Custom Aluminium Privacy Screens
Custom Aluminium Privacy Screens for Australian Homes and Architecture
Custom aluminium privacy screens provide architects, designers, builders, developers and homeowners with a flexible way to create privacy while adding architectural detail to a building or outdoor space.
EZ Windows manufactures custom aluminium privacy screens for Australian residential, commercial and architectural projects. Screen dimensions, batten profiles, spacing, orientation, configuration and powder-coated finishes can be specified to suit the requirements of the project.
Unlike a standard off-the-shelf screen, a custom aluminium privacy screen can be developed around the actual dimensions, viewing angles, architectural design and installation requirements of the project.
Custom screening can be used for balconies, courtyards, pools, patios, outdoor entertaining areas, windows, entrances, boundaries, apartment developments and commercial façades.
EZ Windows manufactures the specified product in accordance with approved project documentation and its agreed scope of supply. Architectural design, engineering, certification, installation and regulatory compliance remain the responsibility of the appropriately appointed project professionals and responsible parties.
What Is a Custom Aluminium Privacy Screen?
A custom aluminium privacy screen is an architectural screening system manufactured to project-specific requirements rather than relying solely on standard dimensions.
A custom screen can be developed around:
- Overall width
- Overall height
- Batten profile
- Batten size
- Batten spacing
- Batten orientation
- Screen depth
- Frame configuration
- Corner conditions
- Fixing requirements
- Powder-coated finish
This makes custom aluminium screening particularly suitable for architectural projects where standard products cannot achieve the required appearance or dimensions.

- Showrooms
- Mixed-use developments
- Commercial façades
- Plant areas
- Service areas
- Entrances
Custom screens can be coordinated with the wider façade design.
Custom Architectural Aluminium Screens
A privacy screen can also function as a significant architectural element.
Architects may use custom screens to:
- Create façade depth
- Define building entrances
- Break up large elevations
- Create feature walls
- Screen services
- Create visual rhythm
- Control views
- Introduce texture
- Establish a secondary façade layer
This allows the screen to become part of the architectural composition rather than simply an added privacy product.
Custom Aluminium Batten Screens
Custom aluminium privacy screens can incorporate batten configurations including:
Vertical battens
Create a strong vertical architectural rhythm.
Horizontal battens
Create a horizontal architectural emphasis.
Angled battens
Can provide directional screening and a distinctive appearance.
Variable configurations
Different screen areas can use different configurations according to the architectural design.
Custom Screen Spacing
Spacing is one of the most important variables when designing a privacy screen.
The relationship between batten width and spacing affects:
- Visual openness
- Privacy
- Light
- Airflow
- Architectural appearance
A narrow spacing generally creates a more enclosed visual effect.
A wider spacing creates a more open appearance.
The appropriate spacing should be determined by the actual project requirements rather than applying one standard dimension to every application.
How to Design a Custom Privacy Screen
The design process should consider:
1. Purpose
Is the screen primarily intended for privacy, decoration, solar control, façade articulation or a combination?
2. Viewing angles
Identify where views need to be restricted.
3. Screen location
Determine whether the screen is attached to a building, balcony, structure or is freestanding.
4. Dimensions
Establish the overall width and height.
5. Batten configuration
Select the appropriate profile, orientation and spacing.
