Home size increased during and after COVID as more people worked from home and needed the space. Since then, as interest rates have increased (and we’re not stuck at home all the time), downsizing has become the trend. In 2023, the median size of a single-family home was 2,191 square feet – the lowest since 2010.
Maximizing your square footage is essential for maximizing home value and enhancing entertainment and living space functionality. Adding Alafaya retractable screens to your patio area is the perfect solution to use every square foot of your home.
Our Alafaya retractable screens are not a “one size fits all” product. When you partner with Phantom Screens of Central Florida, we create custom screens to blend perfectly with your home’s style. Our screens come in many options to suit your needs.
Our wide range of color choices allows your screens to seamlessly blend in or stand out while keeping the elements at bay. Wood grain finishes can also lend your screens a unique and stylish appearance.
Cozy patio living spaces are trending as more homeowners seek to create inviting outdoor retreats that blend comfort and style with the beauty of nature. The Southern Living Idea House 2023 features Phantom Screens for a fully furnished and elegant patio area.
Guests can enjoy the comfort of the outdoors without worrying about harmful UV rays and the annoyance of all our Florida bugs. Your patio will be the entertainment destination for friends and family from July 4th to New Year’s Eve.
Think New Year’s Eve might be too chilly for an outdoor soiree? If you have Alafaya retractable screens made of vinyl, you can install patio heaters and have complete control of your outdoor climate.
In the warmer months, patio air conditioning units can keep your outdoor space as cool as the interior of your home. Even without extra heaters and AC units, motorized retractable patio screens will keep your home cooler in the summer. Our mesh and vinyl screens block 40-100% of UV rays, and a cooler patio means a lower energy bill.
Phantom offers an extensive selection of mesh options to enhance the comfort and aesthetics of any living space. Choose from various mesh types designed to provide insect protection, natural ventilation, increased privacy, improved daylight, and solar heat control.
The openness factor of the mesh determines the amount of heat, light, and air that enters a room. A more open fabric allows for better airflow and heat transmission, while tighter meshes block sunlight and maintain cooler temperatures indoors.
Our mesh screens offer a discreet and effective way to enhance privacy in your outdoor living area. Whether enjoying a quiet morning coffee or hosting a lively gathering, these screens provide a sense of seclusion without compromising airflow or natural light.
With various opacity levels to choose from, you can tailor the level of privacy to suit your preferences, ensuring that your outdoor space remains a serene and intimate retreat for you and your guests.

With customizable options to suit your needs, including protection from insects, enhanced privacy, and climate control, our screens offer a solution to expand your living space.
