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 wind. In a place like Calgary where windy days are common, this can be a spoiler. There is also the issue of privacy, having an open deck can provide an open view to whatever is happening on your deck.
A glass privacy wall is a perfect solution to meet privacy and uninterrupted views in the middle. As a transparent material, it allows you to have your uninterrupted views. The good thing with glass is that you can tint or frost 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 privacy walls are very effective for keeping out the wind. 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 and design preferences.
The glass wind 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 heavy wind gusts that can be common during thunderstorm season. In areas where high winds are prevalent, the span between posts is narrowed for more strength. This ranges from the standard 54″ wide at 42″ tall, to 36″ wide 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 ensures your time on the deck is safe and secure. The glass is supported by fashionable posts that come in custom colours to match your home and design preferences.
If your condo or home already has framed glass railings, 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 feature for your home’s outdoor spaces. It allows you to get more value and usability from spaces like the deck or patio. Here at Mountain View Sun Decks, we have an expert team who can design and install a custom glass privacy wall. Our team has over 20 years of experience ensuring Calgarians have the outdoor space they deserve. Contact MVSD today to book your consultation.
“We are very pleased with the work Mountain View Sun Decks did for us. They were on time, efficient and did an excellent job. We highly recommend them for any deck/railing work!"
"Our glass house in the sky" These fellows managed to build our sun room onto a second floor balcony straight up from the outside...The project was finished on time and on budget, despite all the wet weather. Bravo, Mountain View Sun Decks!
Hi Steven, Happy Friday!!!! Just wanted to say hi and that I love my deck. The guys finished up Wednesday evening. I haven't had time to really enjoy my deck yet but hopefully this weekend I will. Thanks again for all your patience and help with getting this completed and to what I was looking for. I have all of July and August to enjoy my deck now and hopefully September. Have a wonderful weekend. April
Rebuilt the deck at the back of the house;because of cost we kept the same footprint as the previous deck;workmanship was excellent, the deck flooring is exceptional, almost like the extension of the inside flooring, loved the enclosed stairwell and the changes to the railing; very clean exit after job was complete, no delays in getting the work done;very pleased; in hindsight we should have spent the extra money for a tiered deck that we had in mind.
Our experience with the company and its employees, for the most part, has been excellent. The deck was enlarged and updated with dura deck vinyl covering, aluminium powder coated rails and lightly tinted glass over ten years ago, and it still looks great. Additional upgraded railings, opaque glass and a gate were later added. From the initial meeting with the sales representative to the completion of the project, the costs were on budget and on time. The quality of workmanship performed and professionalism of their employees can be considered first rate. The best part of having a Mountain View Sun Deck is not having to do any maintenance, just sit back and enjoy.
We had our old deck replaced. Complete removal and new installation. The work was performed during the winter and completed on time and budget to our complete satisfaction.
They came and put down my deck in record time. Looks beautiful. It was a difficult job because of a previous contractor had failed. They turned things around and left us very happy.
I hired Ewald and his team to replace a old wrought iron circular staircase off my desk with a traditional set of stairs in all aluminum. They were excellent to work with and I'd do business with them again anytime. Very professional, humble, creative, extremely detail orientated and excellent customer service from everyone. Price was fair and nothing negative to suggest about the product or service. Highly recommended!
Great staff, great owner, great service....could not be happier with my custom deck they built for me in 2015 and the issues they caught and fixed during the build. A great company and team....I would highly recommend. No corners cut....just quality product and service. Rod C.
Mountain View Sundecks installed an exterior staircase from out upper deck to the ground on our house. We were very pleased with this install. They were very responsive, met our schedule and came in at the price they quoted. I highly recommend them.
