Protect Your Patio Year-Round with MagnaTrack’s Defender Hurricane Screens

  • December 2, 2025

Outdoor living spaces — patios, lanais, gazebos, and poolside pavilions — add immense value, comfort, and enjoyment to a home. But when severe storms, hurricanes, or even everyday weather strike, these open-air areas can become a liability rather than a luxury. That’s where MagnaTrack Defender Hurricane Screens step in. With a unique blend of cutting-edge engineering, strength, and smart design, these screens turn risky outdoor spaces into safe, storm-ready environments — without sacrificing style or convenience.

💪 Why MagnaTrack Defender Screens Stand Out

  • Cat-5 Hurricane Protection (156+ mph): The Defender Storm System meets or exceeds the strictest building codes in the world (including Miami-Dade/Florida codes). It’s tested and certified under standards like TAS 201, ASTM E330 / E1886 / E1996, and withstands design pressures up to ±200 PSF — meaning it’s engineered for serious storms.

  • Patented Magnetic Track — No Zippers, No Jams: Instead of traditional zipper-style tracks (which often snag, jam, or need re-wrapping), MagnaTrack uses an exclusive dual-pull magnetic system. Rare-earth neodymium magnets embedded along the track and screen edges give the system over 10× the pulling force of standard systems. That means a self-tensioning, self-correcting track every time you deploy — no hangups, no rewraps, and minimal maintenance.

  • Wind & Debris Impact Resistance: The magnetic track isn’t just about smooth operation — it also dampens wind loads and impact from flying debris, reducing wind pressure and debris impact by as much as 30%. That makes it far more durable in storms compared to fixed-track or zipper systems.

  • Large-Span Coverage: Whether you’re protecting a traditional patio, a wide lanai, or an expansive garage opening — MagnaTrack screens can cover up to 30 feet wide by 20 feet tall (with some limitations), making them suitable even for oversized spaces.

  • Year-Round Use — Not Just for Storms: Defender screens are not just for hurricanes. They also offer insect protection, solar shading, privacy, and glare reduction. Use them daily to transform outdoor spaces into comfortable, usable rooms — bug-free, shaded, and ready for any weather.

🏡 Everyday Benefits Beyond Storm Protection

  • Insect & Pest Defense: The tightly woven screen mesh helps keep mosquitoes, flies, no-see-ums, and other pests out — so you can enjoy evenings outside without bug spray.

  • Sun & Heat Shielding: On sunny days, the screens block harmful UV rays and reduce glare — which helps keep patios cooler and protects furniture from sun damage.

  • Privacy & Comfort: The retractable nature lets you close off your outdoor space when desired — perfect for privacy, entertaining, or creating a cozy outdoor room.

  • Smart Home Integration: Defender screens are motorized and compatible with modern home automation systems. With smartphone control or remote operation, it’s easy to deploy the screens before a storm — or simply for everyday convenience.

🛠️ Retrofit or New Build — Designed for Flexibility

Whether you’re building a new home, renovating an existing patio, or converting a garage or lanai, MagnaTrack has you covered:

  • Residential & Commercial applications: Suitable for patios, windows, garages, gazebos, restaurants, and more.

  • Customizable to match your style: Screens come in multiple standard extrusion colors — and even custom colors to match your home or building aesthetic.

  • Easy maintenance & long-term durability: Heavy-duty powder-coated aluminum housings, stainless steel fasteners, and corrosion-resistant materials mean your investment lasts. Many components come with long warranties.

✅ Is MagnaTrack Right for You?

If you live in an area prone to storms or hurricanes — or simply want to make your outdoor living spaces safer, more functional, and comfortable year-round — Defender Hurricane Screens are one of the smartest upgrades you can make. They’re especially appealing for:

  • Homeowners with patios, lanais, or poolside areas.

  • Families who want to enjoy outdoor living without worrying about bugs, sun or sudden weather changes.

  • Anyone seeking a low-maintenance, high-durability solution for outdoor protection.

  • Builders or renovators aiming to add value (and resale appeal) through a high-quality outdoor screen system.
