Cable Guide System

Phantom’s cable guide system is the newest option available within our family of motorized retractable screens. The cable guides are ideal for solar shading applications, particularly on windows, glass walls and open outdoor structures. Not every covered outdoor space has posts to mount tracks onto, which is where our cable-guided system can be applied. Our screens can be secured with cables that are mounted from the roller to a floor or vertical surface (such as a railing, wall, etc.). Not only does the cable guide system provide structural benefits, its self-tensioning technology helps keep the cables taut in varying outdoor conditions, reducing the need for maintenance. The system can fit a variety of sizing configurations between 25 feet wide by 11 feet high or 20 feet high by 9 feet wide. Also, the solar screens can be integrated into home automation systems or applied to smart controls with sun and wind sensors. Most competitive products place the tensioning adjustment on visible anchors creating a bulky look. Phantom’s self-adjusting system is hidden away in the recessed ceiling cavity or roller housing. Additionally, the floor anchor is one of the lowest profiles on the market at only 9/16” high. The cables are 5/32” in diameter and composed of stainless-steel ensuring Phantom’s motorized solar screen is one of the most durable cable-guided systems available on the market. Phantom motorized screens are exterior grade making them 7X more effective at reducing solar heat gain than interior shading systems according to the US Department of Housing & Urban Development. This can dramatically reduce the amount of time that A/C systems are running and burning energy. The cable guide system can be applied on any exterior space or opening that needs solar shading and the screen itself remains hidden out of sight until its needed.
