Dallas's Environmental Profile
Every screen recommendation we make for Dallas homes factors in these local conditions:
What Most Dallas Homeowners Need
Sun & UV Control — Index 7.5
With a UV index averaging 7.5, Dallas homes need serious sun protection. Solar mesh screens block 80–99% of UV depending on the openness factor you choose. For west and south-facing patios, we recommend 3% openness (97% UV blocked). For east-facing or shaded spaces, 10% openness provides lighter filtering without darkening the area.
What It Costs in Dallas
Motorized retractable screens in Dallas typically run $3,000–$6,000 per opening for a standard 12-foot lanai. Premium systems with zipper track and solar mesh run $4,000–$8,500. Hurricane-rated systems with aramid fabric start at $4,500 and go up to $18,000+ for large openings with MagnaTrack.
