Phantom Motorized Screens and Vinyl in Greenville, SC
A porch or patio should be a place you want to sit, not a room you avoid because of afternoon sun, mosquitoes, or a cool breeze. Phantom motorized screens lower at the touch of a button, protect the opening, and disappear when you want a clear view. For homeowners who want that flexibility, Phantom motorized screens in Greenville, SC are a practical way to use covered outdoor space more often.
Upstate Retractable Screens supplies and installs custom Phantom systems in both mesh and clear vinyl. Each one is built to the size of your opening rather than adapted from a standard size.
Motorized screens are commonly chosen to solve problems such as:
- Insects reaching seating and dining areas
- Strong afternoon sun and glare on porches and patios
- Furniture and flooring fading from UV exposure
- Limited privacy from neighboring yards
- Wind, rain, or cool air that makes the space unusable in some seasons
- Large openings where a fixed screen would block the view
A screen that fits the way you use your space gets used every day. Our job is to match the material, mounting, and controls to your opening before anything is ordered.
A Precise Fit Starts With Careful Measuring
Motorized screens work best when the opening has been measured properly. Width, height, mounting surfaces, and nearby obstructions all affect how the screen sits and how smoothly it retracts. A guess that is off by even a small amount can lead to gaps, rubbing, or an uneven look.
During your free visit for motorized screens in Greenville, we check details such as:
- Opening width and height at several points
- Wall, column, or ceiling surfaces available for mounting
- Whether the housing will be surface mounted or recessed
- Power access for the motor
- Where sun, wind, and insects affect the space most
- How you want to control the screen day to day
Good measurements also protect your budget. When the opening is documented correctly, your quote stays accurate and installation runs on schedule.
Mesh, Fabric, or Clear Vinyl: Choosing The Right Material
The material decides what the screen does for you. Mesh options are designed for insect protection, sun control, and glare reduction while keeping much of the view. Solar fabrics can block more heat and give added privacy. Clear vinyl acts as a see-through barrier against wind and weather.
Many Greenville homeowners choose mesh for warm-season comfort, then add vinyl to extend the season into cooler months. Some openings use both materials together so you can lower the layer that suits the weather that day.
We help you compare openness, shade level, and visibility so the finished screen suits your home, not just the brochure.
Controls And Mounting Depend On Your Space
Phantom motorized screens can be operated with an in-wall switch, a handheld remote, or a mobile control, and many can connect to home automation systems. This makes it easy to lower the screens for a morning coffee or raise them for a party.
Mounting also changes the finished look:
- Surface-mounted housings suit finished walls and columns
- Recessed installation can give a cleaner, built-in appearance
- Wall and ceiling conditions determine which mounting method works
- Controls can be placed where they are convenient to reach
When the design is planned around your porch or patio, the screen feels like part of the house.

Timing depends on the size of the opening and the number of screens. We give you an expected timeframe with your quote, and simple single-screen projects are typically much quicker than multi-screen porches.
Yes. Phantom offers a dual roller approach so one opening can carry both an insect or solar mesh screen and a clear vinyl screen.
