How Does MagnaTrack™ Work?

Their patented MagnaTrack™ system, which is combined with the Keder interlock, is the world’s only self-correcting exterior shade system. It dramatically enhances the functionality of Progressive commercial shades, preventing sticking or jamming. MagnaTrack™ eliminates 98% of common service issues seen in zipper and fixed-track systems. You’ll appreciate the smooth, reliable operation and hassle-free experience. MagnaTrack™ has a proprietary interlock system (US Patent No. 9,719,272) and is built with these components:

  • Double felt system inside hood cover and back of hood.
  • Glass-filled nylon end caps.
  • Attractive, energy-efficient materials.
  • Extra heavy weight bar.
  • Stainless steel, rust-free fasteners.
  • Thick extruded powder-coated aluminum housing, tracks, and weight bar.
  • 10-year warranty.
  • America’s only wind rated exterior shades with a 75 mph wind rating.
  • Miami-Dade NOA-certified, Hurricane rated.

The patented MagnaTrack™ system is designed with dual Neodymium magnets in the track housing and an adjustable insert for a secure hold. It allows the screen to expand under wind pressure, separating the magnets and then retracting smoothly when the wind subsides. That prevents jams and ensures smooth operation, whether installed in new construction or retrofitted for existing businesses.
