Screens & privacy
Decorative window screens and burglar bar alternatives
Most window screening in South Africa looks like security first and architecture never. A cut panel does the same job for privacy and shade, and looks like it was meant to be there.

The work

Click any frame to open it full size. Arrow keys move between them.
Why it is built this way
Screens fit inside the reveal or stand off the face of the wall. Standing them off gives you an air gap, which makes a real difference to heat on a west elevation.
A word on security: these are decorative and shading panels. We do not sell them as, or certify them as, security barriers. If you need certified security, use a certified product and let us do the panel in front of it.
- 01
Cuts glare and heat
On a west-facing window, a screen standing proud of the glass takes the edge off an afternoon without going dark.
- 02
Privacy without net curtains
Street-facing bedrooms and bathrooms get privacy while the window still opens and still lets light through.
- 03
Matches the frames
Coated to your window colour so it reads as part of the building, not an add-on.

How this one gets made
Four steps, one workshop
- Step 01
Measure
Send the opening. Rough is fine — a photo with a tape in it beats a perfect drawing.
- Step 02
Draw
We draw your actual panel at full scale and you approve the CAD before anything is cut.
- Step 03
Cut
CNC laser cut, then powder coated or sprayed, on our own machines in Prospecton.
- Step 04
Fit
Flat-packed with fixings and a drill template, or fitted by our team or an approved installer.

Are these a security product?
No. They are decorative and shading screens. We will not describe them as burglar bars or claim any security rating. If security is the requirement, fit a certified product and we will cut a screen to sit in front of it.
Will it stop the window opening?
Not if we plan for it. Tell us which way the window opens and we will either stand the screen off far enough or split it so the opening light stays clear.
Can I get one for an odd-shaped window?
Yes. Arched, raked and circular openings are all just geometry to a CNC machine. Send a measured sketch or a photo with a tape in it.

Privacy screens
A privacy screen is a light calculation. Too closed and you get a wall; too open and you get a fence. We set the aperture so you keep the breeze and lose the neighbours.
View →Room dividers
Open plan is wonderful until you need somewhere for the front door to stop. A cut screen separates without closing — you keep the daylight and the sense of space.
View →Fence panels
Boundary walls are the biggest, dullest surface on most properties. Cut panels turn that run of face brick into the reason people slow down outside.

Tell us the opening. We’ll draw the panel.
Rough dimensions are fine — we confirm every measurement on the CAD before cutting. No obligation, and no pushy follow-up.
