Here comes the shade

Instead of cranking the AC, Phantom Screens offers a smarter solution. Our motorized screens with solar mesh block the sun’s rays, keeping your home cooler naturally and saving you energy. They don’t help keep the exterior spaces cool. By mounting screens on the outside of openings and windows, you stop the heat before it enters your home, keeping your space cool and comfortable all summer long.

Indoor Comfort

A tighter mesh on Phantoms’ motorized screens keeps the sun and heat off your space and your furnishings. Avoid the sun glare on electronics and fading from happening to furniture and furnishings. So watch your favourite show whenever you want, and keep your prints, paintings, or portraits protected.
