Commercial Hospitality & Estate Management Clear Vinyl Systems
Transform your patio into a highly profitable, all-weather asset
For a restaurant, country club, or hospitality venue in South Carolina, an outdoor patio is prime real estate. But when the weather turns—be it blistering afternoon sun, a sudden lowcountry thunderstorm, or evening mosquitoes—that patio instantly becomes a liability.Every time a rain cloud forces you to clear the patio, or the summer heat keeps tables empty, you are losing guaranteed revenue.
We install MagnaTrack™ Commercial Screen Systems because they are not just an architectural amenity; they are a revenue-generating asset. By taking total control of your outdoor climate, your patio becomes reliable, bookable space, rain or shine.
Why MagnaTrack™ is the Only Choice for Commercial Venues
A commercial environment is brutal on standard screens. You cannot afford a system that jams, tears, or requires constant maintenance. Here is why MagnaTrack is the undisputed leader for hospitality venues:
Weather-Defying Wind Ratings: Standard zipper-track screens have to be rolled up the second the wind starts blowing. MagnaTrack’s patented magnetic tracking system absorbs intense wind loads while deployed. Your staff doesn't have to panic-roll the screens during a sudden gust.
Staff friendly: Your front-of-house staff is busy enough. The system operates via remote control or smart-device app. With a single button press, the entire patio is enclosed in seconds—no manual cranking, no fighting off-track zippers, and no disrupting the dining experience.
Thermal Control & Energy Savings: Our specialized solar mesh blocks up to 90% of solar heat gain before it ever enters your patio space. This dramatically reduces the strain on your commercial HVAC system and keeps your patrons cool and comfortable.
Clear Vinyl Options: Want to keep the patio open through the winter? We offer heavy-duty clear vinyl options that lock in the heat from your outdoor heaters, giving you a true four-season dining room without sacrificing the view.
OPTIMIZED OUTDOOR SPACE UTILIZATION
Offers a definitive, measurable return on investment (ROI). Financial performance is directly maximized through a proven revenue matrix:
ROI=
Operational Days×Available Seats× Average Ticket Value×
Table Turns×Capacity Utilization
The Math: If a restaurant generates an average of $50,000 per month in patio sales, even a 10%increase equals an additional $5,000 per month.
Annual Impact: That equates to $60,000 in additional revenue per year.
Payback Period:Custom patio projects typically range from $12,000 to $75,000+ depending on the size. At a 10% lift, the system pays for itself in just 3 to 14 months. If you are a high volume, high turn-around time venue, the payback time diminishes.
The Dual System Application: True Four-Season Dining
Why settle for one solution when you can have complete environmental control? Our Dual Screen Systems house two separate tracks and rollers within a single, streamlined architectural hood, giving your staff the power to adapt the patio to the exact minute-by-minute needs of your guests.
Option 1: The Four-Season Dining Setup (Solar Mesh + Clear Vinyl)
The Summer Layer (Solar Mesh): Deploy the high-flow mesh during sweltering summer days to block out 90% of the intense solar heat and keep evening mosquitoes away, all while maintaining a comfortable, open-air breeze.
The Winter Layer (Clear Vinyl): When the temperature drops or a heavy rainstorm hits, roll up the mesh and deploy the heavy-duty clear vinyl. This solid barrier blocks wind and cold while locking in the heat from your outdoor heaters—instantly turning your patio into a fully enclosed, weatherproof dining room without sacrificing the view.
Option 2: The Shade & Storm Setup (Solar Mesh + Defender Kevlar™)
The Everyday Layer (Solar Mesh): Enjoy daily comfort, bug control, and shade with our high-performance solar mesh.
The Storm Layer (Defender Kevlar™): When a major coastal storm threatens, simply deploy the heavy-duty Kevlar screens with your remote to instantly secure your building's envelope against hurricane-force winds and flying debris.
Option 3: The Ultimate 365-Day Fortress (Clear Vinyl + Defender Kevlar™) This is the ultimate setup for venues that rely heavily on heated, enclosed winter seating but want maximum utility and storm protection all year long.
The Winter Layer (Clear Vinyl): Gives you crystal-clear weatherproofing for cold winter months and chilly rains.
The Everyday & Storm Layer (Defender Kevlar™): During the summer, your Defender Kevlar™ screen functions as your everyday system. It can be deployed 365 days a year just like a standard solar screen, providing massive thermal mitigation, insect control, and rain protection. Best of all, the outward visibility remains stunning—the view out of the Defender is crisp, much like looking through polarized sunglasses. You get all the daily comfort benefits of a high-end mesh, with the added peace of mind that your patio is already a catastrophic hurricane fortress. Your staff will never waste hours hauling heavy bar equipment and patio furniture indoors when a storm approaches.
With a dual system application, your patio seamlessly transforms to handle the exact needs of the hour, giving you the ultimate advantage over unpredictable coastal weather.
Elevate & Protect Your Coastal Estate:
The Luxury of a Dual Screen System
Coastal living offers unmatched beauty, but it also demands uncompromising protection. Whether your custom estate overlooks a sweeping marsh, an oceanfront beach, or a private waterway, the outdoor living space is often the crown jewel of the home. You want to enjoy that space effortlessly, regardless of the forecast—and you need to protect it when severe weather threatens.
Standard screens force a compromise between comfort, aesthetics, and safety. But with a MagnaTrack™ Dual Screen System, you never have to choose. You can instantly transform your open-air loggia or outdoor kitchen into a fully climate-controlled extension of your home, or secure it into a hurricane-rated fortress—all at the touch of a button, without sacrificing your home's architectural beauty.
