How Much Do MagnaTrack Screens Cost?

January 26, 20252 min read

When considering MagnaTrack motorized screens for your outdoor space, homeowners often ask me: How much does MagnaTrack cost? While prices can vary depending on several factors, this guide will provide the exact explanation and breakdown to help you plan your investment.

The Average Cost of MagnaTrack Screens

MagnaTrack screens by Progressive Screens are a premium choice, and their cost reflects the superior quality and innovative technology they offer. Typically, MagnaTrack screens range from $3,900 to $12,500 per screen, not including shipping and installation. The price depends on the screen size, customization options, and any additional features you choose.

Factors That Affect Pricing

1. Size of the Screen

MagnaTrack screens are custom-built to fit your space. Larger openings naturally require more materials, which increases the overall cost. The MagnaTrack system has a spaning width of up to 30 feet and achieves a final height of up to 20 feet, making it ideal for expansive outdoor areas.

2. Customization Options

From fabric choices to frame colors, MagnaTrack screens offer extensive customization to complement your home’s aesthetic. Opting for high-performance solar meshes, privacy screens, or advanced control systems can increase costs but provide enhanced functionality and style.

3. Additional Features

Features such as smartphone control, home automation integration, and environmental sensors add convenience but also affect the overall cost.

4. Installation Complexity

Installation Complexity is a huge driver of the final cost. Homes with unique architectural elements, such as columns, brick facades, or uneven surfaces, may require additional labor or custom framing, which can increase costs.

Cost of Installation

Professional installation ensures your MagnaTrack screens operate smoothly and safely. On average, installation costs range between $1,000 and $5,000 per unit, depending on the scope and complexity of the project.  

The installation will make a difference. Hiring a certified installer company like Florida Living Outdoor ensures your screens are installed precisely and carefully.
