You will definitely notice the impact our solar screens have on the heat that enters your Dallas-Fort Worth area home.

Different Fabrics To Choose From 

Our most popularly used solar screen fabric options can be found in 5 and 10 percent openness. Based on the openness, they provide 95% and 90% sun protection. Thanks to the darker color of our fabrics, the heat and excess light are absorbed before it passes through. More absorption results in more protection, as well as a clearer view with less glare. Our fabrics come in two main styles: Natte and Satine. Natte offers a standard 2x2 basketweave pattern, while Satine offers a unique and decorative twill weave pattern.

Great local family owned DFW business. They took the time to show us amazing options and demonstrated onsite functionality that ultimately set them apart from the competition and earned our business. The solar screens are beautiful and block out the western sun completely. We are so pleased we are going to have them install indoor shades to darken the bedrooms.
Bob P.
I would absolutely recommend Blinds Brothers. First of all, they are a locally owned family business that is great to support. They were professional, trustworthy, and got the job done. They do high-quality work and I’m extremely happy with the results.

Frequently Asked Questions

What are the benefits of motorized exterior shades?

Exterior shades can keep your home cool by blocking out heat; reduce glare by controlling the amount of sunlight that enters; and protect your home from insects. As an added bonus, you can even save money on energy bills with exterior screens that protect your home from heat.

Which exterior screens are best for my home?

Blinds Brothers is proud to offer Tucson Rolling Shutters' exterior screens, such as Solution Screens, Solution Xtreme, and Cable-Guided Solar Screens. During our initial consultation, we'll take precise measurements of your windows, door, and patios to recommend the exterior screen that may be best for your home.

Can exterior shades be motorized?

Yes, our exterior shades can be motorized, remote-controlled, and even connected to your smartphone so you can open and close your screens even when you're away from home.

How much do motorized exterior shades cost?

The cost of your motorized exterior shades will depend on the size and number of windows you're aiming to cover. For a free estimate, contact Blinds Brothers.

Will solar screens block my outside view? 

Solar screens from the Blinds Brothers offer full visibility, similar to looking through a standard window screen. Don’t worry if you’ll be able to keep an eye on the kids in the pool or the barbecue with a solar screen, as you’ll have no problem seeing the area beyond the screen.

Will people be able to see into my house?

That’s the beauty of solar screens — while your view outside is unobstructed, it blocks outsiders from seeing in during the day.

Do solar screens reduce fading caused by the sun?

Yes! Many of our customers choose solar screens for their patios and porches to protect their expensive outdoor furniture. Whether it’s fabric or wicker, solar screens can stop them from fading entirely, helping exterior furniture keep its like-new appearance for a longer amount of time.

How long do solar screens last?

When shopping with the Blinds Brothers, you can expect your solar screens to last up to 10 years.

Will solar screens darken my home?

Solar screens will make it slightly darker in the room or area of a home they are installed in front of. They should not be thought of as “room darkening” though, similar to something like a blackout shade or rolling shutter. Still, there will be a noticeable difference in the brightness of a room after a solar screen is installed.

What areas are served by Blinds Brothers?

Blinds Brothers serves Fort Worth, Dallas, and the overall surrounding DFW metro area. If you're not sure if we service your area, give us a call or contact us online today and we'll let you know.