Clear Vinyl: The Ultimate Four-Season Upgrade
1. Uninterrupted, Crystal-Clear Views You invested in your coastal property for the view. Our heavy-duty clear vinyl operates like a massive, retractable glass wall. When the temperature drops, the wind howls, or the coastal pollen is heavy, you can deploy the vinyl to completely seal the space while maintaining a crisp, unobstructed view of the water.
2. Protecting High-Value Outdoor Assets Custom estates feature high-end outdoor kitchens, luxury furnishings, premium electronics, and delicate rugs. A clear vinyl system acts as an impenetrable barrier against driving rain, corrosive salt spray, and the heavy spring pollen drop. Instead of spending hours covering furniture or bringing cushions inside, simply deploy the vinyl to instantly seal and protect your outdoor investments.
3. True Four-Season Entertaining By deploying the clear vinyl and turning on your patio heaters, you capture and lock in the warmth. Your patio instantly becomes a cozy, weatherproof conservatory, allowing you to host elegant dinner parties outdoors, even in the middle of winter.
Defender Kevlar™: Uncompromising Coastal Protection
1. Catastrophic Hurricane Defense For a coastal estate, storm protection is not optional, but traditional metal shutters are an eyesore that disrupt your home's design. The Defender Kevlar™ screen is engineered from woven aramid fibers to withstand extreme, hurricane-force winds and deflect flying debris. When a named storm approaches, you simply press a button on your remote. Your home's envelope is instantly secured, and your heavy outdoor furniture is safely locked inside.
2. 365-Day Luxury Utility Unlike traditional storm shutters that sit unused for years, the Defender Kevlar™ screen is designed for everyday luxury. During the summer, it functions exactly like a premium solar screen. It provides massive thermal mitigation by blocking intense solar heat and keeps evening coastal mosquitoes at bay.
3. The "Polarized" View While the Kevlar mesh is incredibly dense and strong, the outward visibility remains stunning. Looking out through a deployed Defender screen is crisp and clear, much like looking through high-end polarized sunglasses, significantly cutting the harsh glare coming off the water.
The Dual System:
Tailored for Custom Coastal Homes
For the ultimate in residential luxury and security, a Dual System houses two independent screens in a single, flush-mounted architectural hood. This allows your outdoor space to adapt to the exact needs of the moment:
Option 1 (The Four-Season Setup): Solar Mesh + Clear Vinyl Deploy the high-flow solar mesh during sweltering summer afternoons to block 90% of the sun's glare, protecting your interior hardwood floors from UV fading and keeping bugs out. Roll up the mesh and drop the clear vinyl when a sudden thunderstorm approaches, or during the chilly winter months, to create a fully sealed, heated "glass-like" room.
Option 2 (The Ultimate Coastal Fortress): Clear Vinyl + Defender Kevlar™ This is the premier setup for the luxury coastal estate. You get the crystal-clear weatherproofing of the vinyl for cold winter months and chilly rains. During the summer, your Defender Kevlar™ screen functions as your everyday comfort layer—blocking heat, glare, and bugs. When hurricane season peaks, you already have a catastrophic-rated storm barrier built seamlessly into your home.
How MagnaTrack™ Dual Screen Systems Are Installed
Despite housing two completely independent heavy-duty screens, the MagnaTrack dual system is engineered for a streamlined, architectural finish. The secret is in the custom extrusions—the housing and tracks are specifically designed to hold two rollers and two screen meshes within one cohesive unit, rather than just bolting two separate standard screens together.
Here is a breakdown of how the dual systems are physically mounted and integrated into a commercial patio or residential structure:
1. The Single Architectural Hood Unlike standard systems that clumsily bolt two separate boxes together, our dual screens are engineered for aesthetic perfection. Both screens—such as your Clear Vinyl and Defender Kevlar™—are rolled onto their own independent, heavy-duty aluminum tubes. Both of these motorized tubes are housed seamlessly inside a single, slightly larger, extruded aluminum top hood. This unified cassette maintains a clean architectural profile while completely protecting the motors and rolled-up screens from the coastal elements.
2. The Three Primary Mounting Methods Depending on your venue's architecture and whether it is a new build or a retrofit, the top hood and side tracks can be mounted in three different ways:
Inside Mount (Jamb Mount): The hood and the side tracks are installed directly between your existing columns or pillars. This creates a very clean, flush look where the screen drops down exactly within the opening.
Surface Mount (Face Mount): The system is attached directly to the outside face (or inside face) of the structural beams and columns. This is often used when you want the screens to drop down slightly in front of the pillars to clear existing handrails, stonework, or structural obstructions.
Recessed Mount (Hidden): Ideal for new construction or major renovations. The dual hood is built directly into the ceiling or soffit cavity, and the side tracks are built into the walls. When the screens are rolled up, the entire system is completely invisible.
3. The Dual-Channel Side Tracks Just like the top hood holds two rollers, the vertical side tracks (which attach to your pillars or walls) are extruded with two separate magnetic channels.
The inner channel guides the first screen (e.g., Clear Vinyl).
The outer channel guides the second screen (e.g., Defender Kevlar).
Because they use MagnaTrack's patented magnetic system, both screens stay perfectly tensioned in their respective channels and can operate independently or at the same time without interfering with each other.
4. Structural Anchoring & Wiring Because a dual system carries the weight of two heavy materials and two motorized rollers, it requires robust structural mounting. The installation team uses heavy-duty, weather-resistant anchors driven deeply into your structural wood, steel, or masonry. The wiring for both internal tubular motors is cleanly routed through the top hood and directly into your building's electrical system, leaving no messy, exposed wires.
