5 Reasons to Get MagnaTrack™ Screens for Your South Carolina Home
If you’ve ever tried to enjoy a South Carolina porch in the middle of summer, you already know how quickly it can go from relaxing to uncomfortable. The good news? Retractable outdoor screens can help you enjoy your outdoor space more comfortably, and MagnaTrack™ screens are among the most innovative options on the market. As a MagnaTrack™ dealer in Greer, SC, Integrity Blinds & Shutters installs these systems on patios and porches across the Upstate. Here are five reasons they're worth considering for your home.
1. A Magnetic Track That Won't Jam
Most retractable screens run on traditional zipper or fixed-track systems, which can jam, pull loose, or become difficult to operate over time. MagnaTrack™ takes a different approach: its patented track uses rare-earth neodymium magnets that keep the screen tensioned and self-correcting as it moves. The result is a system that helps eliminate about 98% of the hang-ups associated with ordinary screens. When you're investing in an outdoor upgrade, this dependability is what separates a screen you love from one that becomes a nuisance.
2. Serious Wind and Weather Protection
A flimsy screen is rendered useless the moment the wind picks up. MagnaTrack™ roll-down screens are built for demanding outdoor conditions: instead of tearing free, the magnetic track lets the screen flex under wind pressure, with a system that’s engineered to handle gusts up to 75 miles per hour. For the highest level of protection, the Defender line of hurricane screens is designed to withstand Category 5 hurricane-force winds. That's real, confident peace of mind for when a coastal storm rolls inland.
3. Smart, Quiet Motorization
Wrestling with a stuck screen gets old fast, but MagnaTrack™ motorized screens skip that headache. The motors are quiet and smooth, and you can operate them in whatever way works best for your lifestyle — whether that's a handheld remote, a wall switch, an app on your phone, or a quick word to Alexa or Google Home. You stop thinking about them, and that's the goal — a patio you don't have to fuss over is a patio you'll use more often.
4. Customizable Comfort
A big part of what makes these screens worth the investment is their level of customization. The fabric you choose and the tightness of its weave determine how much sun, glare, privacy, and visibility you get. If you want to keep enjoying the view of your yard, a more open weave can still cut down on glare and block UV rays while leaving your view unobstructed. For Greenville, SC, homes where privacy is the priority, a tighter, solid fabric delivers greater shade, privacy, and coverage.
5. Year-Round Use of Your Outdoor Space
With MagnaTrack™ screens, a patio stops being a three-season space and becomes somewhere you can enjoy throughout much more of the year. In summer, the screens keep out mosquitoes and help reduce heat and glare. In cooler months, they retain heat and block the wind, so an outdoor heater can do its job more effectively.
They can also help protect your outdoor furniture from the fading sun and blowing rain, too. Restaurants figured this out a while ago, which is why you'll spot these screens on patios at national chains. That same added comfort and protection can work just as well for your home.
A Few Types of MagnaTrack™ Screens to Consider
Still weighing your options? There are a few routes you can take. Most people are happy with standard retractable patio screens, which can shade and enclose a porch or deck while protecting from everyday sun, bugs, and light rain. But if storms are what keep you up at night, the Defender hurricane screens are built to provide an added level of protection and peace of mind.
Homeowners from Greenville to Spartanburg know that motorized roll-down solar screens can help protect their homes from UV exposure, reduce glare, and maintain their outdoor views. The “right” choice comes down to your home, your weather worries, and how you plan to use the space.
