FAQ – MagnaTrack in Chicago
Do I need a city permit?
Patio‑screen retrofits under 400 sq ft typically bypass Chicago’s DOB permit. We’ll confirm for your address.
Will screens handle winter snow?
Yes. The housing is powder‑coated aluminum, and the mesh rolls into the box when not in use, so snow load is minimal.
Can I automate with Alexa or Google?
Absolutely – we pair Somfy MyLink or Bond Bridge for voice & app control.
