Q: Can window screens block UV rays?

• <div><p>Many kinds of window screens, such as solar screens, are designed to reduce the amount of harmful ultraviolet rays that pass through them and enter your home. The materials typically have UV-blocking properties. However, they may not completely eliminate all UV rays from passing through your home. Different window screens are designed for different purposes, and not all are designed to block or reduce UV rays. Do your research to make sure you&rsquo;re getting the type of window screen to suit your needs.</p></div>

Q: Are there screens that reduce glare from the sun?

• <div><p>Yes, a variety of screen materials cut out glare from the sun. Solar screen material can block up to 90% of the glare and heat from the sun, saving on cooling costs. It also offers privacy yet unlimited outward visibility. The cost depends on the size of the screen roll, but solar screens cost between <b>$25 and $90 per roll</b>. </p></div>

Q: How long does it take to repair a window?

• <div><p>For most common repairs, a professional window repair service can fix a window in <b>one to three hours</b>. However, replacing window frames or repairing a large, multi-pane window will likely take longer to complete. For comparison, a window installation or repair professional should be able to replace up to 15 windows per day.</p></div>

Q: Can you replace the screen without removing the door?

• <div><p>Yes, you can replace the screen without removing the door in most cases depending on the frame holding the screen. Doors with removable spline and screen frames make it a snap to replace the mesh while the door remains in place. The best part is that it&rsquo;s a simple DIY project requiring a few tools in addition to the screen material.</p></div>

Q: Are there downsides to garage screens?

• <div><p>While the benefits of garage door screens usually outweigh the downsides, there are some cons to installing one. First off, they can be quite expensive, especially if you&rsquo;re having a professional install a retracting screen or a custom size screen. Second, they let fresh air and natural light in, but they also don&rsquo;t provide the same privacy from people in the neighborhood that a solid door does. As you might guess, screens also won&rsquo;t <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-to-insulate-a-garage.htm">insulate your garage</a>, so they&rsquo;re often not usable in colder weather.</p></div>
