MagnaTrack™ Defender Hurricane Screen Shades

Extreme weather is a fact of life in Fort Lauderdale, and, for many homes and businesses, preparing before a storm is essential. A typical thunderstorm can have wind speeds around 55mph, while a category five hurricane sustains wind speeds of 156mph.

If you’re a designer, builder, or homeowner looking to protect your or your client’s investment into their home, then we recommend protective exterior screens that can stand up to wind and debris.

The Benefits of Outdoor Shades

Exterior screen shades keep you comfortable by providing privacy and keeping out unwanted guests away—mosquitoes, we’re looking at you! Outdoor shades provide sun protection and reduce heat gain to keep your outdoor space cool.

How are MagnaTrack™ Defender Hurricane Screens Different from Other Outdoor Shades?

Every company claims its outdoor shades are the best – but Defender Hurricane Screens from MagnaTrack™ actually are rated to be stronger than the rest. These shades protect your space from UV rays and annoying insects, but they also protect your home from damaging winds and debris.

The shades use Kevlar®, a textile known for its outstanding strength-to-weight ratio, which makes them exceptionally durable and lightweight. Plus, MagnaTrack™ is the only system with a reinforcement channel that lessens the impact of wind and debris with magnetic fields. This channel also allows the shades to have a flat, uniform surface at all times.

Most service calls for traditional outdoor shades are due to mishaps with the zipper tracks. Investing in MagnaTrack™ will eliminate 98% of these calls with their self-repairing magnetized closure, which saves you money over time.

Learn More About Defender Hurricane Screens

There’s more to the magnificence of these exterior screen shades than meets the eye. Every system features Self Adjusting Technology (SAT), which prevents rewraps and hangups when you lower your shade on a windy day. Unlike competitors' highly flammable polypropylene fabrics, Defender Hurricane Screens are “self-extinguishing” and won’t rapidly degrade from UV exposure.

The patented MagnaTrack™ system has over 10 times the pulling force of any other outdoor shades on the market. Self-adjusting sidetracks and a Keder Interlock ensure your screens are secure in any weather conditions. The adjustable roller system reduces wrinkled edges to maintain a crisp, polished appearance. MagnaTrack™ Defender Hurricane Screens also have retention locks to eliminate movement. Sturdy aluminum frame housing brackets and a heavy weighted bottom bar secure these shades into place. These brackets feature a glass filled nylon coating to prevent corrosion.

Commercial Exterior Screens

These screens are trusted to outfit the outdoor areas of several nationwide restaurant and hotel chains because they are easy to install, use, and maintain. Commercial screens can be made 26’ wide and 16’ tall. A limited lifetime manufacturer warranty protects your investment.

The clean lines of outdoor shades allow for effortless incorporation into the designs of existing structures and those under construction in Fort Lauderdale and the surrounding areas. They are available in custom sizes up to 30 feet wide and 20 feet tall. Various hood and screen colors provide exquisite options for any aesthetic.

Motorization for Secure Privacy Shades
