We have always had the sliding garage door screens with the solar (white) screen material which not only provides privacy but actually keeps the garage cooler than the outside air. In the hot summer months, the garage is still very warm, but always cooler than the outside because of the solar screen which helps deflect the heat from the sun. The purpose of the screen was to keep the dog from running outside everytime we opened the door and to keep the critters from playing in the garage and getting inside the house (mainly the geckos) when we leave the door from the house to garage open for the fantastc breeze. Now that we don't have the dog any longer, I still would have the screen for the other reasons listed above.
