Residential · Baton Rouge, LA
Since 2016, Baton Rouge Screens has installed and repaired solar screen systems that lower heat gain, cut glare, and protect interiors. We build tight, straight frames, rescreen doors and windows, and correct sagging mesh, failed spline, and loose hardware with durable, code-sensible fastening.
We start by confirming the goal and the opening type: window solar screens, screen doors, patio enclosures, or fixed panels. Each opening gets measured for square, then we inspect the frame condition, corners, and track or mounting surface. For new work, we fabricate aluminum frames (typically 5/16 inch or 7/16 inch) with mitered corners, corner keys, and the right spline diameter for the mesh. For repairs, we remove old spline, clean the spline channel, check for bent rails, and replace worn tension springs, pull tabs, or plungers so the solar screen sits flat and secure.
Louisiana sun, humidity, and wind-driven rain punish weak installs, so we set solar screen tension correctly and keep fasteners corrosion-resistant. We commonly install exterior solar screen mesh in dark charcoal or black for better outward visibility, using heat-reducing fiberglass or polyester blends rated for UV exposure. Where frames mount to masonry, hardie, or wood trim, we use appropriate anchors and stainless or coated screws, then verify weep paths and clearances so water can drain and windows still operate. Before we leave, we check for racking, waviness, and light gaps that cause buzzing or premature spline failure.
Baton Rouge customers choose us because we treat solar screen work like finish carpentry, clean lines, tight fit, and hardware that makes sense for the opening. You get straight answers on mesh options (percent openness, visibility, and durability), not one-size-fits-all upsells. Our crews show up with the right equipment to do it correctly, screen rolling tools, miter saws for aluminum stock, tensioning methods that prevent ripples, and the small parts that stop call-backs. We are licensed and insured, and we provide a free written estimate so you can compare scope, materials, and price clearly.
At completion, we walk you through operation and care: how to remove and reinstall screens, how to rinse pollen and grime, and what cleaners will not haze the coating. You get solar screens that fit the opening, sit tight in the track or mounts, and deliver consistent shade without fluttering. If the job includes a mix of new frames and rescreens, we label and stage them to match each opening, then confirm alignment from the curb and from inside for light control. The result is a neat, durable solar screen installation or repair with documented materials, fasteners, and workmanship you can rely on.
Yes. We provide a free written estimate after reviewing the project scope, measurements, materials, and any needed frame or door repairs.
Small repairs can be completed quickly, while larger rescreens and enclosure work depend on access, frame condition, and material availability. After the on-site measure, we give you a realistic schedule.
In many cases, yes. We evaluate the existing mesh type, color, and weave and recommend the closest match, or an upgrade if the current mesh is failing prematurely.
Yes. We can replace torn panels, damaged spline, bent sections where feasible, and restore door operation, then advise if structural rebuild is the safer option.
Yes. We handle screening for commercial patios, outdoor seating, and shared spaces, with scheduling that reduces disruption and a clear written scope for property managers.
A properly built solar screen helps control heat, glare, and fading without giving up airflow. Baton Rouge Screens installs and repairs solar screen frames for windows, screened doors, and patio openings, using exterior-rated mesh, tight spline engagement, and hardware that holds up to humidity, UV, and seasonal storms. Whether you need new frames made to size or a quick rescreen to replace torn material, we focus on clean fit, correct tension, and long-term serviceability.
Solar screen performance depends on more than the mesh. We verify the opening, confirm how the screen will mount (tracks, surface clips, turn buttons, or fastened frames), then select frame depth and spline size so the material stays locked in place. For many residential windows, aluminum 5/16 inch or 7/16 inch frames are a good match, while larger panels may require stronger framing and additional retention points. During repair work, we look for root causes like bent rails, stripped clips, or a spline channel packed with debris that prevents full engagement.
Material choice matters in Baton Rouge conditions. Dark charcoal or black solar mesh usually offers better visibility from inside while still reducing glare. We can discuss tradeoffs like openness, airflow, and shading, and we will recommend an exterior-grade solar screen fabric designed for UV exposure, not basic insect screen. Our installs keep proper clearances for window operation and drainage, and we use corrosion-resistant fasteners where the screen attaches to trim, wood, or masonry so the system stays stable through wet summers and high winds.
If you are comparing bids, focus on what is included: frame thickness, corner construction, mesh type, spline size, and mounting hardware. Baton Rouge Screens provides a free written estimate that spells out those details, along with what will be repaired versus replaced. The goal is simple, a solar screen that fits right, looks straight, and keeps doing its job season after season.
