Self-correcting edge
The fabric edge is magnetically captured, helping it re-seat itself as the shade raises or lowers.

Schedule a ConsultationWhy MagnaTrack
A smarter track for wind, impact, and everyday use.
Traditional zipper-track screens work by forcing the fabric edge through a fixed zipper channel. When wind, debris, or pressure knocks that edge out of alignment, the screen can bind or need a reset.
MagnaTrack replaces that zipper with magnetic keder retention. The shade edge can flex and release under stress, then the magnets pull it back into the track as it moves.
- Self-correcting magnetic keder track
- No exposed zipper teeth to grind or jam
- Rated for demanding outdoor conditions
- Great for residential and commercial openings
Track Advantage
Built to reduce service headaches.
Smoother movement
Less friction than a zipper-track design means cleaner travel, especially on larger openings.
Cleaner look
MagnaTrack gives patios a refined finished edge without visible zipper teeth along the side tracks.
Local Comparison Guide
Why Lubbock buyers compare MagnaTrack with zipper-track screens.
Wind and impact
When gusts push on the fabric, MagnaTrack is designed so the edge can release under pressure and re-seat with magnetic retention as it travels.
Less binding
Zipper-track systems can grind, jam, or require reset when the zipper teeth leave the channel. MagnaTrack avoids exposed zipper teeth along the side tracks.
Homes and businesses
The same self-correcting track advantage can help covered residential patios, restaurants, office patios, and commercial outdoor spaces in Lubbock.
Why magnetic keder matters in Lubbock
A track system made for sun, gusts, bugs, and daily patio use.
Wind movement
Lubbock wind can push against a shade edge without warning. MagnaTrack uses magnetic keder retention so the fabric edge can release under pressure and re-seat as the shade travels, instead of relying on zipper teeth staying perfectly aligned.
Dust and debris
Outdoor screens around West Texas collect dust, cotton, leaves, and fine debris. A clean track design helps reduce the binding issues that can show up when a rigid zipper channel gets dirty or stressed.
Residential and commercial
The same system can support a backyard patio, pool cabana, outdoor kitchen, restaurant seating area, or office patio where motorized shade needs to look finished and operate smoothly.
Local screen planning
Where Lubbock homeowners and businesses use MagnaTrack screens.
For homes in Southwest Lubbock, LakeRidge, Ransom Canyon, Wolfforth, Shallowater, and nearby communities, MagnaTrack screens are often used on covered patios, outdoor kitchens, pergolas, and pool areas. The most common goals are heat control during long summer evenings, privacy from neighbors or streets, and fewer bugs when the patio lights come on.
Commercial spaces use the same benefits in a different way. Restaurant patios, hospitality areas, event venues, and office courtyards need a system that staff can operate quickly and that guests can sit near comfortably. Solar mesh helps with glare and heat. Clear vinyl helps when wind blocking and visibility are the main goals. Frame color and housing placement keep the system looking intentional on the building.

How Woodberry Builds compares screen options
The track, fabric, controls, and opening all work together.
A strong patio screen decision is not only about the fabric. The track style, opening shape, bottom bar, motor, controls, and side exposure all affect how the shade feels in daily use. On a Lubbock patio, we look at where the shade will catch the most wind, where dust collects, how often the space is used, and whether the goal is heat control, privacy, bug control, or wind blocking. That helps us decide when solar mesh is the cleaner answer and when clear vinyl deserves a closer look.
