How it works
The main idea.
Slat screens introduce partial visual screening and edge definition while retaining openings between the slats. Panels are coordinated with the pergola frame, desired outlook and selected timber or aluminium finish.

What to confirm
Project scope
What to confirm.
- Structure
- Aluminium perimeter frame with adjustable brackets
- Performance
- Panel width and post spacing confirmed for the selected profile, opening and exposure
- Installation
- Supplier availability and the on-site sequence are confirmed for the selected screen system and measured openings
Privacy versus outlook
Denser spacing screens more, but reduces the view and can make the edge feel heavier.
