Motorized Screens with Cable Guide

For projects with open corners, decorative columns, or exterior-mounted solar shades, we install screens using a self-tensioning cable guide system, eliminating the need for posts or tracks.

No post, no problem

Looking to keep out the sun or nosy neighbors? Our cable guide system will help support you with whatever you need even when you have no posts.

The self-tensioning technology helps keep the cables taut so you can add them to any project without side supports. Mount to the wall or floor to unleash unlimited possibilities.

Mesh Options

Phantom’s wide range of mesh options help you make any space a more comfortable and attractive living environment. You can choose from mesh types that provide insect protection, natural ventilation, increased privacy, improved daylight, and solar heat control.

The mesh openness factor determines the amount of heat, light, and air that enters a room. A more open fabric allows the breeze and heat to enter the living space, while tighter meshes block more sunlight and keep the space cooler.

Depending on your screening needs, Glamour Decorating will recommend the best mesh choice for your retractable door screens.

These mesh samples are to be used only as a general guide. Please review actual mesh samples for true accuracy.

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.
