Outdoor living spaces are more comfortable when homeowners can control how open or enclosed they feel. Traditional motorized screens provide convenient operation, but the way the screen is guided also matters. MagnaTrack screens use a magnetic tracking system that helps keep the screen edges aligned as the screen moves.
For homeowners in the Front Range of the Rockies, this approach can make a covered porch or outdoor living area more adaptable. The system can provide screening when needed while allowing the space to remain open when homeowners want an unobstructed connection to the outdoors.
A Different Approach to Motorized Screens
Traditional motorized screens generally rely on a motor to raise and lower the screen. MagnaTrack screens combine motorized operation with magnetic tracks that help guide the screen along the sides of the opening, making the tracking system an important part of how the screen operates.
Magnetic Tracking Keeps Edges Aligned
The magnetic tracks are one of the defining features of the system. As the screen is lowered, the magnetic connection helps guide and hold the edges along the tracks, creating a more controlled screen enclosure around the opening.
Open the Space When You Want
A retractable screen gives homeowners the ability to change their outdoor space throughout the day. MagnaTrack screens can be lowered when screening is desired and raised when homeowners want an open-air setting, allowing the same area to serve different purposes.
A Flexible Option for Outdoor Living
Covered porches and other outdoor living areas can benefit from screening without becoming permanently enclosed. MagnaTrack screens can help homeowners create a more defined outdoor environment while preserving the ability to open the space when conditions and preferences allow.
Designed Around the Opening
Screen systems need to work with the dimensions and configuration of the opening where they will be installed. During planning, the structure, available space, intended use, and location of the screen should all be considered so the finished system fits naturally into the outdoor area.
More Than the Motor
The motor is responsible for moving a retractable screen, but it is not the only component that affects how the system functions. MagnaTrack screens place additional emphasis on the magnetic tracking system, which helps guide the screen edges as the screen moves through its operating cycle.
A Cleaner Look When Retracted
Retractable screening allows homeowners to move the screen out of the opening when it is not needed. This can preserve views and maintain the open character of a porch or outdoor living area rather than leaving a permanent screen barrier across the space.
Consider the Front Range Setting
Outdoor spaces along the Front Range can experience changing conditions throughout the year, so homeowners may want flexibility between open and screened use. MagnaTrack screens can be incorporated into an outdoor living area where that flexibility is part of the overall design.
Combine Screening With a Covered Porch
Screening can be planned alongside the structure it will serve instead of being treated as an addition after the project is complete. A covered porch with retractable screens can provide a dedicated outdoor area that can transition between open and screened use.
Choosing the Right Screen System
Homeowners comparing retractable screen options should consider more than whether a system is motorized. The tracking method, opening configuration, appearance, operation, and intended use of the space all matter when deciding which system is appropriate.
MagnaTrack screens stand apart through their magnetic tracking approach, which is designed to help guide and hold the screen edges. For homeowners looking for an alternative to conventional motorized screening, this can be an important feature to consider.
