Florida patios are made for outdoor living, but heat, glare, mosquitoes, and unpredictable weather can make it difficult to enjoy them year-round. Motorized retractable screens give you more control over your outdoor space without permanently enclosing it.
At the touch of a button, you can lower your screens when you want additional protection and retract them when you want an open-air experience.
Motorized screens can help:
When the screens are fully retracted, they stay neatly out of the way so you can enjoy your home’s views and natural surroundings.
Every patio is different, which is why motorized retractable screens are custom designed for each installation. Whether you have a covered patio, lanai, outdoor kitchen, pool enclosure, or another large opening, the system can be configured to fit your space.
Unlike permanent screening, retractable systems give you flexibility throughout the day. Lower the screens during peak sun or when insects become active, then retract them when you want more airflow and an unobstructed view.
The result is an outdoor space that can adapt to changing weather and the way you use your home.
The mesh you select can have a significant impact on how your screens perform. Different mesh types and weaves are designed to provide different combinations of insect protection, visibility, airflow, solar control, and privacy.
Depending on your priorities, options may include:
Insect mesh: Helps keep mosquitoes, flies, and other common pests outside while allowing air and natural light to pass through.
Solar mesh: Helps reduce glare and UV exposure while providing shade and maintaining outdoor visibility.
Privacy mesh: Provides additional visual privacy while still allowing you to enjoy your outdoor space.
A professional screen specialist can help you determine which mesh best fits your patio, lifestyle, and outdoor living goals.
One of the biggest advantages of electric patio screens is how easy they are to operate. Instead of manually moving large screens into position, you can control your system with convenient motorized controls.
Depending on the system, operation may include:
Smart technology can make your outdoor space even more convenient. Compatible systems can be integrated into a connected home environment, allowing you to control your screens alongside other smart-home features.
Some automated options can also respond to environmental conditions, helping protect your screens when weather conditions change.
Your patio doesn’t have to conform to a standard screen size. Motorized retractable screens are custom made to accommodate your home’s specific dimensions and design.
During your consultation, a Phantom-trained specialist can evaluate your space and help determine the best configuration. The process includes:
From smaller patio openings to expansive outdoor living areas, custom sizing helps ensure your screens look intentional and operate as designed.
Proper installation is essential for getting the most from your motorized retractable screens. A professionally installed system should fit the opening correctly, operate smoothly, and integrate naturally with your home’s design.

No. Retractable screen systems can be used for a variety of large openings, including lanais, porches, balconies, outdoor kitchens, garages, and other areas where you want flexible protection without permanent screening.
