Garage Door Solar Screens

Energy Efficiency Starts at the Garage Door. We know how to help with installation.

Perfect for garages used as workshops, gyms, or hangout spaces, solar screens help maintain a cooler environment, lower energy costs, and protect interiors from sun damage—all without sacrificing ventilation or visibility.

Checklist for Installing Solar Screens in Your Garage

  • HOA Approval: Before adding solar screens or vinyl roller shades, confirm with the HOA to ensure compliance with neighborhood rules for exterior modifications.

  • Vehicle Height Clearance: Measure the height of vehicles entering the garage to ensure the solar screen doesn’t obstruct access when lowered.

  • Mounting Location (Between Jamb): If mounting the solar screen or shade between the jamb, note that this reduces clearance height. Check if this impacts functionality.

  • Exterior Mounting Option: For more space, consider an outside mount above the trim. This boosts durability and maintains garage access while enhancing privacy.

  • Electrical Cord Placement: Plan where to plug in the motorized solar screen’s cord. Ensure a nearby outlet or extension for safe operation.

  • Keychain Remote Option: Ask about adding a keychain remote for convenient control of the solar screens or vinyl roller shades, especially for frequent use.

  • Garage Painting: Planning to paint the garage or trim soon? Tackle it before installation to avoid damaging the exterior solar screens and ensure a seamless look.
