Transparent panels that shield a patio from wind-blown rain and chilly breezes while keeping the full view.
A patio with only mesh screens still gets wet in a driving rain and chilly on a cold evening. Clear vinyl panels add a weather layer. Lowered, they block wind and rain and trap a bit of warmth. Raised, they disappear into the housing and leave the patio open again.
We install clear panels in retractable systems with strong edges, tight tracks and heavy-duty hardware. Because vinyl catches more wind than mesh, we pay close attention to the span, the track system and the exposure of your patio. We also explain how to keep clear panels clean and how to prevent scratches, which are the main wear issue.
Clear vinyl blocks wind, rain and blowing debris and lets light and view through. It makes a covered patio usable on many damp or breezy days.
Solid panels catch wind like a sail. Zip-track edges and moderate spans keep them stable, and we discuss when to raise them in storms.
Vinyl needs gentle cleaning to avoid scratches. We provide care instructions and recommend soft cloths and mild soap.
Panels can hold warmth and may fog in humid weather. We explain these traits so there are no surprises.
