About this magazine.
Screenroom Pros is a small editorial about light, shade, and outdoor rooms in the American Southwest. Published from Las Vegas. Reread in October.
The argument is small and stubborn: the cheapest fix for a hot Mojave house is geometric, not mechanical. Most patios and most windows in this valley are pointed at the wrong sun. The right answer is usually a permeable cover, applied early, on the worst-facing wall.
Field notes, glossary entries, measured tests, and the occasional letter. No newsletters. No quote forms. Pieces appear when they are finished, which is usually monthly.
Homeowners in the Las Vegas valley with a west-facing exposure and a working interest in why their house is uncomfortable at four in the afternoon. Contractors and architects sometimes write us; we sometimes write back.
