Phantom Retractable Screens Collaboration Makes a Wide Impact

When we build a custom home at EKA Build, we always keep in mind the simple truth that details make the difference. We carefully select every element of our design and rely on only the best components to make your home as functional as it is beautiful.

This is exactly why we have come to love working with Phantom Screens. Their innovative, retractable screens systems allow us to plan convenient and game changing features that elevate our homes to the highest level of comfort.

We recently had the chance to talk a bit about one of our favorite collaborations with Phantom Screens – The Rosewood Farmhouse. Listen to why we love these screens so much and see them in action below:

Meet Phantom Screens - Leaders in Retractable Screening

If you live in the midwest, you know how important screen doors and windows are to your comfort during the warmer months. We wait all winter long to be able to enjoy the fresh air, so when the time finally comes, we don’t like to waste any time shutting ourselves indoors.

Phantom Screens knows this problem well, and has strived to provide the best retractable screen doors and other screening solutions to homeowners across the globe for over 30 years! From humble beginnings in a Canadian garage, Phantom has rocketed to the forefront of their industry with their innovative technology and sleek designs.

Phantom’s motorized patio screens have created many new opportunities for custom home builders looking to create dynamic and comfortable outdoor areas. With the push of a button, an open porch can be converted into a part of your living space with no worry of pests or unwanted debris invading.

Enjoying a warm summer evening away from the mosquitoes becomes even more enjoyable when you can pack up the screen as easily as you put it down when the weather isn’t conducive to open air living. These motorized patio screens function seamlessly when deployed, yet invisible when not in use.

You don’t even know they’re there—until you need them.

Why EKA Loves Building with Phantom Screens

At the core of our process at EKA Build is comfort. Our knowledge, service, and dedication to excellence all drives us towards creating a space that you will enjoy living in.

Our partnership with Phantom Screens allows us to provide this experience to clients who wish to enjoy their outdoor spaces to the fullest. Their retractable screens are the best quality we’ve found—designed to disappear when not in use and ready at a moment’s notice to offer shade, airflow, or protection from bugs.

But it’s not just about functionality. What drew us to Phantom was how effortlessly their products support the kind of architecture we believe in: timeless, intentional, and high performing. These screens don’t interrupt a view or clutter a design, they enhance it by quietly elevating the feel of a porch or patio without ever drawing attention.

Designed to Disappear

One of the things we admire most about Phantom Screens is how well they integrate into the homes we build. From the start of a project, we plan their placement with intention by prepping the framing, running electrical, and mapping out every install point to ensure a flawless finish.

The result is a retractable screen system that feels like it was always meant to be there. Whether it’s a wide opening on a lakefront patio or a series of narrow panels tucked between porch columns, the clean lines of the architecture remain untouched. There’s no visual disruption, just an open, breathable space that can shift based on your needs.

You don’t have to compromise views for ventilation. And you don’t have to give up clean lines to stay protected from bugs. That’s exactly the kind of design balance we strive for. With Phantom Screens, we don’t have to choose between beauty and performance—our clients get both.

Collaboration in Action

What made working with Phantom Screens stand out wasn’t just the quality of their product, it was the quality of their partnership. From the very first conversations, their team was engaged, collaborative, and committed to a seamless construction.

Together, we planned every detail: coordinating framing during the build, ensuring electrical access was in place, and carefully aligning installation points so the motorized screens felt like part of the home’s structure. Their team worked side by side with ours through it all, making sure no element was missed.

They understood what we were trying to do, and they made it happen. That level of shared dedication means that we can take on even the most detailed installs—like fitting multiple custom-sized screens between tight column spacing without compromising design. It’s that kind of collaboration that makes a good feature great.

A Motorized Screen Porch at the Rosewood

Our recently featured collaboration with Phantom Screens – The Rosewood Farmhouse – is a custom home that beautifully blends country charm with modern living. At the heart of this build is a bright, welcoming living room that opens directly onto a red brick veranda, complete with an outdoor fireplace and classic farmhouse detailing.

The entire porch is wrapped with motorized patio screens that lower at the touch of a button, allowing homeowners to enjoy the fresh air without worrying about pests or glare. On warm days, the multiglide doors connecting the living room to the porch can be fully opened, transforming the entire space into one seamless indoor-outdoor living experience.

What makes it truly remarkable is how well the retractable screens disappear into the architecture. Tucked into the lines of the red brick columns and trim, they’re nearly invisible until they’re needed—preserving the elegance of the veranda while adding an entirely new layer of livability.

What Clients Love Most about Phantom Retractable Screens

Our clients are often amazed the first time they see Phantom Screens in action. There’s a certain magic in watching a wide-open space turn into a fine screen wall with a simple touch of a button, then disappear again in an instant.

But more than the wow factor, what our homeowners appreciate is the way these screens quietly improve their daily lives. Whether it’s enjoying morning coffee without the glare from the rising sun or hosting dinner on the veranda without the constant buzz of mosquitoes, Phantom Screens create spaces that are both practical and peaceful.

It’s the perfect blend of indoor comfort and outdoor living. And once you’ve lived with that kind of seamless connection to the outdoors, it’s hard to imagine going back.

Built on Shared Values, Designed for Better Living

At EKA Build, we always strive to create homes that enhance the way our clients live. That’s why our partnership with Phantom Screens feels like such a natural fit. Both of our teams believe that great design is about more than just how something looks—it’s about how it serves the people who live with it every day.

Together, we’re committed to delivering beauty, comfort, and performance without compromise. Phantom’s innovative screens help us offer the kind of flexible, high-quality spaces our clients love.
