External screens

About

Protecting your privacy and comfort

Bay windows create homes that are bathed in sunlight, with full length glass walls open to the outside world. Although they may be a stunning feature in your home, this can often cause issues. External screens act as solar filters while simultaneously protecting you from prying eyes. This lets you enjoy all the advantages of your beautiful bay window, with none of the drawbacks.
