Question 1

How much do motorized patio screens cost in Colorado?

Accepted Answer

The cost of exterior motorized patio screens depends on the size of the opening, screen material, mounting method, installation complexity and the number of screens being installed. Every MagnaTrack system is custom manufactured to fit your space, making it a premium solution rather than a one-size-fits-all product.At Outdoor Solutions Colorado, we provide a complimentary consultation to measure your space, discuss your goals, and recommend the best screen configuration for your home or business.

Question 2

Are motorized screens worth the investment?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Motorized screens significantly increase the comfort and usability of your outdoor living space by reducing sun glare, blocking insects, increasing privacy and helping protect your patio from wind, rain and snow.Many homeowners find they spend more time outdoors after installing motorized screens, making them one of the most valuable upgrades for covered patios, pergolas, outdoor kitchens, and restaurants.

Question 3

What makes Progressive MagnaTrack screens different from other motorized screens?

Accepted Answer

Progressive MagnaTrack screens use a patented magnetic retention system that keeps the screen securely locked into the side tracks, even in windy conditions.Unlike traditional spring-loaded or zipper-style screens, MagnaTrack is designed to self-correct if the fabric is bumped or pushed out of alignment, reducing service calls and improving long-term reliability. This innovative system also allows for smoother operation and greater durability in challenging weather conditions creating a permanent solution for your outdoor space.

Question 4

Can MagnaTrack screens withstand Colorado wind?

Accepted Answer

MagnaTrack screens are engineered specifically to perform in demanding weather conditions, making them an excellent choice for Colorado's unpredictable climate.The patented sidetracks with neodymium magnets help keep the screen fabric securely in place during strong winds, allowing the system to flex rather than suffer damage from excessive pressure. The residential screens are rated for winds up to 75 mph, while the hurricane defender screen is rated to withstand winds up to 150 mph. While no screen should remain lowered during severe storms or extreme wind events, MagnaTrack is recognized as one of the industry's strongest wind-resistant motorized screen systems.

Question 5

Do motorized screens keep bugs out?

Accepted Answer

Yes. When fully lowered, MagnaTrack screens create an effective barrier that helps keep mosquitoes, flies, wasps, and other insects outside while still allowing fresh air to circulate through your outdoor living space.Many homeowners choose motorized screens specifically to enjoy summer evenings without dealing with pests.

Question 6

Can motorized screens help reduce heat and UV rays?

Accepted Answer

Absolutely. Depending on the screen fabric selected, MagnaTrack screens can block a significant amount of solar heat and harmful UV rays before they enter your patio or outdoor living area.This helps create a cooler, more comfortable environment while also protecting outdoor furniture, flooring, and decor from fading due to prolonged sun exposure.

Question 7

Can MagnaTrack screens be installed on an existing patio, deck or pergola?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Progressive MagnaTrack systems are designed to integrate with most existing covered patios, decks, pergolas, outdoor kitchens, and commercial outdoor spaces.Whether you're adding screens to an existing structure or incorporating them into a new pergola, Outdoor Solutions Colorado custom designs each installation to provide a clean, seamless appearance.

Question 8

How long do Progressive MagnaTrack screens last?

Accepted Answer

With proper installation, Progressive MagnaTrack screens are designed to provide many years of reliable, consistent performance.Their durable aluminum components, premium screen fabrics, and patented magnetic retention technology are engineered to withstand daily use and changing weather conditions with minimal maintenance.

Question 9

Do motorized screens provide privacy?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Motorized screens are an excellent way to create additional privacy without sacrificing your outdoor view or natural airflow.Progressive MagnaTrack screens are available in a variety of mesh fabrics and opacity levels, allowing you to choose the right balance between visibility, shade, and privacy. During the day, darker screen fabrics can significantly reduce visibility into your outdoor living space while still allowing you to enjoy the view from inside.Whether you're looking to create a more private backyard retreat, reduce visibility from neighboring homes, or add comfort to a commercial patio, MagnaTrack screens provide a clean, modern solution that enhances both privacy and aesthetics.
