The Benefits You Can Enjoy Using Folding Walls & Screens

The Benefits You Can Enjo

If you think walls would be something impossible to improve on, you’d be wrong. At Phantom Screens Okanagan we’ve reinvented the wheel, *ahem*, wall, with folding walls and screens. Oh come on, I hear you say, how can a wall, or folding wall/screen, make a difference in my life? Well, you’re in for a surprise (and a delightful one at that). Below are some of the great benefits by installing one into your own home. So let’s hit the ground running!

Open Up Any Space

The summers in BC can be gorgeous, and while there’s many ways to enjoy the sun-drenched season, if you have to work indoors it can be difficult to bring the outdoors to you. But with folding walls you can take a small room and open it up to the outside without having to worry about bugs. Enjoy the comfort of your favourite recliner while looking out into the beautiful landscape. Even keep a closer eye on the kids with the extra viewing space. With customizable track stopping points you can breathe in as much of the outside as you want.

Let In The Light

Living in Canada can mean enduring dark winters and cloudy days, but there’s also plenty of sunshine that breaks through and can make all the difference in not only your mood, but also your health. With folding walls and screens you can open up your space and let in all that light. With the extra sun beaming in you can get more Vitamin D, which helps with bone health, improving depression, which means a happier you. And if you’re happy, that positively impacts the people around you too. Basically, you buy a folding wall/screen and you make yourself, and other people, happier. And who couldn’t use a little more happiness in their life?

Be A Social Butterfly

Somehow you got stuck hosting the big (insert event name here), but in your already small space the last thing you want is to have people knocking your expensive lamps over. But what can you do? It’s not like you can bust down a wall. Correction, you definitely can! Bust that wall down (properly, we advise using someone with renovation expertise) and install that folding wall or screen right in. Now you have an easy way to extend your living space without having to explain how your family lamp was broken by a friend trying to show you how bad at handstands they are.

So there you have it, all the great things that can happen in your life as a result of folding walls or screens. If we’ve convinced you that you need these in your life (or at the very least have had your interest piqued) check out the link below that goes into more detail about them. Hopefully you haven’t “walled” yourself in, this is a time to be flexible so go with the “fold”!
