80% Solar Screen Rolls | Block Heat, UV & Glare
80% solar screen from Metro Screenworks is a PVC-coated polyester mesh built to block up to 80% of the sun's UV rays and heat before they reach your glass. Durable, pet resistant, and hail resistant, it is one of the most popular choices for window and door screens, and you can shop it alongside our full range of solar screen rolls.
Install 80% solar screen on windows, doors, patio enclosures, or pool cages, anywhere you need effective sun control without giving up airflow. If you need even more heat control, compare it with our 90% solar screen, and if you also want insect protection, see our 65% solar insect screen.
What Is 80% Solar Screen?
80% solar screen is a woven, PVC-coated polyester mesh engineered to filter up to 80% of the sun's harmful UV rays before they enter your space. By stopping heat at the window rather than after it passes through the glass, these sun blocking screens reduce heat buildup, lower cooling costs, and protect your floors, furniture, and fabrics from sun damage.
The tightly woven solar screen mesh also provides outward visibility during the day while giving you added privacy from the outside. It looks like a standard screen but performs like a sun shade, blocking heat and glare while still letting fresh air move through.

Benefits of 80% Solar Screen
UV & Heat Blocking
Exposure to UV rays can cause sunburn, eye strain, premature skin aging, and other health concerns over time. Our 80% solar screen material blocks 80% of those rays, letting you enjoy fresh air and natural light with far less UV exposure. The PVC-coated polyester construction is built to hold up to years of direct sun without breaking down, and you can read more in 3 Ways the Sun Can Damage Your Home.
Glare Reduction
Harsh sunlight creates glare that makes it hard to see screens, work at a desk, or simply relax in a bright room. 80% solar screen cuts that glare noticeably while preserving your view to the outside. You get softer, more even natural light indoors without having to close the blinds on a beautiful day.
Energy-Efficient Window Screen
Running the air conditioner around the clock puts real strain on your energy bill, especially in summer. Installing solar screen for windows is one of the most cost-effective energy upgrades a homeowner can make, particularly on south- and west-facing exposures that take the most sun. Learn more in Energy Efficient Upgrades: Screen Edition.
Pet-Resistant Durability
Standard window screens tear easily under paws and claws, but 80% solar screen is built tougher. Its heavier PVC-coated polyester weave stands up to pets far better than ordinary insect screen, making it a smart choice for homes with cats and dogs. It is also hail resistant, so it holds up to the kind of weather that shreds lighter mesh.
80% vs. 90% Solar Screen: Which Is Right for You?
Choosing between 80% and 90% solar screen comes down to how much light you want to keep versus how much heat you need to block. Both are made from the same durable PVC-coated polyester mesh, and the difference is density. Here is a quick comparison to help you decide.
| Screen | Light & Visibility | Heat & UV Block | Best For |
|---|---|---|---|
| 80% Solar Screen | More natural light and slightly better outward visibility | Blocks up to 80% | Standard residential windows, doors, and pet-heavy homes |
| 90% Solar Screen | Less light in exchange for maximum shade | Blocks up to 90% | Intensely sun-exposed, south- and west-facing windows and patios |
If your windows take intense afternoon sun, step up to 90% solar screen. For most homes, 80% offers the best balance of light, visibility, and protection.
Applications for 80% Solar Screen
Solar Screen for Windows
80% solar screen for windows is the most popular use, cutting heat and glare on the sunniest sides of the house while keeping your view clear. It is especially effective on south- and west-facing windows that take the most direct sun.
Solar Screen for Doors
Sliding glass doors and storm doors let in a surprising amount of heat. Adding 80% solar screen keeps those entry points cooler and protects nearby flooring and furniture from fading.
Solar Screen for Pool Enclosures
Pool cages and screen enclosures take direct sun all day. 80% solar screen reduces heat and glare poolside while standing up to moisture and constant UV exposure.
Solar Screen for Patio Enclosures
Screened patios and porches become far more comfortable with solar screen in place, blocking heat and glare so the space stays usable through the hottest part of the day.
