop from 2 PM to 7 PM just to keep the room at 78°F.
We installed Textilene® 90 Solar Screens in "Desert Sand" to match the HOA requirement. Unlike standard screens, these blocked 90% of the solar energy before it hit the glass, acting as a thermal shield for the home.
The "HOA-Safe" Install Process
We don't just cover your windows; we match them. Our "Grid-Match" technology ensures your screens look like they were built with the home.
We measure the exact position of your window's internal grids (mullions). We then align the solar screen's heavy-duty frame to sit perfectly over these lines, making the screen disappear visually.
Whether you are in The Paseos (Desert Sand) or The Vistas (Bronze), we match the frame color to your specific village's architectural code, guaranteeing 100% HOA approval.
We use heavy-duty metal clips (not plastic) to create a tight "Thermal Seal" against the window frame. This prevents hot air from leaking behind the screen and ensures they never rattle in high winds.
