Motorized Screens with Cable Guide in Sunset, SC

Some openings are difficult to screen: an open corner, a decorative column, or a large window that takes direct sun all afternoon. A Phantom motorized screen with cable guide handles these spaces by using self-tensioning cables instead of side tracks or posts.

Upstate Retractable Screens supplies and installs motorized screens with cable guide  in Sunset, SC, custom made and installed by a local team.

Sunset homeowners consider cable guide screens for:

  • Open porch corners with no post for a track
  • Decorative columns they want to leave uncovered
  • Large windows with strong sun exposure
  • Wide openings needing a slim, low-profile look
  • Exterior shading to help keep rooms cooler
  • A clean, modern appearance

How It Works

The screen travels along two cables that stay tight through self-tensioning. It can be mounted to a wall or the floor, depending on your layout, and it operates with the push of a button.

That means the screen can sit in front of an opening without depending on side tracks, which is why it suits so many unusual spaces.

Sun Control From The Outside

A screen placed outside the glass stops sun before it heats the room, which is generally more effective than interior shades alone. For Sunset homes with west-facing views or large glass areas, that can mean cooler rooms and less fading of floors and furniture, while solar mesh preserves much of the view.
