Phantom Screens has introduced its new Cable Guide System, an exterior window screen that the company says reduces heat gain by seven times compared to shades installed inside of glass. The product was on display at the company's booth at PCBC 2019.

The screen manufacturer also showcased its manual retractable wall screens for large patio doors and motorized wall screens, which can add usable space outside a home's walls. Phantom Screens' B2B marketing manager Jeret Unger talked to us about how the company's products expand a home's living space and preserve curb appeal.
