Light Wood Composite Privacy Screening in Laval

Project Context

Completed in 2023 in Laval for a client landscaper, this project aims to protect a residential garden while ensuring a contemporary and warm line. The main objective focuses on blocking views from property backs, with a consistent rendering that matches a well-maintained lawn and subtle lighting. The project integrates with an existing rigid fence, for which a durable and visually controlled composite solution was chosen.

Solution Implemented

The choice was made for the Ultimate Privacy Kit® – Straight Installation from the Redcinha® range, compatible with rigid panels with 10 cm reinforcement fold (not compatible with 20 cm) and designed for quick implementation. The factory pre-assembled inserts ensure alignment and allow for a tool-free, accessory-free installation, limiting intervention time per section. The solid slats, with a brushed effect and mass-colored, ensure a 95% privacy rate and stable colorimetry.

Key features utilized in this project:

• Solid slats of 4 mm thickness, light wood finish for a natural and homogeneous appearance.
• Pre-assembled inserts ensuring a regular straight installation and a constant spacing in the panel.
• Aluminum finishing profiles, contributing to the edge rigidity and the longevity of the section.
• UV-resistant material, frost and hail resistant, rot-proof, with maintenance possible using a high-pressure cleaner (minimum distance 1 m).
• Compatibility with panels having horizontal wire ≥ 5 mm recommended, and 10 cm reinforcement fold.
• 10-year warranty indicated on the kit.

The light wood shade was chosen to bring warmth to the structure while contrasting with the dark metallic framework of the rigid fence. An anti-theft kit is available as an option for the solution, depending on the client's needs.

Implementation and Result

The installation was carried out section by section, after checking the straightness of the posts and the level of the beams. The slats were inserted sequentially in straight installation, with the pre-assembled inserts guiding the assembly and limiting adjustment operations. The aluminum profiles were positioned in butt-joint for a clean upper line and protected lower finish. A functional gap was respected to control the thermal expansion of the composite elements.

The project photos show a light wood matrix perfectly uniform, rhythmically accented by the horizontal wires of the grid. The posts and metal sheets in dark shade underscore the linearity of the entirety and enhance the contrast with the slats. At the base, a mineral bed and a vegetated border structure the planting strip; a ground lighting at constant intervals highlights the privacy at dusk and emphasizes the brushed effect texture of the slats. The precise alignment of the spotlights and the flatness of the sections reflect a meticulous execution.

The result combines intimacy and aesthetic coherence: the rigid fence gains opacity without heavyening the garden's perspective. The light wood aspect unifies the side facade and coordinates with the surrounding architecture, while the composite and aluminum components ensure durability, requiring minimal maintenance. The entire setup delivers effective privacy and a contemporary rendering, meeting the expectations of landscape professionals on demanding residential projects.
