finding The solution
Keeping the bugs at bay
The property benefitted from beautiful scenic views and lots of sunshine in their south-facing garden. However, living in the countryside came with one significant issue: insects!
During the hot summer months, the house would also become uncomfortably hot, but opening the windows wasn’t an option due to the overwhelming numbers of flies and spiders that would come into their home.
The homeowner discovered Phantom Screens online and got in touch to find a tailored a solution that would:
- Allow them to ventilate their home with fresh air from open windows
- Stop flies and spiders getting inside
- Blend in with their home’s aesthetic
- Add value (and comfort!) to their property
- Offer a long-term solution
The Phantom Screens team responded quickly, discussing the project needs in detail and conducting a home survey to take precise measurements and offer expert recommendations.
Installation
Seamless and Efficient
Two window screens were retrofitted inside the lounge, with two more in the main bedroom. The screens were manufactured in the UK, using Phantom Screens’ 18-14 black insect mesh, which is perfect for maintaining views and maximising air flow.
The bedroom window screens were installed side by side, giving the homeowners the flexibility to open their single and double windows and their screens independently.
To match their existing window frames, the screen framework was powder-coated in Cream (RAL 9001), creating a seamless, integrated look.
The Result
Total insect protection
The new window screens have significantly improved the homeowners’ daily lives. The benefits they have experienced include:
- Energising ventilation: The screens allow a steady flow of fresh air through the lounge windows, circulating throughout the house, and pushing stale air out of the upstairs window.
- Improved sleep: By controlling the temperature and eliminating buzzing insects, the homeowners are able to enjoy a good night’s sleep.
- Enhanced hygiene: Without insects getting in, the homeowners benefit from a cleaner, more hygienic environment, reducing the risk of bacteria and germs carried by pests.
