Why Homeowners Choose Motorized Patio Screens
Homeowners invest thousands in outdoor living spaces — covered patios, outdoor kitchens, fire pit areas, pool decks — and then find them unusable for months at a time. Sun makes them unbearable by mid-morning. Insects drive everyone inside after sunset. Wind turns an evening on the patio into an endurance test.
Motorized patio screens solve these problems without permanent enclosure. They deploy in seconds with a remote control or wall switch, creating an instant barrier against whatever is making the space uncomfortable. When conditions are perfect, they retract completely into a hidden housing — preserving the open-air character of the patio.
Unlike fixed screen enclosures that block views and trap heat, or manual shades that require physical effort and constant adjustment, motorized patio screens adapt to changing conditions on demand. One button. Full protection when you need it. Open sky when you don't.
How V-Track Motorized Patio Screens Work
Every V-Track motorized patio screen consists of three components: a tubular motor inside a compact headbox, the screen fabric, and two extruded aluminum side tracks. The motor rolls the screen fabric up or down. The side tracks guide the fabric and lock it in position using a patented V-Screen Retention system.
When you press the remote control, the screen deploys smoothly and silently from the headbox, traveling down the side tracks until it reaches the bottom. The V-Screen retention mechanism — a continuous bead welded to the edge of the fabric — slides inside the aluminum channel, creating a mechanical lock along the full height of the opening.
This is what separates V-Track from conventional roll down patio screens. Standard systems rely on gravity, cables, or tension to keep the fabric in position. Those methods work in calm conditions but fail under wind load. V-Track's track retention keeps the screen locked in place through sustained gusts that cause other systems to flap, gap, and fail.
The system is compatible with home automation platforms and can be integrated with wind sensors, timers, and smart home controls for fully automated operation.
This Is V-Track
V-Track is the motorized retractable screen system at the center of every page on this site. It is a specific named product — not a generic category. The defining engineering is the V-Screen Retention mechanism: a continuous bead welded to the edge of the screen fabric that slides into an extruded aluminum side channel and locks in place mechanically along the full height of the opening.
That mechanical retention is the distinction. Zipper-track systems use a friction-fit that degrades with use. Cable-guided screens rely on tensioned wires that allow the fabric to bow and gap under wind. Magnetic-edge screens lose contact when the magnet's hold is exceeded. V-Track's patented V-Screen Retention is a fixed mechanical bond — no friction surface, no wear point, no adjustment. The fabric is locked into the track at every point.
V-Track is manufactured by Keder Screens in Lavon, Texas — Made in the USA. Every system is custom-manufactured to the exact dimensions of each opening, powder-coated to match the structure, and installed by an authorized dealer who handles measurement, mounting, and commissioning. There are no off-the-shelf sizes and no compromises on fit.

Most patio screen systems address one problem at a time. V-Track solves them simultaneously.
- Too much sun — heat and glare make the patio unusable by mid-morning
- Mosquitoes and insects — drive everyone inside after sunset
- Wind — conventional screens billow, gap, and detach
- Rain and cold — shut down outdoor living entirely
- Solar shade screens — block up to 90% of UV while preserving views and airflow
- Insect mesh screens — closed perimeter against mosquitoes, gnats, and no-see-ums
- V-Screen Retention track retention — mechanical lock keeps fabric in the track through wind
- Vinyl weather enclosures — block rain, cold air, and debris year-round
Built for Wind and Weather
Standard motorized patio screens rely on tension or gravity to keep the fabric in position. In calm conditions, that works. But wind changes everything — the fabric lifts away from the track, gaps open at the edges, insects get in, rain drives through, and eventually the screen tears or detaches entirely.
V-Track motorized patio screens use a patented V-Screen Retention system that physically locks the screen fabric into extruded aluminum channels. The connection is mechanical, not frictional. The screen stays sealed against the track through sustained winds and sudden gusts that destroy conventional alternatives.
For homeowners in wind-prone areas — coastal properties, elevated lots, open-sided patios facing prevailing winds — this is the difference between a screen system that works year-round and one that fails the first time weather tests it.

What Does a V-Track System Cost?
Motorized patio screen pricing depends on opening size, fabric selection, number of openings, mounting conditions, and electrical access. Every V-Track system is custom-manufactured to the exact dimensions of each opening — there are no off-the-shelf sizes and no off-the-shelf prices.
The major cost drivers are opening width and drop (which determine material and motor sizing), the chosen fabric (solar mesh, insect mesh, or vinyl — each carries different per-square-foot costs), and the complexity of the mounting surface and surrounding structure. Multi-screen installations and smart-home integration add scope; standard single-opening installations are simpler.

Frequently Asked Questions
What are motorized patio screens?
Motorized patio screens are retractable exterior screens designed specifically for residential patios and outdoor living spaces. They deploy at the press of a button to block sun, wind, insects, or weather, and retract into a hidden housing when not in use.
How much do motorized patio screens cost?
Motorized patio screen pricing varies based on opening size, number of screens, fabric type, mounting conditions, and installation complexity. Every V-Track system is custom manufactured. Contact an authorized dealer for a free quote tailored to your specific project.
What if my local contractor doesn't carry V-Track?
Ask them about it. V-Track is available nationwide through Keder Screens — if your contractor isn't an authorized installer yet, they can become one. Just tell them you want V-Track screens by name.
Are roll down patio screens the same as motorized patio screens?
Yes. Roll down patio screens, remote control patio screens, and motorized patio screens all refer to the same product — a motorized retractable screen that rolls down to cover a patio opening and rolls up into a housing when retracted.
Can motorized patio screens withstand wind?
Standard motorized screens rely on tension or cables and often fail in wind. V-Track motorized patio screens use a patented V-Screen Retention system that locks the fabric into extruded aluminum channels along the full height of the opening, keeping the screen taut and stable in sustained winds.
How are motorized patio screens different from zip track screens?
Zip track systems use a zipper mechanism that can jam, wear, and fail over time. V-Track uses a V-Screen Retention system — a welded bolt that slides into a continuous aluminum channel — creating a mechanical lock that does not rely on friction or zippers.
Who installs motorized patio screens?
V-Track motorized patio screens are installed by authorized dealers who are factory-trained on the system. Dealers handle measurement, customization, installation, and commissioning.
Do retractable patio screens block bugs?
Yes. V-Track retractable screens with insect mesh fabric form a closed perimeter against mosquitoes, gnats, flies, and no-see-ums. The V-Screen Retention mechanism holds the fabric edge inside extruded aluminum side channels, eliminating the edge gaps that allow insects to enter through conventional screen systems. Authorized dealers install the system to your exact opening dimensions.
Can retractable screens enclose a patio?
Yes. V-Track retractable screens can fully enclose a patio on one or more sides. With vinyl fabric, the screens create a weather-tight enclosure that blocks wind, rain, and cold. The screens retract completely into a hidden housing when you want an open patio again. Authorized dealers handle measurement and installation.
How long do retractable patio screens last?
V-Track retractable patio screens are built with marine-grade aluminum, Somfy tubular motors rated for tens of thousands of cycles, and UV-resistant fabrics. With normal use and minimal maintenance, the system is engineered to perform for many years. Screen fabric can be replaced independently if needed. Contact an authorized dealer for details.
