Dine like the Italians

In Italian, “al fresco” simply means to dine in the open air. What is it about sitting outdoors that makes a meal that much more enjoyable? Studies show that being one with nature helps boost our mood and is amazing for our wellbeing. But most of all, al fresco dining should be about experiencing a memorable night with family and friends.   

Centerpieces and table settings that match your personality 

Dining outdoors doesn’t mean you have to be more casual. Love going all out and making a statement? Go for it. Let your personality shine through and get creative. Whether it’s a small get-together with your immediate family or an intimate gathering of friends, setting a unique, extravagant or even quirky table can let your personality and dinner atmosphere shine. 

Creating a dining experience that matches your home, your interests, or your personality makes dining experiences much more special.  No need to buy new outdoor dishes to create the perfect al fresco dining experience, use what you have. Head into your kitchen and bring out your favorite plates, vases and other decor outside to create a unique dining area. Add cut flowers and greenery from your own backyard or your local florist to bring elements of nature to the table. This is super easy to do and makes an immediate difference to the table. 

P.S. While sticking with one style of dishware is traditional, it’s also fun to incorporate mismatched dishes and glasses. 

Eye-catching lighting

We all know how lighting can set the tone and mood of any soiree. String lights create an ambient mood like nothing else. Draping them across your covered porch or patio ensures you can enjoy your patio well past sunset. Incorporating floor lanterns and candles is one of the easiest sources of decorative lighting. Nothing speaks to romance and intimate settings more than candles. Try different sizes scattered around your patio/deck, or for a safer option, buy LED candles. 

Summer playlist of tunes creates the mood

Whether indoors or outdoors, music can establish the mood for any party. With wireless portable Bluetooth speakers, putting together your best playlist of fun, upbeat music has never been easier. The secret to a crowd-pleasing list is to ensure you have at least three hours of music planned, starting with mellow tunes, there’s a ton of soft music playlists available online. Or get the party started with upbeat songs that will get your guest’s energy up. To encourage conversation and not bother your neighbors, make sure to keep the music at a respectable volume.  

We have confidence that you’ll find the perfect playlist for whatever your occasion is to make sure the party lasts all night, the mood is set for your dinner dates and the vibes are perfect for family dinner.  

An outdoor escape for dinner… without a suitcase, but with a Phantom Screen

With Phantom’s retractable screens for doors, windows, and large openings, you celebrate life’s milestones and family gatherings surrounded by the sights and sounds of nature. Expand your living space to host more people or to create a fresh, new atmosphere. With an enclosed space, you never have to worry about bugs, the weather, or curious eyes of the neighbors. 

We’d love to see how to create the perfect outdoor space. Share your unique outdoor space with us!

The post Make every meal al fresco with a twist appeared first on Phantom Screens.

Accustomed to filming around the globe, the equally accomplished writer and director loves nothing more than coming home to her family’s private retreat in British Columbia. 

To complete this outdoor oasis Sarah and her husband, Josh, spent a dozen years saving and planning for a space that reflected Sarah’s serene, laid-back demeanor. The surrounding forests are the backdrop to this grand patio space, with reclaimed old-growth forest wooden beams that were passed down to Sarah from a demolished shop in town.

We love how Sarah connected with nature. You can, too, no matter the size of your space or the season of the year.

Sarah first discovered the “screened in porch” idea while shooting The Walking Dead in Atlanta. These fixed screened porches are a must in Atlanta to keep the bugs out, and she loved being saved from bites. Later, when Sarah and her husband returned to their home on the west coast, they saw motorized screens on the patio at a local restaurant. Watching in awe as the waiter pushed a button for the screens to come down, they knew they needed to learn more about Phantom Screens. Her husband immediately jumped on the phone with their local installer.

Sarah fell in love with the ease of pushing a button to create the perfect outdoor space for entertaining and, of course, showing off her new screened space to her friends and family.

Sarah fell in love with the ease of pushing a button to create the perfect outdoor space for entertaining and, of course, showing off her new screened space to her friends and family.  

The Phantom Screens installers worked with Sarah and Josh’s wishes to preserve the old-growth beams. “We wanted to salvage the hand-hewed look of the beams,” explains Sarah. “The installer found a very cool way to mount the screens on the outside so that they are totally unobstructed, they vanish out of sight. No one even knows they are there until they come down.” 

The biggest surprise Sarah found was how much heat the screens can retain accompanying her outdoor heaters, which are perfect for dinners. “It is always an honour to share this space with friends and family,” says Sarah. “Everybody’s mood shifts and it’s like being on vacation.” 

With protection against bugs, bites, and brisk breezes, Sarah and her family can enjoy their patio space all year. Sarah describes it as a place that “soothes the soul of everyone – family and friends alike.” 

Since 1992, Phantom Screens has helped homeowners – like Sarah – builders, and architects have it all – shade from the sun, protection from insects and UV rays, refreshing breeze, and uninterrupted views. If you are planning to make your home eco-friendlier, more comfortable and economical, Phantom Screens is for you.

The post For actor and director Sarah Wayne Callies, her screened-in porch is where her heart Is appeared first on Phantom Screens.

Mike and Carrie both have a drive for success, with Carrie’s 10-plus years of business and Mike’s need to keep busy, from his accomplished NHL career and companies, Defense First and Coach Them, to fixing things around the house. It was a match made in heaven when Mike and Carrie found Phantom Screens, allowing them to blend nature and the outdoors seamlessly with family comfort.

