Summary: Window screens are hard to clean and can block your view. Replacement
window screens have new technology that allows you to roll the screen
up out of your way. Try the retractable screens.

Retractable window screens have many great features but one thing you have
to bear in mind is that they are not as easy to repair as conventional
window screens.
You often have to return them to the company from which they were purchased
for a proper repair. This may not always be convenient or inexpensive.

Just moved into our new home in Arizona. Our builder told us not to put
sun screens on our windows as it would void the warranty. The windows seem
to do a good job keeping the house cool in this 115 + weather. Our master
bdroom has an Easter exposure. We have beautiful plantation shutters on
the window. The problem is we get too much sunlight in the morning. I
don't think I can fit a shade inside the shutters. Would an exterior
retractable screen block enought light?

Hi Sharon;
Get the proof in writing from the manufacturer that your warranty will be
void.
If it is true, it wont matter if the screen is in front or behind the
glass, the warranty will be still affected.
Usually manufacturers void the warranty because of window film application,
not screens. Perhaps the builder is misinformed, best way is to get it in
writing and proceed from there.
Hope this helps
