Privacy fence systems: Privacy and architectural design

A privacy fence primarily serves to demarcate private or commercial properties from external views. Unlike natural vegetation, constructed privacy screens offer ayear-round protection...which retains its full functionality even during the winter months. Kirchberger Metall's systems also act as an effective barrier against wind and noise. The combination of various materials allows these fences to be seamlessly integrated into modern architectural designs and significantly enhances the quality of outdoor spaces.

Material specifications: Aluminum, WPC and larch wood

The choice of infill material determines the technical durability and maintenance requirements of the fence system. Depending on the desired aesthetic, various materials are available:

  • Aluminum:Aluminum profiles are characterized by their low weight and high structural strength. Powder coating in RAL colors makes them corrosion-free, UV-resistant, and extremely easy to clean. Aluminum offers a modern, technical, and understated look.
  • WPC (Wood-Plastic Composite):This wood-plastic composite material combines the natural look of wood with the durability of polymers. WPC infills are maintenance-free, as they require neither painting nor oiling, and exhibit high resistance to moisture and insect infestation.
  • Larch wood:Larch is among the hardest and most durable softwoods. Due to its high resin content, larch wood possesses natural resistance to weathering. Without surface treatment, the wood develops a silvery-grey patina over time, which emphasizes the natural character of the fence.

Modular construction and combination options

The privacy screen system is based on a flexible modular principle. The sturdy post profiles allow for the use of various infill materials, enabling the realization of individual design concepts. For example, aluminum can be combined with glass elements or wood to break up the visual mass of the fence and to selectively control the amount of light entering the room. The profiles are designed to guarantee high wind load resistance while simultaneously ensuring the seamless integration of the infill materials.

Design details and assembly options

The privacy fences can be precisely tailored to the topography of the property thanks to variable height and length specifications. The fence elements are attached using a modular post system that allows for various installation methods.

  • Floor mounting:Anchoring can be achieved by embedding the posts in concrete or by bolting them down using statically dimensioned base plates.
  • Wall and pillar connection:Integration into existing building structures such as masonry or concrete pillars is technically possible without any problems thanks to appropriate connection profiles.
  • Leveling:The system allows for the compensation of uneven ground to ensure an exact horizontal alignment of the top edge.

System expansion and professional self-assembly

To ensure a uniform appearance of the property boundary, suitable privacy screen systems are required for all privacy screen systems.Privacy doors and privacy gatesAvailable. The individual components are pre-designed for efficient self-assembly. Since the requirements for the fastening material (anchors, screws) depend heavily on the nature of the substrate, this can be selected separately as needed. Comprehensive technical documentation supports precise installation of the system components.
