Nothing ruins a perfect summer evening faster than a swarm of mosquitoes or flies crashing your patio party. But don’t let bugs boss you around! With Phantom Screens, Ottawa homeowners can enjoy the fresh air, peaceful backyard views, and seamless indoor-outdoor living—minus the buzzing and biting. Whether you’re sipping coffee on your porch or hosting a backyard BBQ, retractable screens offer a discreet, stylish, and effective solution for keeping the bugs out and the comfort in.

What are Phantom Screens?

Phantom Screens are premium, retractable screen solutions designed to blend seamlessly into your home’s architecture. They’re not your average screen doors—they roll out when you need them and disappear when you don’t. These screens can be installed on doors, windows, patios, and large openings to provide bug-free airflow while maintaining your view and aesthetic.

How Do Phantom Screens Work?

Phantom Screens operate on a smooth track system that allows the screen to retract into a discreet housing when not in use. Depending on the model, they can be opened manually or motorized for added convenience. With customizable mesh options and frame colours, they’re designed to complement both modern and traditional homes.

Benefits of Phantom Screens

• Bug Protection – Let’s face it—Ottawa summers are short, and no one wants to spend them swatting mosquitoes. Phantom Screens keep out bugs of all sizes while letting fresh air in, giving you more usable time on your porch or patio.
• Enhanced Views – Unlike traditional screens that can block or blur your view, Phantom Screens use high-quality mesh that maintains visibility, airflow, and natural light. You’ll barely notice it’s there—until you notice that there are no flies trying to join your dinner.
• Versatility – These retractable screens are perfect for everything from front doors to French doors, patios, porches, and even large openings like folding glass walls. Whether your home is new or historic, Phantom Screens can be tailored to fit just about anything.

Types of Phantom Screens

• Retractable Screen Doors – Ideal for single, double, sliding, or French doors, these screens provide ventilation while keeping your entryway elegant and unobstructed. They’re especially popular for garden and back doors where airflow is welcome but bugs are not.
• Retractable Window Screens – Tired of choosing between a breeze and a bug-free zone? Phantom’s window screens are practically invisible when not in use and are great for casement, awning, or double-hung windows.
• Large Opening Screens – Perfect for patios, verandas, or covered decks, these motorized screens cover wide spaces and retract at the touch of a button. Now you can transform your outdoor living area into a private bug-free oasis, instantly.
