Exterior Screen Fabric

Retractable exterior screens are necessary for houses and buildings with certain exposures, and certainly in certain environments where the sun streams through windows. It's important to choose a screen with an effective fabric that can insulate your interior from letting in too much heat, as well as protecting your furnishings from the fading powers of the sun. Eclipse primarily sources its screen fabrics from one of two companies: Phifer Incorporated and Twitchell Corporation, both of whom offer versatile and durable exterior sun control fabrics made in the U.S. Phifer provides Eclipse with SunTex® 95 and SunTex® 90, while Twitchell provides TEXTILENE® 80, 90 and 95, and TEXTILENE® nano™ 95, 97 and 99. All screening fabrics are offered in a range of neutrals that go well with exterior colors for most homes and buildings.

Exterior Screen Fabric

SunTex® 80 and 90

SunTex® 80 and 90 fabrics are unique woven meshes that block between 80% and 90% of heat and glare from the sun. Made of a strong vinyl-coated polyester, these shades can protect your interior from fading in the sun. They also allow for saving on energy costs, keeping the sun’s heat and UV rays outside where they belong. SunTex® only needs occasional cleaning with mild soap and water, and is mildew, fade, and pet resistant. SunTex® 80 and 90 is GREENGUARD and GREENGUARD gold certified.
