For over 33 years, Schnieders Solar Screen has been helping homeowners across San Antonio, Texas, and surrounding areas, including Seguin, Canyon Lake, Hondo, San Marcos, Kyle, Kerrville, and Lockhart, enjoy greater comfort, energy efficiency, and UV protection through professionally installed residential solar screens. In the heart of South Texas, where blistering heat and intense sunlight are part of everyday life, protecting your home from excessive heat gain is more than a convenience—it's a necessity.

Benefits of Residential Solar Screens
Significant Energy Savings
Residential solar screens are designed to block up to 90% of the sun's heat before it even reaches your windows. This helps reduce indoor temperatures naturally, meaning your air conditioner doesn’t have to work as hard. As a result, homeowners often see noticeable reductions in their energy bills, especially during the peak summer months.
Enhanced Indoor Comfort
By preventing excessive heat and glare from entering your home, solar screens help maintain a cooler, more comfortable indoor environment. You can enjoy consistent room temperatures throughout the day without hot spots or uncomfortable drafts. Solar screens also reduce glare on televisions and computer screens, making daily tasks and entertainment more enjoyable.
Protection from Harmful UV Rays
Solar screens act as a protective barrier against up to 90% of the sun’s harmful ultraviolet (UV) rays. UV rays are a significant cause of fading and deterioration in carpets, furniture, curtains, and flooring. By installing solar screens, you help preserve the color, quality, and condition of your interior furnishings. This added protection extends the lifespan of your belongings and preserves the beauty of your home’s interior.
Increased Privacy Without Sacrificing Light
Solar screens provide excellent daytime privacy by limiting visibility from outside, while still allowing natural light to filter in. Unlike traditional window coverings that block the view entirely, solar screens allow you to enjoy the outdoor scenery without feeling exposed. This makes them ideal for homes with large windows or rooms facing the street.
Improved Curb Appeal
Custom-fitted solar screens give your home a clean, modern, and uniform appearance. They are available in various colors, materials, and styles to complement your home’s architectural design. Whether you prefer a subtle look or a bold accent, solar screens can enhance your home’s exterior aesthetics. A well-maintained, stylish appearance boosts pride of ownership.
Eco-Friendly and Sustainable
Solar screens are an environmentally responsible solution for improving home energy efficiency. By reducing the need for excessive air conditioning, they help lower your household’s energy consumption and carbon footprint. Unlike some other home upgrades, solar screens require no electricity to operate and have a long lifespan.

Brian did solar screens for our home approx 15 years ago and they’re still in great conditions. He just completed two more large windows upstairs for us, and also for our daughter’s new home windows with grids. He did a wonderful job for both of us. He’s an artist! We appreciate his friendliness, professional, prompt, and affordable price.
