FSI installs MagnaTrack motorized screens for Puget Sound homeowners who want a screen system engineered to handle Pacific Northwest conditions without jamming, tearing, or failing after two seasons.
Most motorized screens use zipper tracks. Zippers jam under wind pressure. Once jammed the screen will not retract and the fabric tears.
MagnaTrack uses a patented dual-pull magnetic track that eliminates the zipper entirely. The screen flexes under wind load and returns to position. The system eliminates 98 percent of the service calls that come with zipper competitors. That is why FSI installs it. And that is why FSI is MagnaTrack's preferred dealer in the Puget Sound.

FEATURE 1
No zipper. No jamming. The magnetic dual-pull system flexes under wind pressure and collision, returns to position automatically. US Patent 9,719,292 and US Patent 11,421,474.

FEATURE 2
Patented magnetic track eliminates the top source of motorized screen failure across every competitor category. Lower maintenance. Longer life. Higher long-term value.

FEATURE 3
MagnaTrack backs the system with a limited lifetime warranty. FSI installs to manufacturer spec and stands behind the labor. One call for the life of the system.

common questions
R-BLADE add-ons available through FSI include: MagnaTrack motorized screen enclosure systems that convert the covered space into a three-season room, LED recessed lighting and LED strip lighting integrated into the pergola beam soffit, fan beam fixtures that combine airflow with integrated LED, privacy wall panels in glass or aluminum louver configurations, infrared heaters from Infratech and Bromic in ceiling-mount or post-mount configurations, outdoor TV installation with concealed cable runs, and patio and landscape speaker systems. Most FSI customers add at least screens and lighting to the base pergola installation — the combination of overhead coverage, screen enclosure, and LED lighting is what creates an outdoor room that is genuinely usable year-round.
When one contractor manages the full outdoor scope, every design decision is made with full knowledge of every other element in the space. The kitchen is designed to wrap the pergola post — which is only possible if the same team knows both the kitchen dimensions and the post location before either is fabricated. The MagnaTrack screens are sized to the pergola opening dimensions — which only works if the same team specified both. The technology wiring is run inside the structural framing — which only happens if the technology is planned before the structure is completed. None of these integrations happen by accident. They happen because one team owns the design, the materials, and the installation of every element. The alternative — hiring separate vendors for the pergola, the kitchen, the screens, and the technology — produces a backyard where each element was done by someone who never spoke to the others. FSI eliminates that sequence entirely.
FSI's complete outdoor living package is a fully managed outdoor construction engagement that covers every element of an outdoor living space under one contract. The standard scope includes: full design consultation and property walkthrough, 3D design renderings of the complete finished space, structural base coordination including deck construction or concrete subcontractor coordination, Azenco pergola system supply and installation, MagnaTrack motorized screen installation, custom outdoor kitchen with aluminum-welded frame, cabinetry, countertop, appliances, and finish facing, outdoor technology integration including TV, patio speakers, landscape speakers, infrared heaters, LED lighting, and smart home integration, permit coordination across all applicable trades, and a final walkthrough and system activation. One team manages every element from design approval to the day FSI hands you the keys.
Yes — this is FSI's most significant operational advantage in the outdoor living market. FSI's founding team built 20 years of alarm system, low-voltage wiring, and smart home integration experience before installing their first pergola. The outdoor structure and the technology layer are not handled by separate teams. FSI's team understands how the pergola is framed, where the cable channels run inside the posts and beams, what the electrical capacity of the structure is, and how every technology component needs to be positioned relative to the structure's geometry. The outdoor living contractor who subcontracts technology to an AV company that has never been on site produces cable runs on the outside of the frame, heaters wired to the wrong breaker, and speakers placed for subcontractor convenience rather than listening position. FSI owns both the structure and the technology installation, which is why the finished result looks and performs differently.
MagnaTrack offers a manufacturer warranty on their screen systems that the company describes as the industry's best — covering the screen fabric, the motor system, and the magnetic bottom rail assembly. FSI adds a labor warranty on the installation. Exact warranty terms for both the product and the labor warranty should be confirmed with FSI at the time of proposal. The self-correcting motorized system MagnaTrack builds around is designed to eliminate the service call frequency of standard motorized screens. The magnetic bottom rail, the dual-pull motor system, and the fabric quality together produce a system with a significantly lower service rate than competing products.
Yes — MagnaTrack screens can be retrofitted to any existing covered structure that has adequate mounting points for the housing track system. The requirements are a solid header or beam to mount the housing, sufficient clearance for the housing depth at the top of the opening, and structural mounting surfaces at the sides for the guide tracks. FSI assesses the existing structure before any proposal is written to confirm mounting feasibility and identify the cleanest installation path. Most covered patios, existing pergolas, and covered outdoor rooms can accommodate MagnaTrack screens with minimal preparation work.
Most MagnaTrack screen installations take one to two days depending on the number of screen bays and integration requirements. Installations combined with a new Azenco pergola build run concurrently — the screen housing and mounting tracks are installed as part of the structure build and the screens are commissioned after the pergola installation is complete. This combined timeline does not add duration to the project in most cases. If smart home integration is involved, an additional half-day to full day may be required for programming and commissioning. FSI provides a complete project schedule when the proposal is approved.
The MagnaTrack magnetic bottom rail uses neodymium magnets embedded in the base of the screen fabric and the mounting track. When the screen descends, the magnets engage and hold the rail flush against the floor track, completely sealing the base of the screen opening. The magnetic connection is strong enough to resist wind uplift under typical Pacific Northwest conditions while still releasing cleanly when the screen is retracted upward. This is US Patent 9,719,292 — a genuine engineering advancement that resolves the structural cause of standard screen failure rather than addressing it with heavier weights or tighter spring tension, both of which increase motor wear without solving the sealing problem.
MagnaTrack's performance in wind and rain comes directly from its patented design. The magnetic bottom rail locks the screen fabric edge flush against the mounting track at the base using neodymium magnets. When the screen is fully descended, the magnetic connection holds the fabric edge in place even under sustained wind load. There is no gap for wind to enter, no lift for the fabric to bow outward, and no stress concentration at a single weighted bottom rail that can shift in gusting conditions. In the Pacific Northwest, where outdoor screens are used most heavily in fall and spring when wind events are common, this design difference directly determines whether the screen system gets used or stays retracted. The dual-pull motor system also maintains even tension across the full screen width, preventing bowing, wrinkling, and stress tears at the edges over time.
Yes — MagnaTrack screens integrate with all major smart home platforms including Lutron, Savant, Control4, Crestron, and other Gaposa-compatible control systems. FSI handles the integration in-house as part of every installation. When integration is scoped during the build, the control wiring is run inside the structural framing and the screens appear in your existing smart home interface alongside your interior shades, lighting, and climate. You can schedule the screens to drop at sunset, raise with an alarm, or trigger with a weather automation rule. FSI's founding team built 20 years of alarm system and smart home integration experience before entering outdoor living. Wiring, integration, and programming are not subcontracted. They are handled by the same team installing the screens.
