A Poolside Patio In Torrance That Was Too Hot To Use Until 97% Solar Fabric Fixed It

A homeowner in the Park Estates neighborhood of Torrance had a pool they could not enjoy in the afternoon. The sun hit their patio hard enough during peak hours that the space was effectively off-limits until evening. We installed a PowerScreen with 97 Shadow Texture fabric on their existing patio structure to change that — see our motorized patio screens page for full specs.

The 97 Shadow Texture fabric was selected specifically to hold the sightline to the water. From inside the shaded area, the pool is still fully visible. The glacier-toned shade complements the existing patio finish without competing with it. With 97 percent solar blockage, the temperature drop was immediate and the space went from avoided to used daily.

If your pool area is only comfortable after sunset, get a free estimate and we will show you what the right fabric does for that specific exposure.
