Shade Your Outdoor Space Without Losing the View
Solar screen fabric blocks UV and radiant heat while maintaining outward visibility.
- Made in USA, global components
- Patented retention system
- Installed by authorized dealers
Comfortable shade for bright Lakeway afternoons.
Texas's combination of sun, wind, and seasonal insects creates real challenges for outdoor spaces in Lakeway. V-Track motorized screens address all three with a single system — sealed track retention, motorized operation, and professional dealer installation.
UV-filtering solar fabric
Solar shade fabric helps reduce harsh sun, glare, and heat on the patio.
Cooler, usable afternoons
Cutting direct sun helps make west-facing and afternoon spaces comfortable again.
View preserved
Open-weave fabric shades the space while keeping your outward visibility and connection to the yard.
The difference
Why other solutions fall short — how V-Track holds.
Dark. Closed. Hot anyway.
- Wood-slat enclosures and pergolas darken the patio and block the view
- Solid awnings and fixed covers trap heat and feel closed in
- Permanent structures can't retract when you want full sun and breeze
- The shade and the look are locked in — no adjusting through the day
Filtered. Open. Retractable.
- Solar shade fabric filters sun while preserving the openness of the space
- Lower the screens only when the patio needs shade, raise them when it doesn't
- Fabric openness can balance shade, view, heat, and privacy
- Track-guided retention keeps the shade clean, taut, and stable

Common sun challenges in Lakeway
Built for bright Lakeway afternoons.
Lakeway's position along the limestone bluffs of Lake Travis creates a unique microclimate where reflected heat off the water and exposed rock amplifies already intense Hill Country summers. The city's elevated terrain channels stronger winds through lake corridors, and the combination of lakefront humidity and dense cedar coverage generates heavy pollen and mosquito pressure from spring through fall. Homeowners with waterfront and hilltop properties face especially harsh sun exposure on west-facing patios during long summer afternoons.
- Direct afternoon sun makes the patio too hot to use
- Glare washes out screens, dining, and conversation
- West-facing spaces bake from midday into the evening
- Sun can fade outdoor furniture, cushions, and finishes
- Solar shade fabric helps reduce glare, heat, and UV while preserving the view
- Open-weave options balance shade with outward visibility
- Motorized screens lower for the harsh afternoon and retract when you don't need them
- Custom-fit components integrate cleanly with the patio opening

Patio screen questions in Lakeway
Frequently asked.
Can motorized sun screens reduce energy costs in Lakeway, Texas?
By blocking direct sunlight before it enters your patio and adjacent indoor spaces, V-Track solar screens can reduce cooling loads. Many Lakeway homeowners report lower energy bills during peak summer months.
Can I get solar screens on just one side of my patio?
Yes. V-Track screens are installed per opening and operate independently. You can screen only the sun-facing sides of your patio while leaving shaded sides open. Authorized dealers in Lakeway customize each layout.
What is the best sun screen solution for a patio?
V-Track motorized solar screens are purpose-built for patios. Unlike fixed awnings or umbrellas, they provide full-coverage sun protection that retracts completely when not needed. An authorized dealer in Lakeway can design the right system.
Do solar screens block UV rays on a patio?
Yes. V-Track solar screen fabrics block up to 97% of UV rays depending on the openness factor selected. This protects both people and furniture on your patio in Lakeway from sun damage.
Are motorized solar screens effective in the Lakeway summer?
V-Track solar screens are specifically designed for high-sun environments like Lakeway, Texas. The motorized system lets you adjust coverage throughout the day as the sun angle changes on your patio.
How much cooler will my patio be with V-Track sun screens?
Temperature reduction depends on sun exposure, fabric type, and airflow. Solar mesh screens reduce direct solar heat gain by blocking a portion of sunlight before it reaches the patio surface. Homeowners in hot climates commonly report noticeable comfort improvements, particularly during peak afternoon sun. The screens work best when deployed on the sun-facing sides of the patio while leaving other sides open for ventilation.
How much UV radiation do V-Track sun screens block?
UV blocking depends on the fabric selected. Solar mesh fabrics are available in different openness factors, typically ranging from 1% to 10%. A lower openness factor blocks more UV but also reduces outward visibility. Some fabric options block up to 95% or more of UV radiation. Your installer will help you choose the right openness factor based on your sun exposure, desired visibility, and heat reduction goals.
Can I still see through V-Track sun and privacy screens?
Yes, depending on the fabric type. Solar mesh fabrics maintain outward visibility while reducing glare and UV. The view is similar to looking through sunglasses — you can see your yard, pool, or landscape clearly. Darker fabric colors typically provide better outward visibility. Solid vinyl fabrics block the view entirely. Your installer can show fabric samples so you can evaluate visibility before choosing.
