Question 1

How much do motorized patio screens cost in Vancouver WA?

Accepted Answer

Every MagnaTrack motorized patio screen is custom-built and field-measured, so pricing is quoted per project rather than from a fixed price list. Cost depends on the opening size, fabric (insect, solar, clear vinyl, or storm), motor, and mounting. FeltsCustoms offers free on-site estimates with exact measurements in Vancouver WA, Portland OR, and surrounding areas — reach out for a custom quote.

Question 2

Do motorized screens work in the rain and Pacific Northwest weather?

Accepted Answer

Yes. MagnaTrack screens are specifically designed to handle sideways rain, wind-driven rain, and the humidity typical of the Pacific Northwest. The patented tensioning system keeps the screen taut in wind. Our vinyl systems in particular are popular for creating fully enclosed year-round outdoor spaces. We recommend retracting screens during sustained high-wind events above 35 mph.

Question 3

What is MagnaTrack GEN 4?

Accepted Answer

MagnaTrack GEN 4 is the current generation of Progressive Screens' patented motorized retractable screen system (US Patent 9719292). It features a roll-formed aluminum extrusion housing, upgraded side channels with improved tensioning, and compatibility with Simu, Gaposa, and Somfy smart home motors. FeltsCustoms is an authorized GEN 4 dealer serving Vancouver WA and Portland OR.

Question 4

What is the maximum size for a motorized patio screen?

Accepted Answer

MagnaTrack GEN 4 screens can be made up to 30 feet wide and 30 feet tall in a single drop. Multiple screens can be joined side-by-side to cover wider openings. The system requires a 10-inch housing at maximum widths. We have installed screens up to 24 feet tall by 30 feet wide in commercial settings.

Question 5

Are MagnaTrack screens compatible with smart home systems?

Accepted Answer

Yes. MagnaTrack GEN 4 is compatible with Somfy motorization and integrates with Bond Bridge for smart home control via Apple HomeKit, Google Home, Amazon Alexa, SmartThings, and most major platforms. Gaposa MTD solar motors charge via built-in solar panel and support Z-Wave/Zigbee automation. We handle all programming during installation.

Question 6

Do you serve Portland OR as well as Vancouver WA?

FeltsCustoms serves both sides of the Columbia River — all of Clark County WA (Vancouver, Camas, Washougal, Ridgefield, Battle Ground) and the greater Portland OR metro (Beaverton, Lake Oswego, Tigard, Tualatin, Hillsboro, Gresham, West Linn, Oregon City, Happy Valley). Free on-site estimates throughout the entire service area.

Question 7

What warranty comes with MagnaTrack screens?

Accepted Answer
