Product Differentiation
Phantom Screens is the industry leader in retractable screens. Part of this reason comes from the product differentiation from the competition in the use of the quality of materials, manufacturing processes, and superior product design. All of these aspects have been proven over time as many builders choose Phantom Screens over the competition. When comparing retractable screens, it is important to see what sets Phantom Screens apart from its competition. The following list includes several key design and material aspects that play a key role in Phantom Screens being the industry leader in retractable screens:
Feature | Phantom | Competition |
Complete bottom seal can be achieved even with up to 2″ variations in flooring due to 3 available sized gaskets | ✓ | ? |
Mesh can be taper cut from 3/4″ to 6″ from left to right depending on screen width to make up for any slope on the patio for drainage etc. | ✓ | ? |
