These pictures here show a brown or chocolate fabric solar screens with a brown frame. These solar screens are installed using our turn clips. All of these windows open up and down, therefore we use our turn clips to hold the screen in place. This customer put a Austin solar window screen on the back patio door, which is a huge benefit.

You’re also going to see there a roller shade. I didn’t put the roller shade in. That looks like something they bought off the shelf. It looks like a cheaper kind of roller shade. It’s there on the back patio. So these guys used to use a roller shade to provide shade for that patio door and that window there. But as they learned, like most people do, it’s a real pain to go out there and open and close that roller shade all the time.

Whereby if you fix a solar screen to the glass of the windows, and it’s permanent. It stays there all the time. You don’t have to mess with it. So the roller shade is a neat idea if you’re going to be sitting out there on the patio and you just occasionally need to roll the thing up and down, that’s fine.

But for inside the home, you don’t want to have to keep going out there and messing with that roller shade all the time, lowering and raising it, because the wind will catch it, and take that roller shade, and wrap it around a post or something.
