Magna Track & Defender Series

Progressive Screens’ NEW patented MagnaTrack™ system overcomes any inherent hangup issues, like re-wrapping or dislodging shades from sidetracks. The MagnaTrack system will never get hung or dislodge and is only available in Hawaii through Signature Shade Solutions.  The system utilizes internal neodymium magnets that allow the inner kedar track to free float with no mechanical fasteners. 

It self-adjusts for un-level surfaces and is self-tensioning, so your screen is always taut. The magnets act like a shock absorber for your screen, which has give but always stays tight!  MagnaTrack™ is the only self-correcting motorized screen in the industry! GUARANTEED to outperform any competitive product and built to last a lifetime. 

Max Width: 30ft  //  Max Drop: 20ft

Hurricane Screen Defender Series

Looks just like a regular roller shade, only STRONGER!  Signature Shade Solutions offers the Defender Screen from Progressive Screens. Their structurally-engineered roller and weight bars are unparalleled in strength, rigidity, and durability.

​The Defender Hurricane Screen System uses MagnaTrack™ technology that is integrated with an exclusive reinforcement channel; this is the only system in the world that uses magnetic fields to dampen the impact of wind loads and flying debris while maintaining a flat and uniform normal screen surface appearance when deployed. Self Adjusting Technology (SAT) is built into every system, which allows the screen to freely deploy in windy conditions without hang-ups or rewraps, common in other competitive products. 

Hurricane Tough Mesh:  All Defender Screens use a blend of high tenacity PET and Aramid core yarns encapsulated with a durable vinyl mesh screen that defends against severe hurricanes, insects, solar rays, and offers maximum outdoor privacy. It also protects your structure from Category 5 hurricane winds, exceeding 156 mph with any heavy, flying debris. All fabrics used in Defender Screens come with a 10-year warranty.
