Question 1

What are the best commercial patio screens for Boise restaurants?

Accepted Answer

For Boise restaurants, hotels, breweries, and public patios, MagnaTrack motorized exterior screens are a strong choice when the project calls for wind stability, insect control, solar mesh or clear vinyl, and large custom openings. Boise Blinds measures the site and recommends fabric, controls, and mounting details for the specific patio.

Question 2

Can commercial patio screens help keep bugs out?

Accepted Answer

Yes. When commercial screens are specified and installed for the opening, they can create a more protected patio perimeter that helps reduce insects, birds, leaves, dust, pollen, and wind-borne debris. They are not a substitute for permanent sealed construction, and performance depends on the complete patio layout.

Question 3

How much wind can MagnaTrack commercial screens handle?

Accepted Answer

Progressive Screens states that MagnaTrack is rated for wind gusts up to 75 MPH. Actual project performance depends on the opening size, fabric, structure, mounting, and installation, so Boise Blinds evaluates those conditions during the commercial site visit.

Question 4

What fabric openness is best for a restaurant patio?

Accepted Answer

A tighter solar-mesh openness provides more sun, glare, and privacy control, while a more open mesh preserves more outward visibility. Clear vinyl may be considered when seasonal temperature and weather protection matter more than airflow. The best choice depends on sun direction, views, privacy, ventilation, and the way guests use the patio.

Question 5

Can MagnaTrack screens be added to an existing commercial patio?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Progressive Screens states that MagnaTrack can be installed on existing residential and commercial structures as well as new construction. A site visit is required to confirm mounting surfaces, structural conditions, electrical access, opening dimensions, and any coordination with existing patio equipment.

Question 6

How large can a MagnaTrack commercial patio screen be?

Accepted Answer

Boise Blinds can provide commercial MagnaTrack screens up to 30 feet wide. Final maximum size depends on the opening height, fabric, structure, motor, head box, mounting conditions, and project requirements, so each large opening must be engineered and quoted individually.

Question 7

Can commercial patio screens be motorized and automated?

Accepted Answer

Yes. MagnaTrack commercial screens are motorized and can be configured with handheld or in-wall controls, app-based operation, scheduling, and compatible commercial control integrations. Available controls depend on the motor and project design.
