Phantom Screens for Garage Doors: Why Your Garage Needs a Retractable Screen
Are you the type of person who enjoys spending time in your garage? Perhaps you’ve converted your garage into a home gym, or you use your garage to work on personal projects. If so, Phantom Screens for garage doors are the perfect way to keep bugs and other pesky insects out of your way while letting the breeze in to keep you cool. In this blog post, we’ll go over some of the reasons you should consider incorporating a motorized retractable screen to your South Florida home’s garage.
Fresh Air In, Pests and Debris Out
If you’ve worked in your garage during the notorious summer months in Florida, chances are you have felt the intense heat in your home’s garage particularly. This is due to the lack of ventilation circulating the air throughout your garage like the other rooms in your house do with the assistance of windows and air conditioning. While the solution to this problem seems simple — opening your garage door — doing so often sacrifices the comfort of working in a closed and private space while exposing you to sun and all manners of flora and fauna. How often have you found local critters and creepy-crawlies wandering in while you’ve been working in your garage? Or had to rake out the leaves blown in by the wind?

Fortunately, there’s a way to open your garage while protecting yourself from the elements: With a motorized retractable screen over your garage’s opening, you can enjoy the natural lighting and breeze while ensuring that your work is uncompromised by pests and debris that you’d typically have to worry about. And if you’re worried about intense sunlight in the morning or afternoon- we’ve got you covered. Our solar mesh options can mitigate solar glare by up to 75% and potentially harmful UV rays by up to 90%, allowing you to enjoy your garage at the climate you desire.
Value-Adding Garage Protection
If you are concerned about preserving the style of your home, it makes sense that you’d worry whether a motorized retractable screen may compromise the design or “look” of your home from the outside. In the past, you might have seen old sliding garage door screens that fold across and stick out like a sore thumb, or Velcro-based garage screens that loosely hang off the top of the garage opening, but these types of screens are outdated.
Modern garage door screens can actually contribute to the aesthetic value of your home by adding a subtle flair to what would otherwise be a normal garage; many garage screens can be customized to the homeowner’s personal taste. Phantom’s non-obtrusive and discreet motorized screen design allows the screen to stand out when needed and completely disappear out of view when it is not.
Keep your garage private and cool with a Phantom motorized retractable screen!
Our motorized screens for exterior openings come in both 10 signature colors and 15 distinct wood grain finishes, meaning that no matter your home’s aesthetic, the screen can match it. Each screen is custom-fit for every individual opening, which means you don’t have to worry about the frame of the screen seeming out of place.
Seclusion Without Isolation
Enjoy working or relaxing in your garage, but not a fan of curious neighbors sneaking a peek at you while you’re in there? Not to worry, screens can also be fitted with an opaque vinyl mesh, designed to fully enclose your space. These types of mesh are designed to provide added privacy and convenient temperature control as they keep your cool A/C inside and keep the hot air out.
Whatever way you use your space, we’ll find the perfect solution for your screening needs.
