From traditional panel doors to bifold doors, there are plenty of options available to suit your preferences.

Panel Doors

Panel doors add a touch of elegance and sophistication to any room. This style of door features panels framed within a larger frame typically made of wood. The number of panels can vary, but it's common to find four or six. These doors offer a subtle yet stylish approach to interior design fitting in effortlessly with a wide range of decor styles. One of the many advantages of panel doors is that they can be customized to suit any homeowner's tastes. Whether you prefer a traditional or modern look, panel doors can be stained or painted in any color or finish. Additionally, their durability ensures they will remain stylish for many years to come. When it comes to door options, panel doors are a classic choice that will never go out of style in South Florida.

 
 

Flush Doors

 
 

Flush doors are a sleek and modern addition to any home or office space. These doors are designed to blend seamlessly into the surrounding wall, creating a clean and polished look. Unlike traditional panel doors, flush doors have a completely flat surface with no raised or recessed details. This makes them incredibly easy to clean, and also gives them a minimalist aesthetic that many homeowners find appealing. They're available in a variety of finishes and can be customized to fit any size or shape of doorway, making them a versatile option for any space.

French Doors

Whether in Palm Beach, Broward or Miami, French doors have long been a beloved addition to homes and spaces that call for elegance and sophistication. These double doors, with their wide glass panes and intricate frames, add a touch of classic charm and lightness to any room or passageway. They're versatile enough to use as both interior and exterior doors, making them a functional yet stylish addition to any home. With a variety of finishes, colors, and hardware options available, French doors can be customized to perfectly complement the overall design aesthetic of your space. Whether you're renovating your home or simply looking to add a touch of glamour, French doors are an excellent choice to consider.

Glass Panel Doors

 
 

Glass panel doors are a stunning addition to any home, specially in Florida. These doors are not only functional, but also serve as a beautiful design element. The glass panels allow natural light to flood into a room, creating a bright and airy space. Additionally, these doors can make a smaller room feel larger by allowing the eye to travel beyond the confines of the space. Glass panel doors come in a variety of styles, from minimalist to ornate, and can be customized to fit any decor.

Sliding Doors

Sliding doors have become a popular feature in modern home designs in Palm Beach due to their sleek and minimalist appearance. Their functionality also adds to their appeal, as they can be used to seamlessly connect indoor and outdoor spaces. Sliding doors come in a variety of materials, from classic glass to elegant wood, allowing homeowners to customize them to match their personal style. In addition to their aesthetic benefits, sliding doors also provide energy efficiency and noise reduction, giving homeowners peace of mind.

Bi-fold Doors

Bi-fold doors are a fantastic addition to any home. Not only do they look modern and sleek, but they're also incredibly functional. Bi-fold doors are designed to fold inwards, creating a wide entryway between rooms or to the outdoors. This not only allows for more efficient use of space, but it also allows for greater natural light to enter your home. Whether you want to open up your living room to the garden or connect your kitchen to the dining room, bi-fold doors can help create a seamless flow throughout your home. Plus, with a range of materials and finishes to choose from, it's easy to find a bi-fold door that matches the style and design of your home.

In conclusion

whether you're seeking to fill your home with natural light, create a sense of space and openness, or simply add a modern, stylish touch to your property, there's a door design to meet your needs. From the luminous allure of glass panel doors to the minimalist charm of sliding doors, and the functional elegance of bi-fold doors, the options are diverse and customizable. Remember, the right door not only enhances the aesthetic appeal of your home but can also uplift your living experience by seamlessly connecting different spaces. Explore these options, consider your personal style and functional needs, and transform your South Florida home into a sophisticated and welcoming haven.

However, please note this does not include the mesh and fabric components of the screen (that’s the “limited” aspect of “limited lifetime warranty”).

Maintenance

Phantom Screens need minimal maintenance. As the screens are retracted when not in use during our hot and wet Florida summer months, they are safely stored in their housing. We recommend cleaning the screens with mild detergent and water, and gently wipe them off. And, if professional maintenance is required, our Lifetime Warranty means customer support is just a quick phone call away.
