The algorithm must've read my mind that I was thinking about how to make a replacement screen for my kitchen window. Great video. Finally, something different!
Wow! I like how you made screens for the windows that didn’t have them before. Thanks for this video. I think I might be able to actually do this for my windows. I loved the music!
That's a nice, neat job, and I loved the video style from the sophisticated music with the beautifully matched pacing to the lowbrow cartoon handwave at the end! This made my morning. 😂
Thankyou for your video, I am especially hoping someone can tell me the name of the music. My family had a wonderful pianola and we would play this piece regularly, pumping the air with the pedals. It was wonderful music and this has brought back so many memories. Many thanks.
@@some-dudes-views Thankyou for your reply, we are now listening to Herbert von Karajan conducting this piece and it is a most welcome interlude from politics, etc etc. You have made this family very happy.🥰
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.
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
Brilliant! We get direct north/south on our bigger windows and it's brutal in the summer. I had no idea you could build a screen. I'm definitely trying this.
Right you are! Unfortunately, some of the old frames were warped or needed to be replaced, which is why I decided to just replace them all to be consistent.
I did something similar, and YES it makes it a lot more comfortable. Less electricity used (and paid for$$) because the air conditioner is running less.
Cool idea! For most people, without risky frame disassembly, you can just take the old screen off by using a boxknife to pry the rubber spline, and then the old screen fabric follows.
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. 😊
@@georgecharokee4570they're metal corner pieces that hold the corners together and they last longer and are sturdier. They will work on any frame. Just Google metal corner frame pieces.
The front of my house faces east and windows (and average temps) don't create heat but I replaced the screens in 2 windows with solar screens to add privacy during the day because you can't see in from the outside. At night close the blinds.
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.
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
Since you tore apart the mesh screen anyway, why not just remove the mesh and replace with the sun screen material? Would've saved time and money. Looks great though. Excellent video!
You can absolutely do that too! I had some frames that needed replacing anyway and wanted to show how to make frames for those who want to see that process...thanks for the comment!
Nice job! And I liked the music 🎶. Neat trick using the envelope opener to cut the screen. Can you get different degrees of darkness with that mesh? And colors?
There are different colors and degrees of darkness available. My preference was 90% for maximum heat block and I like the look of the darker shade. I've seen tan and gray screens on some homes too. Thanks for the compliment!
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
This is a great look. I had this on my windows in my Phoenix Az home. Did a great job of keeping a lot of sunlight out, especially during the summer months. I didn’t know ow they were Solar??? I just thought they were shade screens.
Great video; to the point yet detailed. One suggestion though: Vivaldi's Four Seasons instead of the Hungarian Rhapsodies. Not going to lie, the editing with the music was great and made me laugh. It took me back to my Looney Tunes days as a kid! Thank you for your time, effort, amd subtle sense of humor! 👏👏👏
Call the Fire Department and ask to borrow their ladder...kidding...ya that's a tough one...maybe acquire a friend or neighbor who don't mind the height?
I first called around to see what people charge to to rescreen 2 * 3 ft screens, the cheapest price was $30, local hardware store charge 50, at LOWES the screen was 19, the cord was 6 bucks installation tool was 5.
You can put films inside the widows that is designed to reflect heat. It's more seethrew but it cannot be removed for winter season. Also, why not just replace the bug screen by the sun screen? I like the musical choice.
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.
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!
@@bjbhehir cool thanks for the education, still kinda blows my mind. I purchased Mylar and with Velcro I put it up on my exterior East/South windows that don’t slide, it keeps the rooms a little cooler, I gotta save for a window air conditioner.
Yes...extremely strong fasteners were used...although the surface was cleaned with alcohol they supposedly lock on even when wet or dirty...thanks for the comment!
It can get very windy at times where I am at as well...I used the strongest mounting tape, in addition to the heavy-duty fasteners as shown in the video, for that added strength...haven't had any issues since :)
I thought these were solar cells but in the form of a screen. Like an alternative to the roof ones. Sadly, I was wrong. But interesting video nonetheless. Never knew of these types of screens before.
You're right...however I had some frames that needed to be replaced and needed new ones for the top windows anyway and I was able to share how to do that...thanks for the comment!
Great idea! I actually tried that 1st but unfortunately the longer the frames the more difficult it is to keep them from "bowing" inward...almost like they need an actual support frame piece in the middle to mitigate this..I feel the separate frames work much better for this reason...thanks for the input!
@@some-dudes-views Dude... they do that all the time on really long windows; a crossbar of same exterior frame material with little clips on the end. Amazon has them.
This screen is much more heavy duty and a bit more restrictive on air flow...I also notice the tiny gnats don't get inside anymore where the standard screens didn't block them...another bonus!
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.
Personal preference is all...just not a fan of tint film...some of the old frames were compromised and needed changing and I kept all frames consistent with each other...and yes the new screen is much thicker...I have the windows open all the time in the cool mornings and evenings and I get plenty of air flowing through (not to mention the privacy remains since it is the screen in place and not the window in the open position)...again just personal preference...thanks for the comment!
It's actually been over 3 months and they still look brand new and are functioning flawlessly, especially with the scorching temperatures right now...keeps the home super cool for sure...thanks for the input though...much appreciated!

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

Right you are! Unfortunately, some of the old frames were warped or needed to be replaced, which is why I decided to just replace them all to be consistent.
Maybe he wanted the color to change white to black
Yes...I do like the bronze color better...personal preference of course though!
My thoughts exactly, and spray paint black if that is what he wanted.

How is sun screen different from bug screen?
Sun screens focus on blocking the sun’s rays/heat (denser fabric)...bug screens focus on keeping insects out (lighter fabric).
Nice background noise choice.

You can put films inside the widows that is designed to reflect heat. It's more seethrew but it cannot be removed for winter season.

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.
Thanks for the input!

What do you think the average cost was per screen? How long did it take you to make one?
Maybe $20 a screen and about 20 minutes...the time it takes significantly reduces after doing it over and over :)
I just put the privacy film on the inside of my windows. It’s like having sunglasses on when you look out and nobody can see in.
What about when you open the window though? 😁Just another benefit of the privacy screens...personal preference for sure...thanks for the input!

A standard window screen restricts around 50% of your air flow through the window... just saying... not sure if this screen is worse.
