Why Product Certification Matters When Choosing a Motorized Screen.
Not all motorized retractable screens are created equal, and knowing which ones are built with safety and quality in mind makes all the difference. There are dozens of screen manufacturers across the country and even more internationally. But while there may be plenty of choices, not every screen is built with the same level of care or reliability. So how do you know if a screen is truly built to last? The answer lies in certification.
What is Product Certification and Why Does it Matter?
Product certification is a formal process that verifies a product meets specific safety and performance standards. Certified products go through extensive testing to ensure they are designed properly, constructed with quality materials, and safe to use. In the world of construction, inspectors often require that products meet these standards before they can be installed.
Motorized screens are no exception. While uncertified products may still be available on the market, they are not allowed in most professional construction projects. If you are investing in a screen for your home, choosing a certified product ensures you are getting the same quality builders trust.
Keep your home protected — get retractable screens you can trust with the certifications to prove it.
Phantom Screens and Their Commitment to Certification
Phantom Screens is one of the only manufacturers whose motorized retractable screens are certified for use in both the United States and Canada. This includes:
UL 325 certification in the United States, granted by Underwriters Laboratories
CSA C22.2 Number 247-14 certification in Canada, granted by the Canadian Standards Association
Both certifications are specific to motorized products such as draperies, gates, and louvers. They focus on preventing fire and electrical hazards, ensuring safe operation for the general public, and upholding high standards of design and construction.
To receive these certifications, Phantom Screens underwent a series of thorough tests and inspections that assessed every aspect of their screen systems. The result is a product that meets rigorous safety criteria and is trusted by industry professionals.
The Intertek ETL Listed Mark
In addition to UL and CSA certifications, Phantom Screens also holds the Intertek ETL Listed Mark, one of the most respected safety marks in the industry. This mark confirms that the final, fully assembled screen product meets all applicable safety regulations in both the United States and Canada.
The ETL mark includes a US and C indicator, showing compliance with both national standards. While UL and CSA certifications apply to individual components, the ETL Listed mark verifies the safety and performance of the complete product. That means you can trust that every part of your Phantom motorized screen, from the frame to the motor , has been built to the highest standards.
Intertek, which has been a global leader in quality assurance for over 130 years, is known for its rigorous testing processes. Their expertise and reputation add another layer of credibility to Phantom’s certification claims.
