4 Reasons why Phantom Screens make your pets lives better

Published on April 30, 2025

Phantom Screens is like a superhero for your home, keeping pesky bugs at bay while creating a safe haven for your pets. Cleverly designed screens let the fresh breeze in, but not the unwanted critters, ensuring homeowners’ space is a bug-free and critter-free paradise while letting their pets enjoy the scenery.

Here are four reasons Phantoms Screens make your pet’s lives better:

1. The Purrfect Catio

Homeowners can expand their living space to the outdoors with Phantom Screens’ retractable door screens and retractable patio screens without having to do a large renovation on their homes.

Open the doors to let the air and light in while their pets are safe indoors, or lower the patio screens and create a new space ready for relaxation and rejuvenation. This purrfect cozy spot is where the whole family will enjoy, including the cats, making it the ultimate catio, which retired hockey player Mike Weaver did for his home!

2. Climate Comforts

Let the light and fresh air in for passive cooling, or lower the screens on your covered patio space to help keep the climate just right. A patio space expands your home’s footprint and helps happy homeowners elongate the seasons to enjoy more agreeable temperatures. Add a screen door, open some windows, and let the airflow through your home for passive cooling, fresh air to enjoy scents and sounds, and the perfect sunny spot for catching rays.

3. Feline-friendly fresh air

Homeowners can create a space that helps their pets enjoy the fresh air and the sights and sounds of the neighborhood. The ultimate pet-friendly space is made with just a press of a button or the slide of a door. Make your home pet and human-friendly without compromising your home’s design.

4. Keeping pests out and pets in

Our captured edge option for retractable door screens provides ultimate protection. This solution helps prevent small pets from escaping, unwanted pests from entering, and mesh blowing out from the track. This captured edge option completely secures the mesh in the top and bottom tracks and will help give homeowners peace of mind without any extra bulk or distractibility from your home’s design.

These four ways together have created the perfect oasis for homeowners and their families while being assured their pets are safe. Whether they are entertaining, relaxing at home, or wanting fresh air for their home, they are confident that their screens are there to help make their lives just a little bit better.

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.
