FAQ

MagnaTrack Cost Questions

How much do MagnaTrack screens cost?

Most motorized MagnaTrack screens for a typical patio opening, 8 to 16 feet wide and 8 to 10 feet tall, cost about $4,000 to $7,100 per screen at 2026 manufacturer list price, with the motor included. Small openings start around $3,300, and spans up to 30 feet wide can cost more than $10,000.

How much do motorized patio screens cost per screen?

At 2026 MSRP, a standard 10 foot wide by 8 foot tall motorized screen runs about $4,200 for insect mesh, $4,500 for solar, $5,100 for Defender hurricane, and $5,200 for clear vinyl.

Why do Defender hurricane screens cost more?

Defender screens use heavy-duty hurricane fabric and reinforced components rated for 156+ mph Category 5 winds. At the same size, they typically cost about 20% more than an insect screen, and they replace plywood and metal storm shutters.

Is the motor included in the price?

Yes. Every motorized MagnaTrack screen includes the housing, roller, side tracks, weighted bottom bar, screen fabric, and a Gaposa motor. A Bond Bridge Pro smart hub is included with every order. Remotes and wall switches are added separately, from $125.

Is installation included in these prices?

The prices on this page are manufacturer's suggested retail prices for the screens themselves. Installation, U-channel for uneven floors, build-out framing, custom colors, and tax are quoted separately after we measure your openings.

Are fixed screens cheaper than retractable screens?

Yes. Fixed MagnaTrack screens use the same magnetic track without a motor or housing. Insect and solar fixed screens cost about $13 to $24 per square foot, and hurricane fixed screens about $15 to $28 per square foot, with lower rates for larger screens.

Can the frame match my house color?

Yes. Standard frame colors are included at no extra cost. For an exact match to your trim or columns, custom Tiger Drylac powder coating offers more than 150 colors, starting at $1,000 per opening.

How do I get an exact price?
