All You Need to Know About Vinyl Screens
Phantom Motorized Screens with Clear Vinyl
If you're considering a screen solution for your outdoor space in South Florida, vinyl screens offer a unique set of features that set them apart from traditional mesh options. Unlike insect, solar, or privacy mesh, vinyl screens are made of solid, flexible panels that provide full enclosure, clear views, and complete protection from the elements.
What Makes Vinyl Screens Unique
Vinyl screens are built using solid, flexible vinyl panels. Depending on your needs, they can be either transparent or opaque. Phantom’s clear vinyl option maintains an unobstructed view of the outdoors while offering full enclosure. Because vinyl has no woven openings like mesh, it offers complete protection from bugs, wind, and extreme temperatures. This makes it an ideal choice when you want to enjoy outdoor views without any of the discomforts.
In essence, vinyl screens provide the strongest separation between indoor and outdoor environments. They are especially beneficial for year-round use, helping to retain warmth during cooler months and block out heat in the summer. Whether you are entertaining guests or enjoying a quiet afternoon on your patio, vinyl screens can help create a comfortable, enclosed setting
What’s in a Vinyl Screen
Vinyl screens are made from a type of plastic called PVC , short for polyvinyl chloride, one of the most widely used synthetic materials in the world. PVC is known for its strength, flexibility, and durability, which is why it’s found in everything from plumbing to marine upholstery.
Phantom’s vinyl screens are made from high-performance materials designed for long-term use. The opaque Précontraint 502 Satin Vinyl uses a PVC-coated polyester for added strength, while the clear PanoramaFR Vinyl is made from 100 percent PVC for maximum transparency. Both offer excellent insulation, but the reinforced fabric of the Précontraint version adds an extra layer of resilience.
It’s important to know what materials your screen manufacturer uses. At Phantom Screens, we use marine-grade PVC vinyl that is resistant to abrasion, UV rays, and moisture. It also contains antibacterial and antifungal properties, making it well-suited for Florida’s humid environment. These qualities ensure long-lasting performance and help protect your investment over time..
