What Is Solar Insect Screen?

Solar insect screen is a dual-purpose UV screen that combines sun protection with insect defense in one weave. The dense 20/30 mesh filters 65% of the sun's rays and heat while its fine openings block even very small insects, something standard solar screen is not designed to do. It looks like a normal screen but works like a sun shade with an added layer of pest protection.

Benefits of 65% Solar Insect Screen

UV Protection & Glare Reduction

Keep your children, pets, and yourself protected from UV radiation while cutting glare on televisions, home offices, and bright living spaces. As a dependable UV screen, this material filters 65% of the sun's rays before they enter. It is also GreenGuard Gold certified, an independent standard for low chemical emissions, so it supports healthier indoor air quality.

Tiny Insect Protection

If your home is prone to sand flies, gnats, no-see-ums, or other tiny insects, this is the answer. The 20/30 mesh count is significantly tighter than standard 18/16 window screen, with smaller openings that stop the tiny pests ordinary screens let slip through. You get sun control and real insect defense from a single material.

Energy Conservation

Solar insect screen reduces the heat that builds up when the sun beats through your windows, blocking much of it before it ever reaches the glass. As a practical solar screen material for windows, it helps keep cooling costs down and rooms comfortable even on the hottest summer days.

Daytime Privacy

Worried about nosy neighbors peeking through your windows? The mesh creates one-way visibility in daylight, letting you see out clearly while others cannot easily see in. Keep in mind this effect applies during the day, when outdoor light is brighter than indoor light.
