WHY LEARN ABOUT PRIVACY FENCE SCREENS?

Anyone who has used it knows the convenience that a privacy fence screen can bring to home life. It is easy to install, can block wind and rain, can shield the neighbors from peeping year after year, and protects the tranquility of home life.

Standard privacy fence screens need to meet some definite metrics. As with any commodity, these are things to fully understand before buying. This guide is designed to give you some basic knowledge about privacy fence screens, as well as the standards of mainstream privacy fence screens so that you can make a more informed purchase.

 

WHAT KIND OF FENCE SCREEN IS A STANDARD PRIVACY FENCE SCREEN?

If it is only the results, as long as the owner feels that there is enough visibility blocking and can maintain a service life of more than 3 years, it is enough to be called a privacy fence. The reality is that many standard fence screens don't provide enough visibility blocking and crack after a few months of use. This situation is not an isolated case, so it has caused dissatisfaction among many people who do not know the truth, and it is only a matter of seeing.

Purchasing products is a process of selecting the best from the best, and it is not advisable to buy blindly. To enhance persuasiveness, we will take the sunny guard privacy fence screen as an example, explain to you the parameters of the material, and analyze it from other angles. You'll have a better idea of what's standard with a quality product like Sunny Guard privacy fence screens.

  1. Shading rate and visibility blocking determine the level of privacy protection

The mainstream material of our daily fence screens is HPDE, and some products are made of PP, PVC, and PES. They are inexpensive, easy to use, and food safe, and are all environmentally friendly materials. UV-stabilized versions of both HPDE and PP offer better UV resistance, although both are less resistant to UV (ultraviolet) light.

Take the sunny guard privacy fence screen as an example, using 160GSM commercial grade knitted HDPE material, which can provide a 90% shading rate and visibility blocking, which can meet the privacy needs of most families and businesses.

 

  1. Physical properties determine the stability and applicability of the product

HPDE has a better strength-to-weight ratio and high flexibility, it is more difficult to be torn and damaged, and it plays more stable. Excellent breathability and strong windproof effect also make it more adaptable than other materials, standing out among many materials.

 

  1. Chemical properties determine product functionality and service life

The service life of a product depends mainly on the chemical properties of the material. HPDE is resistant to dilute and concentrated acids such as hydrochloric acid, as well as some reducing and oxidizing agents. After special processing, combined with the toughness of HPDE, the durability of the privacy fence screen is guaranteed, and this time is usually 3-5 years.

The HPDE material also has a certain degree of hygroscopicity. Although it is not as good as the special waterproof privacy fence screen made of polyester (PES), it is much better than PP and other materials. Applicability is also much better.

 

Privacy

Product selection is the result of a two-way rush. For the privacy fence screen, the privacy factor is the most important point where customers and products agree with each other.

We hope to protect everyone's privacy, so our positioning of the Sunny Guard privacy fence screen is to have both excellent privacy protection and good decorative effects. It is best used in domestic apartments, patios, porches, patios, balconies and more.

It may not require high visibility blocking, but it must have a shading rate of more than 80% and a certain degree of protection.

Looking upwards, as a fence screen for a home fence or a construction site, heavy-duty products of 180GSM and above are required to achieve a barrier rate of more than 95%. Because of the need for stronger wind resistance and better shading.