The lush trees and manicured lawn are the perfect backdrop to Mike and his partner Carrie Rowan’s Ontario home, and their modern yet cozy patio space is the ideal place for their family. It’s easy to see how important outdoor living is to them with the effort they put into their backyard and how often they love escaping to their farm up north.

The Problem:
Their family home is overrun by animals (the small kind!). With the three Siamese cats and an adorable little dog, Mike and Carrie are constantly on high alert to ensure their four-legged family members don’t escape. We couldn’t get through our visit with them before a chipmunk made its way over for a close-up. 

In addition to the critters (both the wanted and unwanted kind), Mike and Carrie were looking to increase their home’s square footage that allows them to breathe in the fresh air, let in more natural light, and give them more privacy from peering neighborly eyes. 

With both a covered and uncovered patio space, there was much to consider on how Phantom Screens could make their life just a little easier. 

How’d We Help? 

With their love of the outdoors, Mike and Carrie knew they wanted something to help expand their living space. With a desire to elongate the warmer Canadian seasons, enjoy the fresh air with their family, and provide privacy from their neighbors, it was only natural that Phantom Screens came to the rescue. Their needs were met with a strong defense against pests in their outdoor spaces. Their home is now equipped with several Phantom Screens products.

For their enclosed, covered patio, they now have:

• Two Phantom motorized retractable screens
• Two Phantom oversized retractable door screens
• One set of Phantom retractable door screens with captured edge option on the double doors that lead from the patio to the dining room
• One single Phantom retractable door screen with captured edge option for access from the patio to the kitchen
  

For access to their uncovered patio space, Mike and Carrie now have:

• One set of Phantom retractable door screens with captured edge option on the double doors leading from the living room to the backyard

“The nice thing about having [Phantom] Screens is, no matter what happens, no matter the changes with nature, you kind of have a space that you can know is safe of wildlife that you want to keep out, including chipmunks, birds, all that sort of stuff,” Mike Weaver said. 

Phantom Screens not only created an outdoor area ready for entertaining, these additions merge the indoors with the out to bring fresh air and sunshine into the home. With the captured edge option added to the retractable door screens, Mike and Carrie can rest assured that their pets are safe inside and no critters are getting in. 

Life Is Better When We Stick Together
Mike and Carrie can now enjoy their outdoor space to its full potential. Partnerships like this will hopefully open the eyes of even more homeowners to their homes’ untapped potential, allowing their families to enjoy the joys of the outdoors inside and take the comfort of the indoors out. We would say that’s a game-changer.

• The best defense against pests, critters, debris and sun
• Add a captured edge option to your Phantom Screens retractable door screen to keep your pets safe 
• Completely customizable to your space and needs

Phantom Screens are The Defender of…

The Bugs
Say farewell to those irritating mosquitoes and pesky flies that seem determined to crash your outdoor party. Phantom Screens act as a seamless barrier, keeping bugs at bay. Enjoy a bug-free zone and forget those bothersome bites while you soak in the beauty of the great outdoors.

The Elements
Maintaining a cozy living space is important as temperatures and the elements shift throughout the year. Keep the pollen, leaves, and debris out with Phantom Screens.

Want extra protection against the elements? Get the best of both worlds with  Phantom’s retractable vinyl screens. Whether you’re dealing with hot summers, chilly winters, or transitional months, vinyl screens offer a solution for enjoying your space regardless of the weather.

The Escape Artists

Our captured edge option helps keep your furry friends  secure, whether they’re laying in a sunny patch to sunbathe or pressing their nose against the screen to enjoy the fresh air. The captured edge option means that the mesh is secured in the tracks to keeps pets in and pests out, and prevent blow-outs in breezy conditions.

With captured edges, these screens won’t pop in or out of their frame, even when you open and close the door to let the dog back in for the hundredth time.

Create the perfect patio space fit just for you and your family. With professional installation and complete customization, you’ll be enjoying the fresh air in no time.

Here’s why exterior-mounted shades reign supreme:

• Superior Heat Blocking: Mounted outside your windows, exterior shades act as a first line of defense, preventing sunlight from even entering your home. This significantly reduces the heat gain inside, keeping your space cooler for longer.
• Improved Energy Efficiency: Less reliance on air conditioning reduces energy bills. Exterior shades can save you hundreds of dollars yearly on your cooling costs.
• Reduced Glare: Sunlight streaming through windows can create annoying glare on screens and furniture. Exterior shades effectively block glare, making your home more comfortable for watching TV, reading, or relaxing.
• Enhanced Privacy: Depending on the shade material, exterior options offer greater privacy than blinds, especially on lower floors. Enjoy the view without feeling like you’re on display.
• Durable and Weatherproof: Exterior shades are designed to withstand the elements, unlike traditional blinds that can fade or warp in direct sunlight.

Beyond the benefits, exterior shades offer a clean and modern aesthetic, adding a touch of sophistication to your home’s exterior. Check out the screens in action and how they significantly lower indoor temperatures. With various styles and materials, such as awnings, roll-down shades, and fabric screens, allowing you to find the perfect fit for your needs and style.

While traditional blinds still have their place, consider switching to exterior-mounted shades for ultimate summer comfort and energy savings. Your wallet and your air conditioner will thank you!
