Metal terrace screens: light, privacy and design
What to review in the design of a panel to filter views without forgetting lighting, outdoor exposure and maintenance.
A lattice changes the relationship between a terrace and its surroundings. It can filter views, but also modify lighting and opening sensation. Choosing only by drawing can lead to too closed or unhelpful result.
Test the address of the views
Privacy depends on the location from which it is viewed. Mark in photographs the points you want to protect and the height of the user. A screen that works from one angle can leave views from another. If possible, test a sample or simulation before approving the design.
Lighting and maintenance
Very dense drawings reduce opening and can accumulate dirt in hard-to-reach areas. Define how both faces will be cleaned and if there will be nearby vegetation. Access to maintain the finish should be considered along with aesthetics.
Decorative panel does not mean protection against falls
If there is a difference, the protection solution needs its own evaluation. Do not replace a railing with a lattice chosen by appearance. Nor add a closed panel to an existing rail without checking fixations and support.
From Drawing to Manufacturing
Prepares the desired design, dimensions and finish, and identifies the support. Consult if geometry can be manufactured with the available processes, which joints will be seen and how the edges will be solved. Plasma cutting may be part of the process when appropriate.
Consultation lattice shops and decorative panels in Menorca to evaluate your proposal. If the priority is the limit of the plot, check metal enclosures; if it is the protection of a terrace, consult Metal handrails.
