    That's what I did for my home. All of my West and South facing windows have solar screens that I built myself. The only thing I did that was different than you was leaving my screens alone and adding a solar screen on the outside of the window that I can remove during the winter. I attached mine with 7/16 plastic screen clip that are attached to the window frame so I can just turn the clips 90° and remove the screens. My house is situated on top of a hill here in California so my house is like a rotisserie chicken. It's not uncommon for the west surface of my house to be close to 170°. It has made a huge difference reducing the heat load.

    I spray painted my screens white on the west side of the house to block out that heat. After a few years the paint has started coming off but a cheap spray can of paint will work wonders. I can also see good from inside to outside and it is hard to see inside from outside. The original screen was black.

      I'm personally not a fan of spray painting the screens but I'm sure if you do it slowly and methodically, it "should" be fine.

      It's hard to do. I did it on my black sunscreens with a brush. I felt like the paint needed to be very watery and quick almost dry brush strokes b/c it will block the holes

      Yes, but don’t make the mistake the gardening company I hired years ago to do my landscaping made. The sunniest side of the house (south) is shaded by a silver maple tree that has big roots headed right into my foundation 12 ft. away, it’s killed all the grass above the roots and I have to have the tree removed and then someone else will have to remove the stump. 😫 Very expensive mistake and how they will keep the tree parts from hitting my neighbors’ landscaping and my Tartarian maple and my house as they cut it down remains to be seen. Also, the heavy equipment will have to drive over a big portion of my lawn and sprinkler system because my driveway is far away from this side of the house.

    Nice video. The screens are a lot more sturdy if you get metal corners and cut the frames at a 45 degree angle. That blade you used did a great job!! Also, you can cut the excess screen from the inside edge just above the spline for a cleaner look. Nice job!!

      ⁠I think 45-degree screen frame corners (which may be sturdier) would not work in this case, since he planned to reuse the saved mounting clips, which are needed to re-install into the existing window frames. Thanks for the tip about where cut off the excess screen. I need to replace mine, and really like this idea using denser screen material for south and west facing windows. 😊

    how much did it improve your electricity? Also, did it make the interior very dim?

    • @some-dudes-views
      @some-dudes-views  7 หลายเดือนก่อน +10

      If you mean how much does it cut the need for the air conditioner...I would say a huge amount. This time last year, I would have the air conditioner running for a fair amount of the afternoon and now I have not even turned it on once yet. It does decrease the natural light coming in but that also depends on the amount of sunblock fabric you use, I personally like it though.

  • @yadiaag7771
    @yadiaag7771 5 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

    What worked for my family was Cordless Cellular blinds. You could literally feel the difference between the outside and inside. Works fantastic in summer and cold winters. We also added double curtain rods to seal in any heat whatsoever. To us this results in a 10 degree difference through the entire house.
    You can buy the blinds at Home Depot or Lowe’s and they cut them to your size windows. Literally the best thing we did.
    Awnings could be more expensive but honestly depending on hot hot the weather it might just be worth the investment

    Yaaaa.. but, you cudda cleaned it up a bit by not using that letter opener to trim the fabric. A sharp, snap-bade tool outside the spline/inside the frame eliminates the whiskers. I am glad you did it tho' ..the no-talking approach makes you watch what going on. 'Good idea. Cheers. Jim

    I'd have pulled the splines and put in new screen on the old frames. Also, need to tighten the screens as you go to avoid rippling.
    Have you considered a giant sail shade for cutting down sun on the wall? You can also buy 40% shade cloth (for gardening uses) to help block a bit of the sun. Requires good anchor points in case of wind.

      Maybe $20 a screen and about 20 minutes...the time it takes significantly reduces after doing it over and over :)

      Agreed on your take of the lighter color screens. However, I have noticed a HUGE difference in the interior of the home being much cooler (still have yet to run the A/C even with high 90° temps) AND I prefer the black screens as they simply look better from the outside (my opinion of course)! To each their own though, thanks for the comment!

    Great job, but way to much work, time, and money. I went to one of our stores where they buy pallet loads of stuff dump it on tables, charge $5 the first day, 3 the next , $1, etc til bag day for $5. Went several times on dollar and bag day and now for around $10 I have 15 rolls of window tint and clear and frosted designs for say bathrooms for privacy. I can do different windows in how much light I want spray with water and a squeegee.I am redoing all windows, but the tints usually last about 10 yrs. I found higher uv ratings this time. We only open our windows a few times in spring and fall so window tints work best for us. The screens are great but why not just reuse the original frames? Or is the darkened screen thicker and wont fit in the track as well? And also the screen looks like less air would flow through. Cute video introduction and good tutorial.
