Exterior mounted shades are quickly becoming a must-have for Southern California homeowners. With year-round sunshine that’s both a blessing and a challenge, these shades help manage the intense SoCal heat—especially during peak summer months—by keeping indoor spaces naturally cooler. Traditional blinds may offer some relief, but they often trap heat inside, pushing your A/C into overdrive and increasing cooling costs.
If you’re looking for a smarter, more efficient solution, Phantom Retractable Screens are the perfect upgrade. Designed for modern coastal home designs in places like Laguna Beach and Newport Beach, these shades deliver comfort, energy efficiency, and sleek style that fits right into the Southern California lifestyle.
The Secret to Comfortable, Energy-Efficient Living
By installing shades on the exterior of your windows or patio doors, you block the sun’s rays before they even enter your home. Phantom Retractable Screens and motorized patio door screens act as your first line of defense against the intense SoCal sun, naturally reducing indoor temperatures and keeping your space cooler without over-relying on air conditioning.
Whether you live in Malibu, Rolling Hills, or Beverly Hills, these retractable screens help reduce indoor temperatures, keeping your home more comfortable while lowering your reliance on air conditioning.
Studies support the effectiveness of exterior shading in reducing energy consumption:
Oak Ridge National Laboratory’s 2023 study showed that homes using effective exterior shading solutions saw significant energy savings, particularly in reducing cooling costs. Phantom Screens, with their ability to block up to 90% of solar heat before it enters your home, offer a similar solution that can help reduce the strain on your air conditioning and maintain a comfortable indoor environment.
The result? Lower energy bills, improved efficiency, and a more comfortable home—without the constant hum of your A/C.
Energy Savings While Enhancing Your Home
In sun-soaked cities like Manhattan Beach and La Cañada Flintridge, energy savings are a big deal. With Phantom’s retractable screens, you’ll notice a significant drop in your monthly utility bills. Homeowners across Southern California are discovering that this simple addition can lead to hundreds of dollars in annual savings, not to mention a reduced carbon footprint.
Plus, these durable, weatherproof shades are made to withstand the region’s unique climate—from coastal moisture to intense UV rays. They won’t fade, warp, or break down like traditional indoor blinds, making them a low-maintenance investment that lasts.
Better Sun Protection and Enhanced Privacy
Blocking heat is just the beginning. The retractable screens also provide superior sun protection by minimizing glare—perfect for watching TV, reading, or working from home. They even help prevent UV damage to your furniture, floors, and electronics.
And if you live in a busy neighborhood like Hidden Hills, Palos Verdes Estates, or San Marino, the added privacy is a major bonus. These privacy shades allow you to enjoy your stunning views without sacrificing comfort or style.

Whether you’re hosting a summer gathering on your balcony in Hermosa Beach or relaxing in your living room in El Segundo, you’ll love how these shades support your indoor-outdoor lifestyle.
From sun protection and heat blocking to improved comfort and energy savings, Phantom Screens’ are an easy, impactful way to elevate your home.
