Decorative stainless steel screens have become more and more popular
as people have decided to use them as additions to their fences or
rendered walls around their home or property. These screens are often
used for safety and privacy reasons, while also bringing extra security
advantages in the process. In recent times, there has been a shift
towards steel screens over using garden fences for the reasons listed
above. While some steel screens can be very ugly or unattractive, you
will find decorative stainless steel screens a breath of fresh air, as
they can add a new dimension to your garden or driveway.

Using
stainless in landscaping products provides warm rich textures not
always associated with metal. There is now a large range of decorative
screens that can be installed as freestanding privacy screens or
floating screens. These screens can be fixed to a wall using spacers
& screws to make a usually bland wall an attractive garden feature.
Screens can be cut from stainless steel, Stainless Steel or power coated
Aluminum and then come with standard sizes of 2400mm x 1200mm or 1200mm
x 800mm. There are also companies that can create custom sizes to suit
your garden or driveway space. You can find such companies and then
choose from their range or ask them to work with you or your designer to
create a custom design that will complement your home.
Many
people now decide to have a designer create their decorative stainless
steel screens as part of a landscaping job. This means that the screens
can be built into the overall garden design and ensures that they blend
gracefully with the rest of the garden. There are additions that can be
made to the steel screens, such as adding vines and other objects, which
also give that natural feel and remove the steel look, which used to be
common. Many people also like to use screens with various motifs on
them to tie in with exterior themes, colors and designs.
stainless
is a structural material that was first designed to be used in shipping
containers and contains a rusty finish. The rust that appears on
stainless creates a protective barrier so the material underneath will
not decline over time. It is worth noting that there is a big difference
between mild steel and stainless. Many people who use these decorative
steel screens don't know that the natural rusted finish on stainless is
real rust. As such, it will leave a stain if exposed to the elements. So
keep this in mind if you are going to position the screen close to
other materials that it could damage with rust stains. This is very
important to consider if you were planning on having a screen near pale
colored walls or tiles.
Some of the most popular designs are
botanical styles, such as bracken and other plant life. Many of these
forms of decoration fit very well with a landscaped garden, especially
when using a forestry style. Decorative stainless steel screens
highlight the great symmetry of branches and leaves when they are seen
in isolation, which is in contrast to the ground cover seen in forests
and some gardens. This is a useful design to use and implement in your
own garden.
You can find decorative stainless steel screens in a
range of finishes, and there are designers that can bring you
differences in light intensity, such as those found in the forest. You
can also find screens in many different sizes to suit your needs and to
ensure you get the landscape features that you really want.
