As humans, our desire for privacy is a basic fundamental we have come to expect in our own homes.

Most homeowners who value their privacy invest in a variety of options to protect the privacy of their property and those who live within it, without affecting its original aesthetic. One option is to use Decorative Privacy Screens.  

Why Do I Need Privacy Screening

Let’s first understand the concept and the functionality of privacy screens by looking at a few ways in which you could incorporate privacy screening into your space to enhance your lifestyle.

  • Build a private haven in your outdoor space
  • Shield your patio from prying eyes
  • Transform lack lustre spaces into artistic, feature walls: Simply place screens along bland fences to create a captivating, wall art feature whilst creating privacy and making the space more intimate.
  • You can host a dinner party on your deck or patio to a back drop of decorative screens which add to the aesthetic and create privacy from neighbours for intimate dining.
  • Turn outdoor play areas into sun safe zones for your kids that are functional and stylish
  • Hide necessary, yet ugly features-Turn lemons into lemonade by covering air conditioner units, bins and other landscaping eyesores with a well-placed and thoughtfully considered screens.

Outdoor Screens are an essential need in almost every garden design.

Types Of Privacy Screens

Privacy screens are limitless. Traditional options include solid brick walls to slatted timber, rendered blue board, clumping bamboo and also living green walls. There is a privacy screen to suit every application and every budget. At Urban Metal, we concentrate on our area of expertise – laser cut decorative metal screens, a perfect blend of design and technology. The benefit of laser cutting means that it gives a clean and detailed finish with minimal wastage. It also allows for our designs to be intricately designed and in many instances, the laser cut material makes the perfect base of the inclusion of colour.

The many choices available when it comes to choosing which decorative privacy screening option is right for you means this process can be overwhelming. Powder coated aluminium screens are great for gardens, fences, courtyards and outdoor dining areas. They are also the perfect choice for creating private spaces in pool areas or for blocking the view of neighbours. They are light weight, easy to install, long lasting and require very minimal maintenance. Weathering steel, a popular choice due to the variances in colour, strength and virtually no maintenance. They also look fabulous, however, keep in mind the rusted patina means that they are not suitable for all applications. Likewise for stainless steel. Available in two finishes, brushed satin or mirrored, they are an incredibly stylish choice, however, they do require a certain amount of maintenance in comparison to other materials.

Decorative Privacy Screen Designs

At Urban Metal thinking outside of the box, challenging the norm, and going above and beyond what is expected is all part of the process when we are designing your privacy screens. We don’t like cookie-cutter, done before techniques, and when designing specifically for privacy screening there are many additional factors which require important consideration. We challenge you to expand your thinking. We can customize the privacy screen, depending on your design ideas, budget, placement choices, requirements and choice of material. Will your privacy screen become the focal point to reclaim the aesthetics in your own sanctuary or do you require a privacy screen which blends in and becomes a functional, yet less obvious, addition to your home? How much privacy is required? Do you need almost full coverage with minimal open areas providing less visibility through the privacy screen or would you like increased open area so that the screen is not too enclosed and allows the breeze to flow through, however also creates enough of a distraction to become a feature or statement piece? Whatever your requirements, we collaborate and work with you to ensure that the privacy screening solution we provide well exceeds your expectations.

Fixtures & Framework

Our privacy screens are tailored to suit your needs and where required, fixtures and framework, posts or pre-drilled holes can be provided, so DIY installation is made easy.

Cleaning & Maintenance

To ensure your newly installed Urban Metal Decorative Screen is long-lasting and looking beautiful for years to come, it is important to understand the maintenance requirements.

Stainless Steel: A speciality finish which does require a certain amount of maintenance. As to the frequency, most suppliers would agree that stainless steel should be cleaned on an “as needed” basis. Regardless of the grade of material, all stainless steel can be prone to ‘tea staining’. Stainless Steel should be kept clean and free of dirt and grime to ensure its natural and original appearance.

Weathering Steel: A high strength steel which develops a protective rusted ‘patina’ which inhibits further corrosion. Originally designed for architectural use on bridge construction and shipping containers, weathering steel has been known to achieve a 100+ year life span.

Powder Coated Aluminium or Steel: For the majority of our powder coated panels, the brand we choose to use is DULUX. They recommend that a simple, regular maintenance program should be implemented. The effects of ultra violet light, atmospheric pollution, dirt grime and airborne salt deposits can all accurate over time and should be removed at regular intervals. As a general rule, cleaning should take place every three months. For additional tips to maintaining your powder coated products, please click here.
