There is a tricky balance between enjoying your views and enjoying privacy. Open patios and decks with an uninterrupted view of the land are much desired in a home. But the open views also give unhindered flows of winds. In a place like Calgary where winds are common, this can be a spoiler. There is also the issue of privacy. Having an open deck can sometimes limit your privacy.
A glass privacy wall is a perfect solution. As a transparent material, it allows you to have your uninterrupted views. The good thing with glass is that you can tint it for enhanced privacy. This is just like the tinted windows on a car. You can see from the inside but people on the outside can hardly see through to your patio or decking.
Glass is a good material because it can be easily installed. It does not require a lot of modifications and is aesthetically pleasing.
Glass Wind Wall
Glass privacy walls are very effective for keeping out the winds. Mountain View Sun Decks offers glass wind walls made from 10-12 mm thick tempered glass. The walls can be as high as 7 feet with spans of 3 feet between posts. You can choose to have the glass installed clear, tinted or satin etched depending on your privacy needs.
The glass wall comes with topless glass railings, which makes it suitable for installing on patios, decks, or yards. Our glass wind walls have been made to withstand tornado force winds travelling at 135 km/h. In areas where high winds are prevalent, the span between posts is narrowed for more strength. This ranges from the standard 54″ at 42″ tall to 36″ at 84″ tall.
The height of the glass wall can be as high as 7 feet or 84 inches. Coupled with tinting or satin etching, it is not possible for people on the outside to see through. The glass is supported by fashionable posts that come in white, grey, silver or black.
Framed Glass Walls
If your condo already has framed glass railing, we can install framed glass privacy walls that keep the look consistent. Framed glass walls go up to a maximum height of 6 feet. They can bear the same wind load pressure as topless glass walls.
A glass privacy wall is a very valuable additional feature for your home. It allows you to get more value from the recreative spaces like the deck. Here at Mountain View Sun Decks, we have an expert team who can install a glass privacy wall that looks great and works! Talk to us today and book a consultation online.
