Media Contact:Sierra GordonPhantom Screens Marketing & Communications Specialist604-855-3654 (309)[email protected]


Abbotsford, BC (February 2016) - Phantom Screens has completed its first Idea House project and home restoration in Mobile, Alabama. C. Esther De Wolde, CEO, Phantom Screens has restored the Morgan-Ford House in the Oakleigh Garden district to showcase her company’s entire product range. Esther – who’s Canadian and lives just outside Vancouver, British Columbia purchased the 1906 Arts & Craft home in 2014 – and has had it painstakingly restored. Not only does the beautiful home combine history with elegance it has also been expanded with a large screened-in back porch and outdoor kitchen that integrates Phantom’s motorized retractable screens. In fact the back porch has proved to be one of the most head-turning features of the home with its combination motorized retractable insect screens and motorized clear vinyl screens. The porch can now be used all year round, temperature controlled, or left completely open on warm Alabama spring and fall days. It’s the kind of porch that homeowners across the US will love! The home and gardens are now fully restored. Each room was photographed before and during restoration, so you can see how it’s been preserved and how contemporary technology has been incorporated. All through the restoration, she’s told the story of the home and its owners in a series of web TV episodes, a blog and through social media (find everything you need to know at www.experiencephantom.com). Esther says: “Restoring a Southern home has been on my bucket list for more years than I care to remember and so I’m so happy (and a little bit nervous) that the day is finally here when I get to reveal it to everyone. I’m especially excited to display all of our products in one place! I know my other home is 4,345 miles away in Canada, but I’ve fallen in love with the city of Mobile, the Oakleigh Garden District and best of all its people. This little corner of Alabama will forever have a special place in my heart.”

Phantom Screens introduces motorized screens with clear vinyl for temperature control



Abbotsford, BC (June 1, 2016) - Phantom Screens, the leading manufacturer of retractable screens in North America, is excited to launch Phantom motorized screens with clear vinyl, further extending our customers experience to include scenic views and temperature controlled environments.

Homeowners can now spend more time outdoors without limiting themselves to only two seasons, thanks to our motorized screens with clear vinyl panels. They are the perfect option to protect your patio from the elements such as rain, snow and wind. In addition, when the screens are extended they can retain the cool air circulating from the home during hot summer days, or warmth from space heaters on the porch or patio during cool fall evenings. The clear vinyl option is great for both residential and commercial projects. For maximum flexibility both mesh and clear vinyl sheets can be combined in a dual roller system.

“What I love about using clear vinyl with our screens is how much it transforms your home and how you live.” said C. Esther De Wolde, CEO of Phantom Screens. “On a covered porch, for example, vinyl screens make the difference between using it a few days a year – to using it all year round. You create an extra room in your house that feels like being outside – even though you have all the comforts of being inside!”

Clear vinyl is now available on motorized screens through Phantom’s authorized distribution network and comes in 4 distinct perimeter colors including black, sand, white and brown.

More info on this new screen solution will be posted on Phantom Screens website at www.phantomscreens.com


PRODUCTS


PHANTOM RETRACTABLE SCREENS Phantom’s retractable screens are perfect for doors, windows, and large openings such as patios, porches, and large lift & slide door systems. Suitable for both commercial and residential projects, the screens pull into place when required and retract out of sight when not in use. With a wide selection of mesh types and colors, Phantom’s screens provide full ventilation, shading from the sun, protection from insects and UV rays, and enhanced privacy.

PRODUCTSRetractable Door ScreensPhantom retractable door screens are simple to operate, durable, and blend with any architectural style. Perfect for both new and existing homes, our custom design door screens offer the best of both worlds - uninterrupted views and natural ventilation combined with protection from insects and harsh glare of the sun.

One of the great things about choosing a Phantom door screen is that you have a couple of options when it comes to closure:


MAGNET CLOSURE Cover all door types including patio sliders, in-swing, out-swing and double-French doors. It is the original retractable door screen by Phantom Screens that uses a magnet latching system.

LATCHING HANDLE Suitable for all door types; it’s the only retractable door screen with an integrated Latch & Release handle. This unique feature makes it easy to use, quiet to operate and secure from unintended openings.


This private home, located in sunny California, boasts a spacious living area and a state-of-the-art kitchen that form the true hub of the home. A gathering place for the whole family, it is the most-used space where everyone gathers to visit, dine, and spend time together.

Phantom’s Legacy door screens retract into their housings on either side of the door and are only visible when in use, connecting the two areas and providing easy access to the backyard when needed.

PRODUCTSRetractable Window Screens

When you’ve selected high quality windows for your home, you want to ensure that their design remains unobstructed. Phantom’s window screens do just that. Unlike conventional fixed screens, they don’t obstruct your view, retracting out-of-sight when not needed.

There are two retractable window screen options from Phantom. Whatever your windows – or the look you want – there’s a screen that will be perfect for you:


FOR PVC OR ALUMINUM WINDOWSCover all window types including casement, awning, single and double-hung, sliding, and tilt’n’turn windows. Providing solar shading, enhanced privacy and protection from insects while maintaining views, Serene window screens.

FOR CUSTOM WOOD WINDOWS Designed for custom wood windows to blend with the window frame. Available in seven wood species, these window screens ensure a near perfect match to the window.


This historic Boston Colonial home, built in 1912, was on the verge of complete deterioration after decades of neglect. The current homeowners had to carefully follow Massachusetts Historical Society guidelines and rules throughout the renovation process.

As they had to preserve the original windows, they could not add any fixed screens. They therefore selected retractable Serene window screens as the best solution for several windows in their home. The screens are custom made and professionally installed to match the varying sizes and colors of the original windows in the home.

Designed by Canin Associates of Orlando, this home accommodates a multi-generational and blended Gen X family. Outdoor living and open concept layout were among the key elements incorporated into the design of this open concept home.

In order to maximize the time spent outdoors without having to worry about pesky insects or hot midday sun, recessed motorized retractable screens were installed at the rear of the house. The screens deliver solar shading and protection from insects, thereby allowing homeowners to make the most of the favorable Florida climate and enjoy outdoor living for much of the year.

The Generation X Concept Home

Dual roller application combines clear vinyl units with standard insect or solar mesh units for maximum comfort.
