Maintaining Phantom Screens & Outdoor Living Products
Maintenance of the Phantom Screens require less maintenance than traditional screens since they retract
in their housing units, out of the elements, when not in use. The SunPro Awnings
and QMI Shutters are all easy to maintain as well.
Tips to Maintaining Your Phantom Screens
- Keep your screen retracted in it’s housing, especially during inclement weather such as snow, rain, high winds, etc.
- Keep the tracks free of dirt and debris. Be sure to also lubricate with Phantom’s greaseless silicone spray as needed (usually twice a year)
- If the mesh is wet, let it dry out before retracting the screen into it’s housing
- Mesh fabric, housing tracks, and slide bar can be cleaned with water and a soft brush. A mild detergent like dish soap can be used, but do not use chemicals or a power washer.
- Insect screens are intended to provide reasonable insect control and are not intended to provide the retention and/or security of objects, animals, or persons inside or outside of your dwelling.
- It is normal for the mesh to “sail” in certain windy conditions. This may cause the mesh to pull out of the track, however when the wind subsides the mesh will return against the track. If the mesh comes out and does not go back in on it’s own, you’re able to guide it back into the track with your fingertips – view our video below for guidance.
- When rolling the screen into the housing, ensure the mesh rolls evenly. Retracting the products with creases in the screen can cause wrinkles.
