Are you dreaming of enjoying a relaxing afternoon in your garden or on your balcony, shielded from unwanted eyes and the weather? Opt for a windbreak or privacy screen! Read about the properties of our Soltis fabrics, developed to provide maximum performance and visual comfort.
What are windbreaks and privacy screens?
Windbreaks and privacy screens are a type of outdoor screens used to create a perimeter around a patio or balcony. As the name suggests, a windbreak acts as a shield against the wind to either stop completely or significantly hinder the flow of air. Privacy screens on the other hand are used as a visual barrier to ensure privacy.
Both solutions may be attached to the wall of your house or apartment and can protect you from the wind and sun. In addition to practicality, windbreaks and privacy screens can also provide an elegant solution to elevate your exteriors.
How do I find the right outdoor windbreak or privacy screen for me?
The fabric is a fundamental element to consider when choosing a windbreak or privacy screen. So, make sure the material is suitable for outdoor use, meets your needs and is of sufficient quality to last over time.
If you are looking to purchase a privacy screen, be particularly mindful of the weight of the fabric. This is the criterion that will determine the screen’s opacity (low, medium, high, total). And opt preferably for composite materials: our Précontraint® technology ensures durable resistance against repeated manipulation and weather influences (rain, UV, wind), with no risk of tearing or warping. Additionally, composite screens are recognised for their excellent performance as thermal insulators.
What makes Soltis fabrics so special?
