Questions and answers about privacy screen strips

privacy screen strips are interlocked in horizontal rows of a twin-wire mesh fence. They reduce transparency and enable different colors, structures and patterns.

Most zaun|zu® strips are intended for commercial twin-wire mesh panels. Decisive are the free row height and the details of the specific product.

The numbers indicate the diameter of the horizontal and vertical bars in millimetres. They do not indicate the required height of the privacy screen strips.

A suitable twin-wire mesh fence can usually be fitted afterwards. Condition, attachment and the additional wind stress should be checked beforehand.

The key factors are the clear row height, the fence-panel width and the strip system you choose. Formats around 190 mm are common for classic twin-wire mesh panels; zaun|zu® also offers various partial and special formats. Before choosing, compare the dimensions of your existing fence with the specifications of the relevant product.

For a classic row, the standard format of around 190 mm is common. There are also HALBE at around 95 mm, DRITTEL at around 63 mm, VIERTEL at around 47 mm and MAXI at around 240 mm. Not every size suits every installation or is available in every product family, so compare the row height with the product specifications.

Closed privacy screen strips can greatly reduce visibility through the fence. The actual level of privacy depends on factors such as material, surface, colour, weaving pattern, gaps and product type. GELOCHT is intentionally more open in appearance than fully closed strips, so a blanket claim of 100 percent opacity would not be appropriate.

The amount results from occupied rows, cutting length per field and number of fields. The privacy screen strips calculator supports the planning.

Multiply the number of rows occupied with the cutting length per field and the number of the same fields. Gates, corners and shortened fields must be taken into account separately.

Count the horizontal spaces that are actually to be occupied. The number of rows depends on mat height and construction.

Compare the calculated total length and planned cuts with the roll lengths of the specific product. Different field widths can influence the use of a roll.

The necessary addition depends on field measurement, completion and product. The zaun|zu® calculator takes 5 cm into account as a planning aid per strip; before cutting the actual dimensions must be checked.

Individual strips are pre-cut to a specific length. Rolls allow flexible cutting and can be useful for several fence panels or differing panel dimensions. Which option is more suitable depends on the fence dimensions, product and planning; neither rolls nor individual strips are inherently better, cheaper or higher quality.

Take the strip alternately in front of and behind the vertical bars through a horizontal row. Avoid kinks and secure the ends according to product and assembly instructions.

Whether clips are provided or recommended depends on the product and installation situation. Use only the appropriate fixtures for the selected system.

Many strips can be cut with suitable tool. Note material, cutting edge and the particulars of the specific product.

In addition to even rows, offset rhythms and combinations of partial formats are possible. Format, braiding rhythm and secure completion must fit together.

Yes, colors can be combined in series or within a series. Check the available colors and plan the rhythm before mounting.

Half, third and quarter share an approximately 190 mm high row. The selected part heights, the braid rhythm and the fastening must fit together.

Many systems can be woven into suitable twin-wire mesh panels without specialist machinery. Accurate measuring, clean cutting, the correct weaving method and securing the ends in accordance with the relevant product instructions are important.

Depending on the product family, the product range includes polypropylene strips and textile nonwoven solutions made of PET. Material, strength and assembly instructions stand on the concrete product.

PP strips are shape-stable plastic strips with product-dependent surfaces. Design fleece has a textile appearance; processing and fastening may differ.

PREMIUM looks smooth and restrained, RILLE has a visible longitudinal structure. Technical data and available colors are to be compared for the concrete design.

RATTAN refers to a zaun|zu® product family with braided optics. For material, dimensions, care and warranty, the details of the concrete execution are decisive.

The range includes 190 mm standard height, HALBE with about 95 mm, DRITTEL with about 63 mm, VIERTEL with about 47 mm and MAXI with about 240 mm. Availability depends on the product family.

A row approximately 190 mm high can be filled with one full strip, two HALBE strips, three DRITTEL strips or four VIERTEL strips. Suitable combinations such as VIERTEL–HALBE–VIERTEL are also possible.

Narrower stripes form a row or set a color accent. They are combined with other formats to match the row division.

GELOCHT combines graphical perforations with the strip surface. The partially open effect depends on the perforation image and the environment.

Individual motifs and labels can be checked depending on the material, quantity and technical release. There is no flat-rate availability for all markets.

Yes, provided the row division, format and fastening method are compatible. Possible layouts for a row around 190 mm high include two HALBE, three DRITTEL, four VIERTEL or the combination VIERTEL–HALBE–VIERTEL. The available formats and instructions for the relevant product remain decisive.

For the relevant zaun|zu® product families, UV resistance or defined colour-stability claims are among the stated product properties. Their scope, conditions and any warranty are product-specific; there is no blanket warranty for the entire range.

Gently remove loose dirt and select suitable aids for the material. Aggressive chemicals and scrubbing tools can damage surfaces.

privacy screening changes the wind attack area of the fence. Fence, posts, foundations and fortifications must be suitable for the site; there is no general storm guarantee.

External influences such as hail, storm, shock or vandalism can cause damage. They are not covered by a product guarantee; the concrete explanation is decisive.

PREMIUM, RILLE, DELUX/DELUX-R and directional arrows have 5 years of guaranteed colour fastness. Nonwoven/Design Nonwoven, RATTAN and accessories have a 2-year warranty. The scope, conditions and exclusions in the warranty statement for the specific product apply.

No. A voluntary product guarantee is based on its declaration and must be distinguished from statutory warranty rights. Scope and exclusions must be considered separately.
