We are finalizing the unique details of our Spring Parade of Homes model on Arden Avenue in East Edina and are excited to share one of our favorite new products with you. Have you ever heard of a Phantom Screen?Phantom Screens are retractable screens for doors, windows and large openings. They are made in virtually any size and come in a variety of colors. The founders of Phantom Screens wanted to give homeowners a more aesthetically pleasing option for ventilation, shade from the sun, and keeping insects out. In Minnesota it is important to be able to take advantage of the limited, beautiful outdoor weather months – with a Phantom Screen you can do just that. You are able to leave your outdoor entertaining area wide-open during the day and then seamlessly transition it into a screened gathering area in the evening without having to sacrifice your views!We are using a single, large (11 feet wide by 8 feet tall) Phantom Screen for the backyard porch with a fireplace. This will be a great area to hang out, grill and relax. When the screen is lifted you will be able to walk directly out onto the home’s large beautifully landscaped flat backyard.We purchase our Phantom Screens from a local Minnesota company called Minnesota Screens Inc. They have been great to work with; helping us decide what would be the best screen option for our model home.
