Twitchell Textilene Sun Control Screens

United Aluminum only uses the highest quality of materials, and this is why we provide our customers with Twitchell Textilene® exterior sun control screens. These screens help keep your home protected from the sun by dispersing, reflecting, and absorbing solar heat before it makes it through the glass of your windows and doors.

Textilene® is a unique woven mesh that can block 80-90% of the sun’s hot rays before they enter your windows. Textilene® is ideal for use as a shading fabric on windows, doors, and porches and offers good ventilation. This heavy-duty fabric, made of strong vinyl-coated polyester, is resistant to pet damage. Developed originally for use in outdoor furniture, Textilene® is mildew and fade resistant and needs only an occasional cleaning with mild soap and water.
