Now you’ve probably never heard of Ogopogo. But if you have, chances are you’ll know that it’s a legendary creature – much like the Loch Ness Monster – that lives in Okanagan Lake in the interior of British Columbia, Canada. We don’t know if it has even been spotted from this gorgeous lakeside home, but the homeowners would have the perfect lookout point from their covered patio!

The large back porch has great views over the lake but gets incredibly hot in the summer – so our motorized screens provide shade from the sun (and protection from insects), keeping the porch cooler and even more livable.

Summer living

Well known for hot summers, the residents of the Okanagan area enjoy warm weather from early spring until late fall. The folks who live in this lovely house wanted to get shade from the sun and protection from insects, but keep their views to the lake and the gardens.

“Phantom’s motorized retractable screens help to create a space that brings the outdoors inside and the indoors out,” says Levon Symonds, Authorized Distributor of Phantom Screens in the Okanagan region of British Columbia, Canada. “A lot of homeowners have the outdoor spaces, but do not use them to their full potential. In this case, we provided a solution that allows the homeowners to really make the best of both worlds and open their home to the outside in a completely new way.”

Great entertaining

The generous square footage of the back porch gives the homeowners separate cooking, dining and sitting areas for both entertaining and relaxing. Our retractable screens let them spend time on their porch even when temperatures outside soar – creating a cool haven that is still part of the outdoors.

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.
