Privacy screens have become very popular with suburban homeowners and with so many different designs on the market (including custom options), they help to update your property and give it some extra design style. The issue is – do you really need a privacy screen?
Let’s take a look at some of the reasons why lots of people love privacy screens.
Privacy screens give you privacy!
The obvious reason that so many homeowners install privacy screens is that they increase your privacy. Many homes are built close to the road, so that anyone can look through an open door or the front windows, giving you no privacy inside your home. Installing a privacy screen in front of your main entrance or the bedroom windows helps to keep prying eyes away. Also, they are ideal in the back yard, particularly if the neighbours can see everything you do!
Privacy screens help to hide outside fixtures
You might not want to see your rubbish bins every day or your A/C compressors, even the pool filter, hot water heater and sheds aren’t the best views to experience from your patio. Privacy screens can be positioned so that you have easy access to all of these fixtures, but they are concealed from your immediate view as well.
Privacy screens create outdoor spaces
An easy and cost-effective solution to creating outdoor spaces is to erect a few privacy screens, blocking the neighbour’s view and creating an outdoor alfresco area, games room or quiet reading nook. You might be surprised at the additional living spaces you can put together with privacy screens – and they also let the breezes flow through, which is a big bonus during the hot summer days.
