How V-Track Solves It for Covered Patios

V-Track solar screens use specialized fabric with selectable openness factors to control how much light and heat passes through. The continuous track retention ensures the fabric stays flat and tensioned, providing even shade coverage without billowing or sagging. Retract the screens when you want full sun.

By guiding solar screen fabric with selectable openness factors through extruded aluminum channels on the covered patio, V-Track eliminates gaps and loose edges — filtering UV rays and reducing heat gain while maintaining outward visibility and natural light. A certified dealer in Richardson takes precise measurements and installs the system for a clean, finished result.

Comfortable shade that blocks UV and heat while preserving your view and natural light.

Built for Texas Conditions

Richardson's mature tree canopy provides pockets of natural shade but also traps heat and humidity at ground level during summer months. The Telecom Corridor's dense commercial development creates heat island effects that push evening temperatures higher than surrounding suburbs. Creeks running through established neighborhoods generate steady mosquito pressure from late March through early November. V-Track's extruded aluminum side channels and marine-grade hardware are engineered to withstand these conditions season after season on covered patio outdoor living spaces. V-Track screens are installed across the Richardson area by authorized dealers.
