Don’t believe us?
Let’s get into it! Here are 5 fantastic reasons to choose Phantom Screens for your Scottish home.
Reason #1: Enjoy Fresh Air Without the Bugs
Scotland is a stunning place to live. From frosty lochs and glens in the winter months to rolling hills lit by the brilliant summer sun, Scotland displays breathtaking beauty all year round. However, opening doors and windows when the sun is shining can bring midges and other pesky insects inside, making it difficult to keep comfy.
Enter Phantom Screens. Made from fibreglass and polyester mesh, these retractable coverings stretch across your windows and doors to provide an effective barrier against pests – without compromising on fresh air and sunlight. They offer an elegant alternative to traditional fixed screens or doors and are perfectly suited to patio doors, bi-fold doors and large windows.
Phantom Screens are the best insect screens for homes that want to make full use of the warm weather without suffering from midge invasions!
Reason #2: Sleek, Retractable Design
Unlike fixed screens, which tend to be hinged, Phantom Screens pull across and secure using a magnetic latch on the opposite side of the opening. When you no longer need them, they slide back into their casing and remain hidden from view. This award-winning design means that Phantom Screens blend seamlessly into all home interiors, offering homeowners a discreet and stylish solution to home shading, privacy and bug control.
Trying to dress an oversized window, set of French doors or large veranda? No worries! Phantom Screens can be created in custom sizes for a variety of different doors and windows, meaning no Scottish home needs to miss out.
Reason #3: Protection From Glare & UV Rays
Is an irritating glare getting in the way of your favourite TV show? Or maybe you’re squinting through your Zoom meetings at a particular time of day. Whatever the reason, Phantom Screens can solve your glare problems.
Phantom Screens are retractable coverings for your windows and doors that help to reduce glare in sunlit rooms, making interiors more comfortable. Not only does this clever innovation help prevent light reflection on your screens – it can also provide protection against sun-fading and damage. The award-winning UV-resistant mesh blocks the sun’s rays from entering your most sunlit spaces, protecting your furniture and flooring from colour loss over time.
The best bit? Phantom Screens are available in a range of different mesh options, giving you the ability to balance privacy, airflow and light control and achieve the home of your dreams.
Reason #4: Energy Efficiency & Temperature Control
Integrating Phantom Screens into your home set-up can have a significant impact on energy efficiency.
By keeping bugs and too-bright sunlight at bay, these retractable coverings oallow fresh air to flow freely during the hotter months, enhancing natural ventilation and reducing your reliance on air conditioning and fans. This can help to bring your energy bills down.
Fast-forward to the winter time, and Phantom Screens act as an additional barrier to the cold, preventing heat loss through windows and doors and insulating your home. This can help to lower your monthly outgoings and maintain a more stable indoor temperature throughout the year.
Reason #5: Durable & Low Maintenance
Scotland’s weather system is ever-changing. From heavy rain and strong gales to brilliant sunshine and high temperatures, shading solutions must be up to the challenge to avoid costly repairs and replacements.
Built with high-quality materials and designed to withstand a range of weather conditions, Phantom Screens are one of the top home ventilation systems for Scottish homes. Unlike traditional door and window screens, Phantom Screens can retract fully when not in use, reducing exposure to dirt and debris. Cleaning the screens is simple, requiring a wipe down or occasional rinse to keep them looking brand new.
Professional installation is a must to ensure a precise fit, remove the risk of gaps and ensure they open and close effectively and reliably.
