Commercial Solar Screens in Scottsdale

Solar screens for storefronts, office windows, and commercial glass help reduce glare, improve comfort, and keep the building looking professional.

Comfort for the working day

Better light. A better place to work.

Office desks, waiting areas, and storefront displays each have different needs. Plan sun control around the people and activities behind the glass.

Commercial solar screens are an exterior option for sun-exposed windows, not a universal treatment for every glazing system. Start with the openings that cause discomfort, then review attachment, visibility, and building requirements together.

Before the project is approved

The details behind a good commercial fit.

A useful estimate should account for the building, access, exterior appearance, and everyday use, not just the amount of glass.

Discuss your windows
  • Building permissions

    Confirm who can approve exterior changes. Tenants may need written permission from the landlord or property manager, along with any building design requirements.

  • Customer and staff sightlines

    Balance glare relief with views, displays, and signage. Dense mesh is not automatically the best answer for every public-facing window.

  • Access and attachment

    Describe upper-floor windows, restricted access, and the existing glazing or frame system. Suitability and fixing options need a property-specific review.

  • Operating hours

    Share business hours and access restrictions early. Scheduling arrangements should be confirmed in the project scope.

A considered specification

Shade the glass. Keep the business in view.

Compare samples around the actual workspace and exterior. A screen that suits an upstairs office may not suit a retail display window.

SunTex 80 has a more open feel. SunTex 90 gives stronger sun filtering. Fabric color, interior lighting, and viewing angle also affect visibility, so density should not be the only deciding factor.

Review exterior appearance and daytime privacy separately from nighttime privacy. When the building is lit after dark, interior blinds or shades may still be needed.

For leased spaces

Confirm permission and any approved color or mounting requirements before authorizing exterior work. Include these details in your estimate request.

A useful project brief

Give the estimate the right starting point.

A few practical details help distinguish an office window project from one with special access, approval, or visibility requirements.

Include the address, the areas affected, approximate window quantities, and your role in the project. Exact measurements can be discussed during the estimate.

  1. Describe the building

    Note offices, storefronts, shared areas, window heights, and restricted access.

  2. Identify constraints

    Share approval requirements, operating hours, signage, and customer or staff visibility needs.

  3. Confirm the written scope

    Review which frames, fitting, removal, access arrangements, and warranty terms are included before proceeding.

Before you decide

Commercial solar screen questions, answered.

Plan around the property and the way your business uses it.

Can solar screens be considered for office or storefront windows?

Exterior solar screens can help with sun-exposed glass, heat, and glare. The opening, frame, fixing options, visibility needs, and building permissions must be reviewed before deciding whether they fit a particular property.

What should a business include in an estimate request?

Include the property address, window quantity or approximate areas, the rooms affected, building access, and whether you are the owner, manager, or tenant. Note any signage, customer-access, or operating-hour constraints.

Do I need landlord or property-manager approval?

If you do not own the building, obtain the relevant approval before authorizing exterior changes. Building design standards and lease requirements may also affect screen color and mounting.

Will screens affect storefront visibility or signs?

Mesh changes how glass looks and how clearly people can see through it. Review samples with your display, signage, and customer sightlines in mind rather than selecting solely for the strongest sun filtering.

Can work be scheduled around business hours?

Tell us your operating hours and access requirements when requesting an estimate. The available schedule and any special-access arrangements need to be confirmed for your project.

Are commercial solar screens a replacement for cooling or interior blinds?

No. They are an exterior sun-control option, not a substitute for an appropriate cooling system, nighttime privacy, or every interior glare solution. Results depend on the glass, exposure, room use, and selected mesh.
