Southern Living and Phantom Screens work together for the Southern Living Idea House 2023, showcasing 12 Phantom Screens motorized retractable screens, including the dual-roller system with a mix of mesh and vinyl.
ABBOTSFORD, BC, Sept. 7, 2023 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Phantom Screens, North America's leading provider of retractable screens, is thrilled to announce its partnership with the coveted Southern Living Magazine. This premier lifestyle magazine was looking for a manufacturer who could produce custom-fit, high-performance, sustainable, and innovative screens for its 2023 Idea House. We are honored Southern Living chose Phantom Screens for this exciting collaboration.
Southern Living has partnered with North America's most talented builders, architects, and designers for more than three decades to create its annual custom house. This year's Idea House connects innovation with sustainability and gorgeous aesthetics to celebrate the Southern lifestyle while applauding the latest and greatest advancements in home design.
Deirdre Finnegan, VP/Group Publisher of Southern Living, explains the 35+ year appeal of the Idea House program, ensuring their readers are drawn to the very best in design and innovation that these homes feature. Phantom Screens is proud to be recognized amongst such a high caliber group of innovators involved in the project.
Dubbed a "Mayberry meets Marfa" town, the ever-so-quaint historic village of Leiper's Fork is nestled in the rolling green hills of Williamson County. The Southern Living 2023 Idea House sits on the hilltop on the property's 67 acres of rural farmland, with a multipurpose barn dubbed "the party barn" that adjoins the pool and endless open-air entertaining spaces.
Twelve Phantom motorized screens were installed by authorized Phantom distributor Home Building Products. Five dual rollers on the upper porch offer double the perks: mesh screens for bug protection and vinyl screens for climate control. The home boasts ten screens on the upper porch and two mesh screens on the lower porch. These screens grace the patio of the lower-level sleeper porch, the billiards room's lower deck, and the expansive top terrace. The home can now expand the indoor/outdoor areas with just the touch of a button for a cozy year-round entertaining space.
Powered by Somfy®, Phantom's motorized retractable screens can open and close anywhere, from a handheld remote to your smart home device to an app on your smartphone. Phantom's motorized screens can also come equipped with sun sensor detectors to help you avoid damaging your screens and reduce heat in your home. So, if there is a sharp temperature rise, your exterior screens will lower automatically to maintain an optimal temperature inside your home.
