Perfect for both new and existing homes, our custom design door screens offer the best of both worlds - uninterrupted views and natural ventilation combined with protection from insects and harsh glare of the sun. A Room with a View Phantom s retractable door screens selected for a year-round gathering space One of the great things about choosing a Phantom door screen is that you have a couple of options when it comes to closure: MAGNET CLOSURE Cover all door types including patio sliders, in-swing, out-swing, and double-french doors. It is the original retractable door screen by Phantom Screens that uses a magnet latching system. LATCHING HANDLE Suitable for all door types; the only retractable door screen with an integrated Latch & Release handle. This unique feature makes it easy to use, quiet to operate and secure from unintended openings. Interior designer, Stephen Saint-Onge, turned a run-down patio into a year-round entertaining room. He designed this dining area with large windows and French-doors that open to the backyard. Stephen selected Phantom for the gorgeous French-doors. The screens are pulled out when needed; and they blend into the door so they do not detract from the design of the space while perfectly preserving the gorgeous views through the changing seasons.
PRODUCTS Retractable Window Screens When you ve selected high quality windows for your home, you want to ensure that their design remains unobstructed. Phantom s window screens do just that. Unlike conventional fixed screens, they don t obstruct your view, retracting out of sight when not needed. Historic Boston Home Phantom retractable window screens help save heritage home There are two retractable window screen options from Phanotm. Whatever your windows - or the look you want - there s a screen that will be perfect for you: FOR PVC OR ALUMINUM WINDOWS Cover all window types including casement, awning, single and double-hung, sliding and tilt & turn windows. They provide solar shading, enhanced privacy and protection from insects while maintaining views. FOR CUSTOM WOOD INDOWS Designed for custom wood windows to b lend with the window frame. Available in seven wood species, these window screens ensure a near perfect match to the window. This Boston Colonial home, built in 1912, was on the verge of deterioration after decades of neglect. During renovation, a screening solution was needed that met the strict Massachusetts Historical Society guidelines; therefore, Phantom retractable window screens were chosen. The screens are custom made to match the varying sizes and colors of the original windows.

So, in the heat of the summer you can keep in the cool air and in the winter you can keep the cold air out! Then for the perfect days of spring and fall you can have fresh air with no mosquitoes.

Design Series: The Hasserton Phantom s motorized retractable screens offer open spaces with uninterrupted views These motorized retractable screens can be recessed from view, or mounted on existing structures. With the option of dual rollers, motorized retractable wall screens can be integrated into every type of architectural style including wood, brick, stucco, natural stone, and concrete. Phantom s motorized screens can also be programmed to retract with sun and wind sensors, and be connected to the building s automation system. For this home, architect Wayne Visbeen needed a screening solution for the front porch that would protect them from insects without compromising the home s architecture and unique design or blocking their breathtaking view of the lake. Phantom s motorized screens were built into the house s columns, completely hiding from view when not in use; therefore, preserving the design of the home. The retractable screen s mesh ensures the homeowner s views are unobstructed.
