Installing solar screens on Pflugerville TX Vinyl windows.

Vinyl windows do not have window screen tracks. Window screen tracks are used to hold windows screens. These tracks would traditionally be on the top and bottom of the vinyl window. When there are window tracks, a spring-loaded window screen can be used.

For the vinyl windows in Pflugerville Texas. For the new construction homes in this area. None of them have full-sized window screen tracks. No vinyl windows as of to date for this area have tracks for full-sized window screens. Because of this, we simply screw the windows to the vinyl window frame. As shown below. It’s really simple, not complicated.

Worries about installing solar screens on vinyl windows.

I hear very often from people saying they do not want screens screwed into their vinyl windows. That’s just nonsense to me. Sorry for being so direct, but in my mind, that’s silly thinking. I guess that silly thinking to me is because I know what I am doing. It’s me, not someone that is careless. I am someone that has an extensive carpentry experience. Someone that has built plenty of furniture. Remodeled homes. Flipped homes in the area. I would never drive a long screw into the framing. And, I know exactly where to drive the screw through. Where to put the screw. How to put the screw into the window. I know how ALL the vinyl windows in our are drain. Drain for water. So I know how to put the screws in. Simply put, I know what I am doing.

Understanding how vinyl windows work and operate.

But even if I did not. People need to understand how the windows work. All the vinyl windows used for Pflugerville TX new construction homes have water drain holes. If you dissected the windows as I have, you will see how they drain. So, one could drill a full inch diameter hole in the window without drainage problems.

I personally can not see any issue installing solar screens on to vinyl windows using the methods I do.

Do solar screens for vinyl windows fit over the entire window?

The goal of sun protection is to shade the entire window. To provide shade for all of the window. So, yes, the a solar window screen fits over the entire window.
