Are Motorized Patio Screens Worth It?

February 10, 20253 min read

Are Motorized Patio Screens Worth the Investment?

How about upgrading your outdoor space? Motorized patio screens have become a top choice and interest for homeowners in Florida seeking to blend comfort, convenience, and value. But are they worth it? Let’s break down the benefits and see why MagnaTrack motorized screens by Progressive Screens are leading the market.

What Do Motorized Screens Offer?

Comfort and Control

Motorized screens offer the best of comfort and control. Take charge of your outdoor environment effortlessly. Click a button and watch your motorized screen deploy. It is that simple. Click a button.

  • Block Out the Sun: Stay calm and shaded on hot days. Better yet. Close the screens on a cold day and block out the Florida cold.

  • Reduce Wind and Rain Exposure: Enjoy your patio even during light weather changes.

  • Keep Bugs Away: Create a bug-free zone for relaxing or entertaining.

Effortless Convenience

Modern motorized screens bring high-tech solutions to your home, including:

  • Remote and App Control: Adjust your screens instantly, even from your phone.

  • Smart Home Integration: Sync them with your home automation system for seamless operation.

  • Automatic Programming: Schedule your screens to raise or lower based on the time of day or weather.

Energy Savings

These screens don’t just add comfort—they can help you save on energy bills:

  • Cool Summers: Block UV rays to keep your home cooler, reducing the need for air conditioning.

  • Warm Winters: Open up the screens to let in natural sunlight during cooler months.

Privacy and Style

Motorized screens add privacy without compromising aesthetics. With a wide range of fabric and frame options, they can be customized to match your home’s style. The MagnaTrack system, in particular, offers a sleek and polished look, eliminating the need for bulky posts or frames.

Durability and Long-Term Value

Durability is where motorized systems truly stand out compared to traditional screens. MagnaTrack screens, for example, are engineered to handle Florida’s unpredictable weather, including strong winds and heavy rains. All units are built with rust-resistant aluminum and stainless steel, these screens are designed to last for years with minimal maintenance. The patented self-correcting technology ensures smooth operation and reduces the need for repairs, making them a reliable long-term investment.

Why MagnaTrack Stands Out

Not all motorized screens are created equal, and MagnaTrack stands out for several reasons:

  • Patented Magnetic Technology: Prevents common issues like jams and ensures smooth operation.

  • Hurricane-Ready Design: Withstands winds up to 75 mph.

  • Customizable Options: Choose the type of screen—solar, insect, or privacy—and personalize the colors and controls to suit your space.

Weighing the Costs and Benefits

While motorized screens can have a higher upfront cost than fixed options, the benefits they offer far outweigh the investment. They enhance the functionality of your outdoor space, improve energy efficiency, and even increase your home’s resale value. These features make motorized screens a worthwhile addition to any home.
