Window Screens - Mesh Options
Phantom offers a versatile selection of mesh options designed to enhance comfort and style in any space. Choose from mesh types that deliver insect protection, natural ventilation, enhanced privacy, better daylight, and effective solar heat control.
The mesh’s openness factor plays a key role in regulating heat, light, and airflow. More open fabrics allow breezes and warmth to pass through, while tighter weaves block sunlight and keep your space cooler.
Based on your specific needs, Phantom Screens of Ventura County and Santa Barbara will recommend the ideal mesh choice for your retractable door screens.
Please note that these mesh samples are provided as a general guide. For true accuracy, review actual mesh samples before making your selection.
