Phifer SunScreen is woven vinyl-fiberglass screening manufactured for the primary use of reducing solar heat gain and glare. SunScreen absorbs and dissipates up to 70 percent of the sun’s heat and glare before it reaches the window. SunScreen is easily installed on any type and size of window and also performs as an insect screening.

*TS – Solar Transmittance, RS – Solar Reflectance, AS – Solar Absorption, TV – Visual Transmittance *SHGC = Solar Heat Gain Coefficient *1/4 CL = 1/4″ Clear Glass, 1 HA = 1″ Heat Absorbing Glass *Installed as Screens, Thirty-Degree Profile Angle *Solar Heat Gain Coefficient (SHGC) shown calculated according to Office of Building Technology, State and Community Programs, Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy, U.S. Department of Energy’s definition of SHGC. SHGC represents the percentage of solar heat gain that is transmitted to the interior through the glass and shading system. If you are using glass whose performance is listed in terms of SC, you may convert to SHGC by multiplying the SC by 0.87.
