Oversized openings are no longer a problem without solution in the Republic of Panama thanks to our distributorship of Executive Screens by Phantom Screens, the number one name in retractable screening solutions in North America.

Executive Screens are motorized screens meant to cover high and wide openings which a manual retractable insect or solar screen could not. This allows for you to enclose an area when insects or the sun is out, and pull the screen up when the area is not in use, or if it is simply not needed.

But beyond that Executive Screens are really without equal in the screening business, and this month we will explain why.

1. Size

Executive Screens can reach a width of 21 feet, or 640cm, something no other rolling solution on the local or even international market can boast. This is partly due to the unique design of the tube the Executive rolls onto, which is specially designed to be thicker and sturdier than anything available, which among many factors, allows for wide and long pieces of fabric to operate in ideal conditions.

2. Recessed Applications

Stainless Steel RodsFor years the only option in Panama for decorative rods were the standard plastic packaged metal and wood rods widely available hardware stores. Local decoration stores figured that if somebody wanted to spend more than $30 on a rod, they'd pay a premium, custom order it and wait a month or two for it.

Well, Leave it to Nostalgia to not underestimate the taste of the Panamanian public. Our wood, bamboo, faux wood and stainless steel rods come with a variety of finials all in stock. Our collections will cover most any style, from rustic, to modern, to far more rococo decoration that has been a mainstay in the Panamanian market. And for those of you by extra wide applications, most of the collections have hardware that allows for the rods to cover most any window.

Looking for curtains or drapery in Panama? It can be a hassle to work with separate providers: Buy a fabric in a shop, take the measurements yourself, have another person sow, make sure you find the proper curtain rod or track, and install by yourself or pay someone else to install the end result.

Finding everyone is a hassle and in the end who will give you a guarantee that it will be done right?

Panama, with its extreme humidity and high salt content near coastal areas create a perfect environment for rusting and oxidation. As such, it is recommended you take care to find a rust proof solution. I've personally dealt with clients who've decided to cut corners on low quality asian track only to have it rust to the point of uselessness within anywhere from seven months to two years.
