Why Retractable Screens Are the Optimal Screen Solution
Innovative, luxurious, long-lasting, and practical. What more could you ask for in a window or door screen? The average American household installs standard screens to their household. The standard screen is visible when in use or not. Traditional flat screens obstruct views. The innovation of a more practical screen option has changed the game.
What is a Retractable Screen?
Retractable screens are a rolled-up screen that is concealed and protected by its own housing container that fits into or around a window or door. The housing blends seamlessly with the house or door without obstructing your view. The screen is hidden from view until you retract the screen from its housing. When the window or door is opened, the screen unrolls from above. As you close the window or door, the screen rolls up into the housing for the next use. Retractable screens are becoming popular in residential and commercial buildings. They are also referred to as Phantom Retractable Screens. Read more about Phantom Retractable Screens here.
