Ordinary Screens VS Retractable Screens

Ordinary screens were allegedly invented in the 1800s to provide protection from bugs while allowing fresh air to circulate inside your home. Over time, ordinary screen doors became a very important part of homes around the world.

Although efficient, ordinary fixed screen doors have several disadvantages over retractable screens. First and foremost, fixed screens don't retract, so say goodbye to the nice design of your door. In addition, their design is unflattering and undermines the overall beauty of your home and obstructs your million dollar view. Not to mention these ordinary screen doors can be quite finicky — especially if they’re placed in an awkward position at the front or back of your home, they can cause some annoyances in entering and leaving your residence. A few seconds of aggravation, sure, but these seconds add up to be quite a lot over time.

Ordinary not retractable screen in its natural habitat

Luckily in 1992, a unique brand of Retractable Screens for doors was introduced to the North American market and it changed everything. As consumers realized that Retractable screens for doors offer all the benefits of ordinary screens, in addition to retract out of sight into their discreet housing, they were rapidly adopted. Over time, Phantom Screens became the industry leader and the gold-standard in Retractable Screens.

Being able to retract your screen doors gives you control over your view while enjoying fresh air from the outdoors and protection from UV rays, bugs, and debris. Also, retractable screens tend to last longer than ordinary screens, as (by their nature) they are shielded from the elements while they are retracted and housed in their aluminum casing. Furthermore, retractable screen doors are available in a variety of colors and finishes, so you can blend them with your existing decor. They are also available for virtually all types of doors, including single, sliding, and double doors, whether in-swing or out-swing. The best part? Enjoy unlimited peace of mind with the industry-leading limited lifetime warranty.
