What Is a Privacy Screen?
A privacy screen is a type of covering attached to window grates, designed to block direct sunlight and glare while maintaining privacy. It ensures that the interior of a building is not visible from the outside, whether in daylight or at night. However, it still allows outside light to enter, keeping the interior bright. Certain types of privacy screens also allow for the intake of outside air. These screens minimize silhouette reflections and enable viewing the outdoors while blending seamlessly with the exterior wall, without being conspicuous from the outside.
Uses of a Privacy Screen
Privacy screens are commonly used in windows within easy view, such as in apartments, condominiums, and detached houses located near busy pedestrian areas or close to neighboring homes. They are particularly suitable for rooms like changing areas and bathrooms, where privacy is a primary concern. In addition to residential use, privacy screens are also utilized in facilities and offices to admit sunlight and outside air. Available in various sizes, they are easy to install, making them a convenient addition to new buildings or homes.
