MagnaTrack™ exterior screens combine patented magnetic track technology with exceptional wind resistance to create one of the most advanced outdoor shade systems available. Ideal for patios, pergolas, outdoor kitchens, lake homes, and commercial spaces, MagnaTrack™ screens help improve comfort and privacy while reducing glare. Exterior screens protect outdoor living areas from the elements.

What Are MagnaTrack™ Exterior Shades?

MagnaTrack screens use a self-correcting Keder interlock instead of a traditional zipper. The Keder interlock consists of heavy duty channels guided by neodymium magnets.

These rare-earth magnets are slightly separated, allowing the inner track to float inward to compensate for wind and deployment offset.

Unlike traditional zipper-track systems, MagnaTrack™ screens are engineered to self-correct during operation. This innovative design helps reduce maintenance, improves reliability, and allows homeowners to enjoy smooth screen operation even in challenging weather conditions.

MagnaTrack FAQs

What is MagnaTrack™?

MagnaTrack™ is an advanced exterior screen system that uses a patented magnetic track design to create one of the most durable and reliable outdoor shading solutions available. Unlike traditional zipper-track systems, MagnaTrack™ utilizes a self-correcting magnetic retention system that helps keep the screen aligned and operating smoothly. MagnaTrack™ screens are ideal for patios, pergolas, outdoor kitchens, commercial spaces, and other outdoor living environments.

How does the MagnaTrack™ magnetic track system work?

MagnaTrack™ uses a patented Keder interlock system guided by powerful neodymium magnets. These magnets allow the screen’s inner track to float slightly within the side channels, helping the fabric self-correct during operation and compensating for minor movement caused by wind or deployment. This unique design helps maintain smooth operation while reducing stress on the screen system.

What makes MagnaTrack™ different from zipper track shades?

Unlike traditional zipper-track systems that rely on a fixed zipper sewn into the fabric, MagnaTrack™ uses a patented magnetic side-track design that can self-correct if the screen is pushed or pulled off center. This innovative approach helps reduce wear, improves wind performance, and minimizes service issues commonly associated with traditional exterior screen systems.

How much wind can MagnaTrack™ screens withstand?

MagnaTrack™ screens withstand sustained wind speeds up to 75 mph when properly installed. Actual performance will vary depending on screen size, installation conditions, and project specifications. During your consultation, our team can recommend the appropriate configuration for your location and application.

What is a self-correcting screen system?

A self-correcting screen system is designed to automatically realign itself during operation. MagnaTrack™ achieves this through its patented magnetic track technology, which allows the screen to compensate for movement caused by wind, shifting structures, or uneven deployment. This helps reduce binding, improves reliability, and minimizes maintenance requirements over time.

Can MagnaTrack™ screens be motorized?

Yes. MagnaTrack™ screens are available with motorized operation for convenient control of large outdoor openings. Motorized systems can be operated with remotes, wall controls, timers, and select smart home integration platforms, making it easy to adjust your screens as outdoor conditions change throughout the day.

Do MagnaTrack™ screens help keep insects out?

Yes. MagnaTrack™ screens can be configured with insect screen fabrics that help reduce the presence of mosquitoes, flies, and other pests in outdoor living spaces. While not intended to create a completely sealed enclosure, MagnaTrack™ provides an effective barrier that can significantly improve outdoor comfort.

Can MagnaTrack™ screens be installed on patios and pergolas?

Absolutely. MagnaTrack™ screens are commonly installed on covered patios, pergolas, outdoor kitchens, lanais, balconies, lake homes, and other outdoor living spaces. Because every system is custom-manufactured, MagnaTrack™ can be designed to fit a wide range of residential and commercial applications.

What sizes are available for MagnaTrack™ screens?

MagnaTrack™ screens can be custom-manufactured in sizes up to approximately 30 feet wide and 24 feet tall, depending on the application and system configuration. These large-span capabilities make MagnaTrack™ an excellent choice for expansive outdoor living areas and commercial projects.

Are MagnaTrack™ screens suitable for commercial applications?

Yes. MagnaTrack™ is widely used in both residential and commercial environments, including restaurants, hospitality venues, outdoor dining areas, golf clubs, event spaces, and other commercial properties. Its durability, wind resistance, and large-span capabilities make it an excellent solution for demanding applications.

Where are MagnaTrack™ screens manufactured?
