Say Bye Bye to Bugs with Solar Shades on the Patio

Spending time outside, especially in the sanctuary of your own patio in Fairfield County, is one of life's simplest pleasures. These spaces serve as a backdrop to precious moments. Imagine a peaceful morning with a cup of coffee or a lively evening gathering with friends. It's all made better without intrusive insects, gusty winds, or the sun's harsh glare.

The patented MagnaTrack System from Progressive Screens removes the frustrations of inferior shading options, such as corrosion, air and light gaps, and fabric tears, making a robust, reliable screen you can enjoy all year round.

Outdoor Screens Improve Patio Hangouts

Natural light boosts your mood and health, while fresh air invigorates the senses. Unfortunately, pesky insects can turn a relaxing evening into a nuisance, and the sun's intense glare can make daytime lounging uncomfortable. Prolonged exposure to UV rays can also harm your skin and degrade furniture. Add solar shades to your outdoor areas to combat this to create a comfortable and inviting space.

What Do Solar Shades Do?

One of the most impressive features of this porch addition is its protection against whatever Mother Nature can throw at them! Screens offer superb defense against insects and up to 97% protection against UV rays (depending on your fabric selections), so your patio remains a safe, shaded haven regardless of the weather. 

Screens are motorized and operated easily via remote, wall switch, or integrated smart home systems. This convenient feature allows quick screen adjustment to adapt to changing weather conditions or personal comfort and privacy needs without any physical hassle.

It’s Time to Invest in Long-Lasting Solar Screens

Whether it's a patio, lanai, freestanding gazebo, or covered porch, Progressive Screens is well-known for its customized-to-fit offerings that accommodate various architectural styles, dimensions, and color preferences. 

Your backyard can become an aesthetically pleasing, fully functional space built to last. Waterproof, flame-resistant screen fabrics and powder-coated aluminum casings with stainless steel fasteners ensure longevity and low maintenance that other brands cannot compete with. 

More on the MagnaTrack System

MagnaTrack is Progressive Screens’ self-tensioning magnetic design that effectively self-corrects shades and keeps them on the track. This patented system uses a self-correcting Keder interlock guided by powerful neodymium magnets to ensure screens glide smoothly along their tracks without any snags or hang-ups. 

The Defender Series is engineered to withstand winds up to 156 mph, equivalent to a CAT-5 hurricane! The magnets separate as the wind blows, keeping hold of the edges while letting the fabric expand. When the wind stops, the magnets immediately come back together, pulling the fabric tight again. This unique tensioning movement keeps screens aligned, reducing the majority of patio screen service calls.

This system removes the frustration of fumbling with misaligned or corroded zippers whenever you want to raise or lower screens. Strong, quiet operation and a heavily weighted bottom bar that stays in place round out the list of value-adding features. The result is uninterrupted use as the system adjusts itself to maintain tension and function flawlessly without your intervention.
