Do I need planning permission to install a glass screen in my garden?

It depends on your location and the height of the screen. We recommend checking with your local authority if placing near boundaries or above 2 metres.

Can I use a privacy screen on a rooftop terrace or balcony?

Definitely. Our systems are suitable for elevated installations, including balconies and rooftop patios. Just make sure your substrate supports the fixing method.

Is a glass privacy screen suitable for windy locations?

Yes – our glass panels and posts are designed to handle outdoor wind loads. For very exposed areas, we recommend thicker glass and secure mounting.

How do I clean the glass and posts?

Use window cleaner or mild detergent. Aluminium and stainless steel need only an occasional wipe-down.

Can I combine a glass screen with plants or trellis?

Yes! Many customers integrate planters, trellises or wooden frames for a more natural or enclosed look.

How high should a privacy screen be?

We recommend 160–180 cm for effective screening, depending on the height of your deck or patio.

What type of glass is best for privacy?

Frosted (opal) glass offers the most privacy. Grey tinted glass adds a subtle barrier while allowing more light.

Is glass really safe outdoors?

Absolutely. We use laminated and toughened safety glass designed to resist impacts and extreme weather.

Can I install a privacy screen myself?

Yes – our systems are made for DIY installation and come with detailed guides and videos.
