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 Shreveport
Built for bright Shreveport afternoons.
Shreveport in northwest Louisiana has a humid subtropical climate with hot, humid summers and mild winters. While farther from the Gulf Coast than southern cities, the region still receives heavy rainfall, occasional tropical storm remnants, and sustained humidity that drives persistent insect pressure from spring through fall.
- 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 Shreveport
Frequently asked.
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 Shreveport 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 Shreveport from sun damage.
Are motorized solar screens effective in the Shreveport summer?
V-Track solar screens are specifically designed for high-sun environments like Shreveport, Louisiana. The motorized system lets you adjust coverage throughout the day as the sun angle changes on your patio.
How long do solar screen fabrics last in Louisiana?
V-Track uses UV-stabilized solar fabrics designed for sustained outdoor exposure in Louisiana. The marine-grade hardware and aluminum track system are engineered for long-term performance on patios.
What openness factor works best for sun protection in Shreveport?
The ideal openness factor depends on your patio's sun exposure and the Shreveport climate. V-Track solar fabrics range from 1% to 10% openness. An authorized dealer can recommend the right balance of shade and visibility.
Do solar screens still allow a view from my patio?
V-Track solar fabrics are designed to reduce glare and heat while maintaining outward visibility from your patio. You can still enjoy the view — just with more comfortable lighting and temperature.
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.
