Frequently Asked Questions

Ask A Question
  • Are cyclone-rated structures really necessary for outdoor areas?

    Yes, cyclone-rated structures are essential for areas prone to strong winds, heavy rain and unpredictable weather. These designs go beyond basic construction by incorporating reinforced frameworks, wind-resistant materials and secure fixing methods to help reduce the risk of damage during extreme conditions. Whether you’re building a patio, deck or carport, cyclone-rated options ensure compliance with building standards and offer peace of mind. They also protect your investment by extending the lifespan of the structure. Even for homes in less storm-prone regions, using cyclone-rated features adds an extra level of safety, especially as weather patterns become more intense due to climate change.

  • What’s the difference between louvres and privacy screens?

    Louvres and privacy screens both enhance comfort and privacy, but they serve slightly different purposes. Louvres feature angled slats that allow air to flow while blocking direct sun or visibility. They can be fixed or adjustable and are excellent for promoting ventilation in enclosed areas. Privacy screens are usually flat panels designed to block sightlines and provide shade. These may include decorative cut-outs, timber slats or solid finishes. Louvres are ideal when airflow is a priority, while screens are more suitable for visual separation or sun protection. Both can be used together for a balanced solution that offers style, privacy and comfort.

  • Do privacy screens and louvres require a lot of maintenance?

    Privacy screens and louvres are generally low maintenance, especially when built with durable, weather-resistant materials. Aluminium and powder-coated steel are excellent options, as they don’t rust or fade easily and require little more than occasional cleaning. Timber screens may need periodic sealing or staining to maintain their appearance and protect against moisture or UV damage. Adjustable louvres with moving parts might require light lubrication from time to time to keep mechanisms working smoothly. Overall, these features are designed for outdoor use and built to last, making them an easy, stylish addition to outdoor spaces with minimal upkeep required.
