About Phantom Screens NZ

New Zealand owned and operated since 1999 - measured, fitted, and serviced by our own team.

Our story

Phantom Screens came to New Zealand in 1999, when Vaughan Bryant started fitting Phantom’s retractable screens - made in those days in Phantom’s Adelaide factory - and ran the whole operation from a carport on Fraser Street in Tauranga. For years Vaughan was on the road the length of the country, measuring openings, fitting screens, and building a dealer network from the ground up.

When Adam Broadbent took the business over, it came with some stock, some hard-won know-how, and one employee - who still builds screens in our Tauranga workshop today. Vaughan took Adam out to his first measure-up himself: a big country home in the Waikato, the trees turning as they drove down in the autumn. Since then we’ve grown that dealer network and brought manufacturing to New Zealand - our retractable window screens are now made to measure in our own Tauranga workshop, alongside our head office. The hands-on start hasn’t changed: the people who measure your openings are the people who make and fit your screens.

We’ve screened more than 3,000 Kiwi homes, and our own team installs and services every retractable insect screen, window screen, and outdoor blind we sell.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Where is Phantom Screens NZ based? +

Our workshop and head office are in Tauranga, where our retractable window screens are made to measure, and our own team measures, makes, fits, and services every screen. We take on larger and architectural projects nationwide by arrangement.

Are you the same company as Phantom Screens in the US or Canada? +

Phantom Screens NZ is New Zealand owned and run, and part of the wider Phantom Screens family. Phantom in Canada leads much of the group's research and development, and a few of our door and outdoor ranges are made to measure by Phantom in Australia, where our New Zealand volumes are too low to make them here. Most of our screens are made to measure in our own Tauranga workshop.
