Nashville summers bring blistering sunshine, soaring humidity, and climbing utility bills. Installing solar screens is one of the simplest, most cost-effective ways to tame heat gain while preserving the charm of Middle Tennessee architecture. At CountBricks, we combine field-tested installation crews with AI-driven estimating to deliver precision pricing and flawless execution for every solar screen project.
• Up to 90 % of radiant heat is deflected before it touches the glass, cutting indoor temps by 5-15 °F
• AC units cycle less often, lowering summer energy bills an average of 25 %
• Fabrics filter UV rays that fade hardwood floors and heirloom furniture
• Neighborhood covenants often allow removable screens, protecting historic curb appeal
From May through September, Metro Nashville averages 60+ days above 85 °F with humidity above 70 %. Reflective films help, but solar screens stop the problem outside the pane, protecting frames, seals, and interior finishes. That exterior-first advantage is why builders across the Cumberland River corridor increasingly include solar screens in new construction specs. CountBricks makes it easy to retrofit the same comfort technology on existing homes—without guesswork or budget creep.
Manual takeoffs on paper windows schedules add days to a bid cycle and invite costly errors. CountBricks AI listens to your walkthrough in real time, converts every dimension into quantities, and instantly matches local material pricing. Homeowners see accurate numbers before you leave the driveway.

Not all screen fabrics perform the same. CountBricks maintains a vetted catalog of suppliers across Davidson and Williamson Counties, giving contractors and homeowners live pricing and availability updates.
• 80 % density fiberglass: budget-friendly, ideal for shaded elevations
• 90 % density PVC-coated polyester: premium heat blockage without darkening interiors
• Extruded aluminum frames: withstand hail and frequent afternoon thunderstorms
• Color-match powder coating: blends with brick, lap siding, or modern black windows
Bedrooms often tolerate darker 90 % weaves, while living rooms benefit from lighter 80 % to preserve natural daylight. CountBricks estimators flag each opening so installers arrive with the correct roll width on day one.
