Phantom Screens help reduce homes' heating and cooling costs with clean, seamless designs that disappear into the frames of windows, doors, and even outdoor living spaces.

Energy-saving solutions such as door and window screens are a feature that can easily make a home more eco-friendly, increase privacy and make the property more energy efficient. All which can be seen as substantial selling points for homeowners, potential buyers and investors.

Improved heating & cooling costs
According to the U.S. Department of Energy, 76% of the summer sunlight that shines into a house translates to heat inside the home. Phantom Screens is the optimal solution – when in combination with the right window pane materials – as it provides sun protection and a refreshing cross breeze. Even if opting for luxury screens, property owners will likely be able to offset the cost of the screens with the money saved on temperature control.

During the summertime, however, this has the potential to be more costly – more sunlight entering the home when the temperatures are high outside means more effort needed to keep temperatures low
inside. Thankfully, energy saving screens are designed with Solar Heat Gain Coefficient (SHGC) in mind, keeping excess solar heat from entering the home by blocking the sun from the start.

Where to install energy saving screens
When it comes to reducing energy consumption, installing energy saving screens in a home is all about placement and installing in the right rooms to have a high impact on reducing heat from the sun. Energy saving screens throughout the entire home can help cool the home with cross breezes and also reduce the temperature by reducing solar heat entering the home. Phantom Screens offers a variety of sizes in their retractable screen options, which can make a major impact on the temperature indoors, outdoors and even patio enclosures on your home. Extending both your living area and how you enjoy your home throughout the year.
