Solar Screens
for Greenville, Morehead City, Wilson, Goldsboro, Washington, New Bern, Atlantic Beach, Emerald Isle & All of Eastern North Carolina

Solar screens are simple products that serve an abundance of different outcomes within your residential or commercial property. These shades are tinted fabric, woven together to create a see-through barrier that blocks the brightness and rays of the sun, while still allowing those looking through the window to see the surrounding view. Many people choose to install these solar screens on porches and windows to help limit the strength of the UV rays that pour into the room, without taking away from the sightseeing you and your guests enjoy.


At Coastal Shutters and Blinds, we understand how strong the sun rays and glares can become in southern areas like Greenville, Goldsboro, and Wilson, NC. This is why we have incorporated solar screens into our product and service line. We provide several North Carolina towns and cities with a multitide of different types of solar screens, whether they are retractable, tightly woven, or loosely woven. With the several options we provide, we are sure that we can find a solar screen that will help improve your daily life around your home or office.

Perks of Solar Screen Installation

In hot weather climates, solar screens are used for a number of reasons. Regardless if you are a sun and warm weather lover, we believe that the installation of solar screens can benefit everyone who occupies a room or space containing several windows or natural light.

  • Customizable: Contrary to popular belief, there isn't a 'one size fits all' type of solar screen. This is why at Coastal Shutters and Blinds, we have extended the customizablilty for these products. Our clients have the option to adjust the openness and color of the fabric (determining how much light comes through), different lengths and widths for different sized windows, and retractable/removable options.
  • UV Protection: Strong UV rays can wreak havoc on the health of our skin and eyes, therefore it is recommended to always have a barrier of protection. Many use sunscreen when they are spending time outside, however putting sunscreen on inside your home seems a little out of the ordinary to most. By installing solar screens to windows that let in a lot of light, you can decrease the number of harmful rays that permiate your skin.
  • Energy Efficient: When UV rays pour into your home, your AC unit will have to work overtime in order to keep the heat from these strong rays out. This could result in your energy bill skyrocketing during the summertime months. With solar screens installed, the rays will not be able to enter your rooms, therefore allowing the temperature to be regulated easier. Solar screens can also counteract this process in the winter by not allowing the heat inside your home to escape as easily, overall saving you tons of money on gas and electric bills.

  • Plastic Shutters: This style comes in a variety of forms, including extruded vinyl, vinyl with an aluminum, MDF core and vinyl foam.
         • Traditional extruded vinyl: This style               has the poorest weight-to-strength                 ratio and is the most likely to suffer                 from sagging, fading, yellowing,                       ultra-violet and heat-related damage.
         • Vinyl with an aluminum core: This                   style has a better weight-to-strength             ratio, and it is less likely to sag. It can               also be made into a wider variety  of              custom shapes.
         • Vinyl foam: This is the highest quality             of the plastic products. It is lighter                  and stronger than traditional vinyl and            avoids most of the common  sun-                  related defects. 
        • MDF: This is the weakest and heaviest           of the shutter materials. It does not                 wear well, but is often substantially                 cheaper than many alternatives.
  • Custom Plantation Shutters: This style is one of the most distinctive window treatments available and can be custom-built to any shape or size. Plantation shutters allow the free flow of air while still creating shade.
