How the Magnetic Track Works
A Self-Tensioning Track That Moves With the Screen
The MagnaTrack system uses a magnetic side-track concept designed to react under pressure and guide the screen back into position.
Simplified visual representation of the magnetic track concept.
WHY BLUE SKY INSTALLS MAGNATRACK
Not a Traditional Zipper-Style Screen
The manufacturer describes MagnaTrack as using rare-earth neodymium magnets in a free-floating track with Keder retention rather than a conventional zipper track.
SELF-CORRECTING operation
The magnetic track is designed to move under pressure and return to position.
No Traditional Zipper Track
Keder-based retention helps create a smooth, clean operating screen system.
Clean Screen Tension
The system is designed to maintain a cleaner, tensioned appearance across the opening.
Large Opening Potential
Blue Sky has completed openings up to 30 feet wide.
MagnaTrack Screen Options
Solar, Insect and Selected Specialty Configurations
Blue Sky primarily installs solar and insect screen configurations. Defender may be available for selected projects, while vinyl options should be reviewed case by case.
Solar Screens
Useful for sun control, UV reduction, glare control, daytime privacy and furniture protection.
Insect Screens
Helpful for flies, mosquitoes, outdoor dining, outdoor kitchens and evening patio use.
Defender Screens
Blue Sky can accommodate Defender for selected projects. This is a different product configuration and should be reviewed separately.
Vinyl Options
MagnaTrack also manufactures clear vinyl enclosure options. Blue Sky currently focuses on solar and insect screens.
Motors and Smart Controls
Remote, App and Compatible Smart-Home Control
Blue Sky typically installs 4-amp low-voltage Somfy or Simu motors. With a Bond Bridge, compatible screens can connect to Wi-Fi and be operated through the Bond Home app, Alexa, Google Home and supported automation platforms.

Colours, Fabrics and Openness
DESIGNED AROUND THE HOME, NOT
ADDED AS AN AFTERTHOUGHT.
Choose from MagnaTrack housing colours, track colours, fabric options and openness percentages to fit the architecture, view, privacy needs and outdoor living layout.
Darker fabrics may improve outward visibility in many conditions, while lighter fabrics can create a softer look. Final fabric selection should be reviewed for each opening.
Where MagnaTrack Can Be Installed
Built for Patios, Pergolas, Kitchens and Large Exterior Openings
MagnaTrack can be planned for several outdoor living applications when the structure, mounting surfaces, electrical needs and opening dimensions are appropriate.
Large Opening Capabilities
Proven Across Openings Up to 30 Feet
Blue Sky has completed a MagnaTrack screen opening as wide as 30 feet. That gives local homeowners a real installation proof point instead of only relying on manufacturer maximums.
Every opening still needs to be measured and reviewed for structure, mounting, electrical access, motor selection, fabric and expected use.
