Fast Facts

Tony and Michelle are great lovers of the outdoors, and that means dealing with all the annoyances and challenges that the great outdoors brings. From harsh sun to the crisp, cooler months, these happy homeowners were seeking an outdoor space for their home that could be transformed into a tranquil retreat, combining the best of the outdoors with the comforts of indoors.

Region: Kokomo, Indiana, USA

Product Type: Phantom motorized screens

Fast Fact: Phantom motorized screens help block the heat and sun from making the inside and outside spaces unbearable in the summer.

The Need

The sun made their balcony too bright and too hot for Tony and Michelle to enjoy. They also enjoy spending time outdoors in the cooler months and wanted a solution that worked with their outdoor fireplace to create a cozy space.

The Solution

Phantom’s motorized retractable screens with cable guide help these homeowners enjoy their living space even when the harsh morning sun shines through their large windows while maintaining their view.

What makes this project special?

Tony and Michelle love spending time on their back patio, but with it comes harsh sun, cooler weather, and everything in between. They wanted a space that offered the beauty of the outside with the comfort of the indoors.

With motorized screens, they can now block the sun and heat while entertaining, and in cooler months, their outdoor fireplace and lowered screens help retain warmth—creating a cozy retreat perfect for relaxing, reconnecting, and unwinding.
