The InSync Home was produced by Builder and HOME magazines and built in Baldwin Park, Florida as the official show home of 2007 International Builders’ Show. One of the main emphases of InSync Home was to blend indoor and outdoor living. A key area of the home that brings this together is the lanai that opens to the inner courtyard and pool. It was necessary to find a way to merge the two spaces in order to allow the family to enjoy the outdoors without having to suffer from heat or insects. The Executive Screens are integrated into the design of the lanai, retracting into the arches when not in use. The Phantom installation team worked closely with the client to ensure that the screens would blend seamlessly with the overall décor of the home. The InSync design team selected 18/14 insect mesh in charcoal with a sun control factor of 40% and openness of 58%. By using a recessed implementation, the three screens are completely out-of-sight when not needed, uniting the indoor and outdoor spaces in a unique and creative way.

Built in 1950 as an exact replica of a 1780s Sea Captain’s home, this New England heritage style house is a unique blend of modern conveniences and 18th century ambiance. The homeowners needed a screen solution for their porch that would provide insect protection, allow them to preserve the clear view of their yard, and not take away from the traditional features or elegance of the porch. The porch’s classic style and authentic materials dictated that the chosen screens must retract completely out of sight when not in use. The homeowners selected Executive Screens for their ease of use and worry-free maintenance. When not in use, the screens are completely retracted and when needed, lowered at the touch of a button on a remote control or a control pad located near the door. When winter arrives, the screens are safely stored in their housings until they are needed the following spring.

Located at Tarns of the Moor, Bannockburn, Illinois, the Scottish Manor is a concept home by Orren Pickell Designers & Builders (OPDB). The builders needed to find screen solutions for several sets of doors throughout the house that would provide insect protection while blending with the unique design of the home. It was important for OPDB’s design team to specify a solution that would be suitable for several double-French doors throughout the building. The luxurious interior style and finishes dictated the selection of screens that would retract out of sight and not stand out on the door frames. All installed screens were specified in custom colors to blend into the window clad color in order to avoid distracting from the overall aesthetics and old world theme of the home.

This traditional Georgian style home, located in Winter Park, FL, was custom designed by Phil Kean Designs with an open floor plan that connects to the lanai via pocketing glass windows and doors to maximize indoor/outdoor living and entertainment areas of the home. The lanai opens to the kitchen, great room, and master suite, creating a spacious living area that is used throughout the year. In order to be able to spend time on the lanai during hot Florida summers, the homeowners needed their design team to find a solution that would protect them from heat and insects while maintaining the view to the outside. Phantom Screens Executive motorized retractable screens were specified as a versatile and cost-effective choice for creating a more comfortable living environment without sacrificing the views to outside. The selected mesh fabric blocks 90% of the UV rays, thereby maintaining a cooler temperature within the lanai when the screens are lowered.
