MagnaTrack motorized screens, installed by Shutter & Shade Source as a certified dealer, are the industry’s only self-correcting motorized screen system. They withstand category five hurricane winds exceeding 156 mph, block up to 97% of UV rays, and come backed by the best warranty in the business. Homeowners get hurricane protection, insect control, and sun relief in one system.

At Shutter & Shade Source, we know homeowners have options. Plenty of them, in fact, when it comes to protecting and elevating a home with motorized patio screens. But one company has set the standard that the rest of the industry measures itself against: MagnaTrack, made by Progressive Screens.

We’re proud to be a certified MagnaTrack dealer and installer, handling everything from Hurricane Defender Screens to Solar Screens for homeowners across Florida’s west coast. We didn’t choose to specialize in this system by accident. We chose it because it solves the two problems homeowners actually care about: staying protected when a storm hits, and staying comfortable every other day of the year.

What makes MagnaTrack motorized screens different?

Most zipper-style motorized screens on the market rely on exactly that — zippers. Zippers wear down. They jam. They need service calls. MagnaTrack doesn’t use them.

Instead, MagnaTrack uses a patented Keder Interlock and magnet track system. That means your screen stays secure without a single zipper to fail. The magnet track carries more than 10 times the pulling force of competing systems, so operation stays strong and quiet year after year.

MagnaTrack is also the world’s only self-correcting motorized screen. That means the system eliminates 98% of the costly service calls that come standard with inferior screens. You’re not replacing damaged screens every few seasons. You’re installing one system built to last.

How strong are MagnaTrack hurricane screens?

Strong enough to matter when it counts. MagnaTrack’s Defender Series is engineered to withstand category five hurricane winds exceeding 156 mph. The self-adjusting sidetracks prevent openings and fabric bellowing when wind picks up, and a weighted bottom bar — rated the heaviest in the industry — locks the screen in place with retention locks.

The aluminum housing brackets are coated in glass-filled nylon to resist corrosion, and the extruded hood design holds its shape across wide spans without deflection. Every detail is built for the same purpose: keeping the screen doing its job when the weather gets bad.

Can one screen really cover a large opening?

Yes. MagnaTrack spans up to 30 feet wide and 20 feet tall, limitations applying. That’s not a typo. Thirty feet of continuous, motorized screen in a single run.

That means a patio, lanai, or outdoor kitchen that would normally need two or three separate screens can often be covered with one seamless system instead. Fewer seams, fewer tracks and fewer places for bugs, wind, and debris to sneak through. Restaurants and event spaces with larger footprints benefit just as much, since one wide span looks cleaner than a row of smaller screens stitched together.

Width isn’t the only dimension that matters, either. Tall openings — two-story outdoor living spaces, commercial patios, pergolas with high rooflines — need a system that can travel that distance without sagging or binding. MagnaTrack handles up to 20 feet of vertical span, so the screen adapts to the architecture instead of the architecture getting scaled back to fit the screen.

Thirty feet wide and 20 feet tall are outer limits, not guarantees for every project. Wind exposure, mounting surface, and the configuration of your opening all play a role in what’s achievable. That’s why a trained installer measures the whole opening — structure, exposure, intended use — before confirming what MagnaTrack can do for your space.

Do hurricane screens protect against anything besides storms?

They do. MagnaTrack’s mesh selections block between 70% and 97% of harmful UV rays, so the same screen that protects your home from category five winds also protects your furniture, flooring, and skin from sun damage on an ordinary Tuesday.

The system also reduces glare, improves privacy, keeps insects out while still allowing airflow, and helps lower cooling costs by blocking heat before it reaches your windows. One screen. Multiple lines of defense.

Can I customize the look of my hurricane screens?

Yes. We recognize that every home is unique, which is why we offer customizable color options for our hurricane shades to suit your specific preferences.

The size and style of the shades are standardized to keep performance consistent, but you have the freedom to select from a range of colors that complement your home’s aesthetic: White, Beige, Bronze, Ivory, Silver Pearl, and Night Sky. Let us help you find the shade that protects your home and enhances how it looks from the street.

What kind of warranty comes with MagnaTrack screens?

The industry’s best. MagnaTrack backs its system with a limited lifetime warranty on aluminum, 15 years on screens, 5 years on motors, 2 years on remotes, and 1 year on vinyl. That means the investment you make today is protected for decades, not just until the next storm season.
