Application
Exterior roll-up screens that block heat, UV, and daytime sightlines before they reach the glass. Keep the view out, cut glare, and make exposed windows easier to live with.
When heat and privacy problems start at the window, interior blinds only solve part of the issue. They can darken the room, but they do not stop much of the solar load from reaching the glass in the first place.
Exterior window screens work earlier in the process. They block a large share of the sun before it enters, reduce daytime visibility from outside, and make bright rooms more comfortable without eliminating the outward view.
The biggest gains usually come from exposed south- and west-facing glass, but the same approach helps anywhere heat and visibility are a problem.
Exterior solar fabrics reduce heat gain at the glass, which is much more effective than waiting to block light from inside the room.
A tighter openness fabric limits inward visibility from the street or neighbouring homes while still preserving your view out during the day.
Picture windows, floor-to-ceiling glass, and west-facing rooms benefit the most because they take the heaviest glare and solar load.
These systems can be tailored for standard windows, sliding windows, large glazed openings, and upper-floor locations that are harder to manage with interior treatments alone.
Each fabric performs differently across privacy, view-through, airflow, and UV blocking. We help you choose the right option for the way the space is used.
Heavy-duty insect mesh with maximum airflow. Neighbours can see through clearly, so privacy is not a feature of this fabric.
45% Openness

How It Works
We start with the window locations, exposure, and whether the main goal is privacy, glare control, heat reduction, or a combination of all three.
We measure each opening, confirm mounting conditions, and review the best approach for the exterior wall material and access constraints.
Each screen is built to the exact opening, with hardware and fabric selections matched to the specific window application.
We install the cassettes and side guides cleanly on the exterior, test operation, and confirm the finished system is working properly before handover.
Exterior screens for sliding and French patio doors with added sun and privacy control.
Custom roll-up screens for patios that need more privacy, shade, and comfort.
Retractable screens for exposed balconies and elevated outdoor living spaces.
Common Questions
No. The system mounts to the surrounding exterior surface, not into the glass itself. We measure the opening and choose the right mounting approach so the installation stays clean and does not interfere with the window unit.
Yes. Brick is a common mounting surface for exterior window screens. We assess the wall condition during the site visit and use the appropriate anchors for the material on site.
No. That is one of the main advantages of solar screen fabric. You still keep a usable outward view during the day, while the screen cuts glare and makes it much harder to see in from outside.
Yes. Interior blinds help with light control, but exterior screens stop a significant share of the solar load before it reaches the glass. That makes them much more effective when heat reduction is one of the main goals.
We custom-fit exterior window screens for the rooms and elevations that need real glare, privacy, and heat control.
