Natural Ventilation

Our exceptional Bay Area climate is just one of many things that make this a spectacular place to call home. For most of the year, warm days and cool evenings reduce our need for heating to a few months, and air conditioning to a few days. The intelligent use of shades and screens to prevent heat gain during the day and allow natural ventilation to cool us in the evening saves on our energy bill, and allows us to do our part to reduce our impact on the environment.

Open the Door to Comfort
Curb appeal is an important consideration. A standard screen door masking a graceful front door detracts from a home’s aesthetic quality. Phantom Screens’ line of door screens wait for use, discreetly rolled up in their cleverly designed, low-profile housing until it’s time to open the door, enjoy the fresh air and allow for important cross-ventilation. They are available in nine standard colors and hundreds of custom colors and finishes to blend with any exterior, preserving your curb appeal, but available “on-demand” when you’re ready to enjoy our wonderful weather.

Single doors, double French doors, sliding doors, in-swing or outward opening doors—Phantom screens can fit nearly every door size and configuration. The elegant charm of French doors is lost with conventional screening. But because every Phantom screen is custom fit for each door, nothing detracts from a home’s design. The screen is there when it’s needed and practically disappears when it’s not.

Bringing the Outdoors In
The use of large openings, permitted by the development of large lift-and-slide, and bi-folding door systems allow us to bring the outdoors in, merging our living spaces. There are a number of options, both manual and motorized for screening oversize openings. The remotely controlled, motorized Executive drops down from the top to provide protection from insects for the opening, and, as if by magic, can instantly create a screened
in patio on demand. With the use of solar fabrics, these outdoor rooms can then be climate controlled, or used to provide protection from sun damage and heat gain. There is almost no space for which Phantom Screens can’t provide a screening option. Available in sizes up to 25' wide by 16' tall, at the touch of a button, homeowners can enjoy their indoor or outdoor spaces with excellent ventilation and protection from insects.

In addition to Phantom Screens’ line of retractable door screens, and oversize solutions, they offer retractable window screens. The Serene line provides sun protection and pest screening for casement, sliding and single- and double-hung windows.
