When it comes to privacy in the garden, many people like to use a fence or hedge. But glass is becoming increasingly popular due to its many advantages. A wind and privacy screen made of glass offers a variety of design options and can be wonderfully integrated into the greenery of the garden. The material impresses with its insensitivity to environmental influences and is perfect for giving the garden and terrace a modern flair. In today's article we will look at the good reasons for using patio privacy screens.

Mice in the garden are an unpleasant problem for many people. But not for photographer Simon Dell. Instead of reaching for the traps, he decided to build a mini-village for the little rodents. As a thank you, the mouse family posed in front of his camera. He was out looking at the birds one day
If you have a small area, a fence or privacy screen can quickly seem cramped. Due to their extremely shallow depth, glass fences are a space-saving and effective solution for small gardens where you cannot “sacrifice” additional space for sprawling hedges or massive privacy walls. Glass impresses with its modern, light appearance, and thanks to its transparency it allows a lot of light to pass through. The fence design can be further loosened up with airy elements such as gaps between the glass and the posts.
Stable and safe construction
Wind and privacy protection elements are not made of normal glass, but of safety glass. It has special safety features and reduces the risk of injury in the event of breakage. Safety glass is characterized by extreme resilience, bending and breaking strength as well as high temperature resistance. In addition, a privacy screen can withstand any weather and wind.
Just make sure that safety glass is available as laminated safety glass (LSG for short) and single-pane safety glass (ESG for short). With laminated safety glass, two glass panels are connected to each other with an organic intermediate layer. ESG glass, on the other hand, consists of a single pane of glass that has been treated by heat. The difference is important because different safety glasses have different properties.
The glass partition can be adapted to individual needs
You can configure the wind and privacy protection made of glass according to your own wishes and the existing conditions. Would you like to cover an existing carport?

All that is needed is a soft cloth, water, a window squeegee and a mild detergent. However, you should avoid using chemical cleaning agents when cleaning frosted glass. To remove light dirt, it is sufficient to moisten a microfiber cloth and clean the glass with it. Stubborn contamination can be removed with vinegar water.
