Do you have an outdoor space that you love spending time in? Perhaps a backyard with a garden, a patio for entertaining, or just a small balcony to enjoy some fresh air? True enough, open spaces and natural light are great reminders of the beauty and energy of nature. But there may be times as well when you want a little extra privacy while you enjoy your outdoor space. Want us to tell you the good news? Outdoor privacy screens may be just what you need! What are outdoor privacy screens? Modern outdoor privacy screens are essentially a type of fence, but they’re much more lightweight and versatile. They are designed to create barriers between your property's outdoor area and public spaces, allowing air and light to flow freely while keeping prying eyes out. These screens come in a variety of styles, sizes, and materials to fit your specific needs and space. Some are made of natural materials like wood, while others are made of metal or glass. Many can be easily installed and removed, an ideal solution for those who rent or frequently change their outdoor layout. Newcastle Glass Fencing offers aluminium and frosted glass privacy screens that are perfect for your outdoor space. The aluminium frame provides a sleek and modern look, while the frosted glass panels offer just the right amount of privacy without blocking out all natural light. Wanna know the benefits of having outdoor privacy screens? Apart from the obvious benefit of providing privacy, here are a few other reasons why you may want to consider getting outdoor privacy screens for your home: Enhanced aesthetics: With a variety of styles and materials available, outdoor privacy screens can add to the overall look and feel of your outdoor space. They can act as decorative accents, creating a more visually appealing area. Protection from the elements: The added barrier of privacy screens can also provide some protection from the wind, sun, and rain. This can help make your outdoor space more comfortable to use in different weather conditions. On a windy day, for instance, you can still enjoy your patio without worrying about dirt flying into your face or papers getting blown away. Noise reduction: If you live near a busy road or have noisy neighbours, outdoor privacy screens can act as buffer zones, reducing noise pollution and creating a more peaceful outdoor environment. Increased security: Privacy screens can also serve as an added layer of security for your property. They can deter burglars or unwanted guests from easily accessing what's beyond the screens.

Aluminium tubular fencing, made of lightweight and durable aluminium, is a versatile fencing option that's been gaining traction in recent years. Sleek and modern in design, this type of fencing solution is highly resistant to corrosion, much easier to maintain than other modern fencing materials like glass, and when it comes to costs, it's also considerably cheaper than wrought iron or steel fencing. Here are some of the advantages of using this type of fencing around your house: Security In areas where security is a concern, aluminium tubular fencing adds an extra layer of protection to your property. Residential properties with children and pets can also benefit from the added security of this type of fencing, as it is difficult to climb over and has minimal gaps for small animals to escape through. We can further modify the design to fit your property's aesthetics, current security measures, and functional requirements. Durability As mentioned earlier, aluminium tubular fencing is highly resistant to corrosion. This means it can withstand harsh weather conditions like heavy rain, strong winds or intense sun exposure without rusting or deteriorating. Moreover, with minimal maintenance needed, there's less worrying about the cost or effort associated with keeping your fence in good condition. Low Maintenance Unlike wooden fences that require regular painting and staining, or wrought iron fences that need to be repainted every few years, aluminium tubular fences only need an occasional wash with mild soap and water to stay looking new. You can also use car wax to add an extra layer of protection and shine but regular cleaning is usually sufficient. For properties in coastal areas or with high levels of salt exposure, you can clean your fencing at least once a week to keep the salt from building up and causing damage over time. Lighting integration The great thing about aluminium tubular fencing is that it can easily be modified to include lighting fixtures so you're hitting two birds with one stone. By adding lighting to your fence, you not only increase the security around your property but also add an attractive feature that can enhance its overall appearance at night. Which areas of your property can be secured with aluminium tubular fencing? Entrance: Instead of full concrete walls, aluminium tubular fencing can be used to enclose the entrance of your property. This provides your home with a more open feel - the ventilation helps keep your home cooler, and the fencing still provides security. We can work on customising the design to fit any entrance so your fencing complements the overall design of your property. Front yard: The first thing people see when they approach your house is the front yard. For a more modern and aesthetically appealing look, aluminium tubular fencing can be used to enclose your front yard. This also enhances the overall curb appeal of your property. Pool area: To visibly separate your pool area from the rest of your backyard, you can opt for aluminium tubular fencings. This adds an extra layer of safety and security for children or pets without obstructing the view of your pool. However, some property sizes and layouts may present challenges when it comes to fencing around a pool. We'll conduct site inspections to determine the best option for your specific property. Balcony: If glass fencing doesn't tickle your fancy, or perhaps isn't within your budget, aluminium tubular fencing can be used for balcony enclosures. Cheaper than glass with a similar aesthetic, aluminium tubular fences are a great alternative for those seeking a modern look without breaking the bank.
