4 Reasons why Phantom Screens make your pets lives better

Published on January 20, 2025

Phantom Screens is like a superhero for your home, keeping pesky bugs at bay while creating a safe haven for your pets. Cleverly designed screens let the fresh breeze in, but not the unwanted critters, ensuring homeowners’ space is a bug-free and critter-free paradise while letting their pets enjoy the scenery.

Here are four reasons Phantoms Screens make your pet’s lives better:

1. The Purrfect Catio

Homeowners can expand their living space to the outdoors with Phantom Screens’ retractable door screens and retractable patio screens without having to do a large renovation on their homes.

Open the doors to let the air and light in while their pets are safe indoors, or lower the patio screens and create a new space ready for relaxation and rejuvenation. This purrfect cozy spot is where the whole family will enjoy, including the cats, making it the ultimate catio, which retired hockey player Mike Weaver did for his home!

2. Climate Comforts

Let the light and fresh air in for passive cooling, or lower the screens on your covered patio space to help keep the climate just right. A patio space expands your home’s footprint and helps happy homeowners elongate the seasons to enjoy more agreeable temperatures. Add a screen door, open some windows, and let the airflow through your home for passive cooling, fresh air to enjoy scents and sounds, and the perfect sunny spot for catching rays.

3. Feline-friendly fresh air

Homeowners can create a space that helps their pets enjoy the fresh air and the sights and sounds of the neighborhood. The ultimate pet-friendly space is made with just a press of a button or the slide of a door. Make your home pet and human-friendly without compromising your home’s design.

4. Keeping pests out and pets in

Our captured edge option for retractable door screens provides ultimate protection. This solution helps prevent small pets from escaping, unwanted pests from entering, and mesh blowing out from the track. This captured edge option completely secures the mesh in the top and bottom tracks and will help give homeowners peace of mind without any extra bulk or distractibility from your home’s design.

These four ways together have created the perfect oasis for homeowners and their families while being assured their pets are safe. Whether they are entertaining, relaxing at home, or wanting fresh air for their home, they are confident that their screens are there to help make their lives just a little bit better.
