Adding Phantom Screens to my Exterior Doors

Published on April 30, 2025

Your home isn’t just for living, it’s a reflection of your style and personality. With so many options and inspiration available, finding the right fit is something everyone can do. If you find yourself still searching for that perfect piece to complete the look, your answer may just be “light”. Adding French doors that extend out to your back garden or patio, not only adds light and fresh air but is a classic piece that never goes out of style.

Can French Doors Replace Sliding Doors?

Your doorway in and out to your patio, porch or deck might be an afterthought, but there are a ton of opinions on which door type is right for you. Whether you just moved in or are looking for a refresh the thought of replacing sliding doors with French doors might have crossed your mind. Taking in the factor of size and shape of your opening may very well be a great way to spice up a space. Just remember that French doors swing open, which means you could be taking up square footage in your living space.

Do Exterior French Doors Have Screens?

Never be concerned that a Phantom Screen won’t fit on your door. Even with French doors, we can easily fit a screen with your preferred mesh type. We’ll simply mount your screen on the right or left hand side of the opening so that the screens meet in the middle, just like your French doors. This is a great option to keep the style while letting in the fresh air.

Phantom Screens come in various color and mesh options to perfectly fit your style and needs. They’ll blend seamlessly into your home’s decor and aesthetic while being functional. The perfect solution to a bug-free space while conserving the looks.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between fixed and retractable screens?

Fixed screens are stationary, always in place to offer protection and ventilation, but their disadvantage is that they can obstruct views or generally get in the way. Retractable screens, on the other hand, slide away discreetly when not in use, which adds to your home’s design and boosts convenience.

Choosing Phantom retractable screens for your home on Long Island gives you flexibility. You can enjoy their protection and privacy when you need them, and easily move them away when you don’t. They are a superior choice for those valuing both functionality and style.

Are retractable screens a good idea?

Absolutely! Retractable screens offer an ingenious solution to common issues like insects, harsh sunlight, lack of proper airflow, and lack of privacy but with the added convenience of disappearing when not in use.

They adapt to your needs and easily enhance your living space without compromising on style. Phantom’s retractable screens are particularly durable and reliable, thanks to high-quality materials and expert installation. They seamlessly blend elegance, utility, and longevity.

What is a motorized screen?

Motorized screens enhance the convenience of retractable screens by automating the process. With a simple button push, they eliminate the need for manual handling, which makes them especially useful for oversized or out-of-reach screens. And even beyond that, they allow you to effortlessly manage light, privacy, and home protection. With Phantom’s motorized screens, Long Island homes can get that extra touch of sophistication and utility.

How long do motorized screens last?

Designed for longevity, Phantom’s high-quality motorized screens can last for many years, 20+ even, if you choose the right option for your home and if you make sure to maintain them properly. They are built to withstand the elements and daily use, and once they’re installed and given regular care, they remain a beautiful and functional addition to your home for a long time.
