Which System Belongs on Your Residential Project?

Residential motorized screen projects are not one specification. Application type, wind exposure zone, and span determine the right system — and the wrong specification creates field problems that trace back to the construction document. Here is the framework.

Inland Patios and Covered Outdoor Living

For residential projects in non-coastal, moderate wind exposure zones — covered patios, outdoor living rooms, pergola-attached screens — OneTrack™ is the specification. The Lock Tight Keder single-track system at 100 MPH handles the application with a minimal track profile and quiet motor operation suited to the residential environment. Lifetime warranty. 99% fewer service calls than conventional systems.

Lanai Enclosures — Florida and Coastal Southeast

The Florida lanai is the primary residential application for both systems, and the specification depends on the wind exposure zone of the specific project site. For inland and standard wind zone lanai applications, OneTrack™ meets the specification requirement. For coastal projects — Gulf Coast, Atlantic barrier islands, and any site within Miami-Dade or Broward county boundaries — MaxForce™ at 185 MPH with Florida Product Approval FL# 8637R11 is the code-appropriate specification.

Pool and Spa Enclosures

Pool enclosure applications introduce humidity exposure, corrosion considerations, and often span dimensions that affect system selection. Both OneTrack™ and MaxForce™ use aluminum extrusion with powder-coat finishes suitable for pool environments. System selection follows wind exposure zone. For coastal pool enclosures where the project site is in a hurricane zone, MaxForce™ with marine-grade corrosion-resistant finish is the specification.

High-Wind and Hurricane-Zone Residential

For any residential project on the Gulf or Atlantic coast of Florida, in designated HVHZ counties, or in a jurisdiction requiring Miami-Dade NOA compliance, the specification is MaxForce™. No other retractable screen system carries the certification stack required for these jurisdictions — TAS 201, 202, 203, ASTM E1886, E1996, E330, Florida Product Approval FL# 8637R11. The specification is either MaxForce™ or it isn't certifiable.

Project Narrative (3-paragraph structure):

Paragraph 1

The Specification Challenge: What the project required. What the site conditions, span, wind exposure zone, or design intent demanded of the system. Written from the professional's perspective — not the manufacturer's.

Paragraph 2

The System Selected and Why: Which system was specified and the engineering rationale. Wind rating match. Span compatibility. Application fit. Certification requirements. Why OneTrack™ or MaxForce™ was the right specification for this particular project — on the merits.

Paragraph 3

The Outcome: How the installation performed against the specification intent. Architect or designer attribution and voice where available. Any notable performance data, post-installation observations, or client response that speaks to specification quality.

BE IN THE KNOW....

Don't let costly mistakes, wrong designs, wrong applications, or warranty-voiding your motorized screen investment. Manufacture are in the business of selling screens, contractors can cut corners, and many products often under perform promises. Don't be a victum. BE IN THE KNOW before you commit: understanding proper wind-load ratings, motor specifications, and installation requirements is the difference between screens that protect your home for decades and those that fail when you need them most is a simple choice, a choice of being an informed consumer.
