Phantom Motorized Screens for Outdoor Spaces: FAQ
What is a Motorized Retractable Screen?
A motorized retractable screen is a screen system designed to cover large openings like patios, lanais, or oversized doors, providing protection from insects, sunlight, and added privacy. Unlike fixed screens, it rolls up into a discreet housing when not in use and is operated with a remote control or smart home integration. This allows you to enjoy open-air living when you want it and screened comfort when you need it, all at the push of a button
How Long Do Motorized Screens Last?
Motorized retractable screens are built to last, especially when properly installed and maintained. Phantom Screens, for example, are engineered with high-quality materials like aluminum housings and durable mesh fabrics that can withstand years of use. While actual lifespan can vary depending on climate and usage, many homeowners enjoy their screens for decades. Phantom Screens backs their products with a limited lifetime warranty, offering added peace of mind and confidence in long-term performance.
How Much are Motorized Screens?
The cost of motorized retractable screens can vary widely depending on the size and a few other different factors. For example, the type of mesh you choose, whether it is for insect protection, solar shading, privacy, or weather resistance, has a significant impact on the price. Custom colors and finishes, along with smart home features like Somfy TaHoma integration, can also affect the overall investment. Since every screen is custom-built to fit your space, the best way to get an accurate price is to schedule a consultation with a professional.
How Big Can Motorized Retractable Screens Be?
Phantom Motorized Screens for patios can cover up to 40ft wide with a single motorized screen. The largest in industry!
What Customization Options Do You Offer?
In addition to several mesh options, Phantom Motorized Screens are available in 10 signature colors and 15 wood grain finishes. For a more tailored look, custom color matching is also available to perfectly complement your home’s design.
What are Motorized Screens Made of?
Phantom Screens uses Phifer meshes, which are made from a combination of fiberglass and marine-grade PVC vinyl. The vinyl acts as a protective coating, reinforcing the fiberglass for added durability and long-lasting performance. The frame and housing of each retractable screen are made from extruded aluminum to ensure strength and resistance to corrosion.
