The Phantom Story

Phantom Screens Australia (Mfg) is Australia’s leading provider of retractable screening solutions for doors, windows and more. Founded in 1995 and based in Adelaide, South Australia, Phantom is a ground-breaking organisation that has pioneered and revolutionised the market it serves.

Phantom was founded on the principle that there is a better alternative to conventional insect screens. While these screens are functional in improving ventilation and keeping insects outside, they lack style and sophistication. Conventional screens often block a homeowner’s view and detract from the style and décor of their home. The Phantom founders recognised this as an opportunity and set out to find a better solution - one that had the customer’s aesthetic, lifestyle and functional needs in mind.

Phantom took proven European and North American technology and innovatively adapted it to suit the design of Australian homes. The result was the first generation “Phantom” screen. This retractable screening system quickly became popular with homeowners and contractors alike. Since 1995, Phantom has rapidly grown to meet customer demand for its innovative products. Improvements have been made to the original Phantom screen door, and the company has rolled out the ultra sized Executive power screen lines, as well. The company has also built a network of exclusive distributors throughout Australia and New Zealand. These distribution partners, responsible for sales, service, installation and market development are a key component of Phantom’s customer-focused delivery system. Today, Phantom Screens are available through the largest network of retractable screen distributors in Australasia.
