Answers

Custom aluminium screening — your questions answered

What is custom aluminium screening and what is it used for?

Custom aluminium screening is made-to-measure metal screens for privacy, boundaries, courtyards, balconies, pools, facades and feature panels — batten and slat screens, laser-cut and perforated panels, fencing and gates. POBOX designs and makes aluminium screening across Australia and supplies it install-ready — fitted by your trades with our guidance, or installed by our own crew on specialist work.

Why choose aluminium for screening?

Aluminium is the go-to for screening because it is lightweight, rust-proof, low-maintenance and powder-coated in any colour — ideal for exposed, coastal and high-set locations where steel would rust and timber would weather. POBOX screens are powder-coated aluminium with coastal-grade options.

Aluminium vs steel vs timber screening?

Aluminium is lighter and rust-proof (best for most screens, balconies and coastal sites); steel and Corten suit heavy or structural screens and a weathered look; timber is warm but needs upkeep. POBOX works in all and recommends aluminium for most screening.

Can aluminium screening be custom made?

Yes — any size, batten spacing, pattern and open area, powder-coated in any colour. Screens can be batten or slat, laser-cut or perforated, freestanding or fixed. POBOX makes every screen to measure.

What aluminium screening suits privacy?

For privacy, choose a screen height tuned to seated or standing sightlines and a batten spacing or open area that blocks the view while letting light and air through. POBOX advises spacing and height for the result you want, and can integrate planting.

Is aluminium screening good for pools and coastal sites?

Yes — powder-coated aluminium is rust-proof and available in coastal-grade finishes for pools and seaside sites. Note that pool safety fencing has separate strict requirements, so a decorative screen is not a substitute for compliant pool fencing. POBOX advises the right approach.

Can aluminium screening be used as a facade or feature?

Yes — aluminium screens make striking facade cladding and feature panels with depth and shadow, in laser-cut, perforated or batten forms. POBOX fabricates facade and feature screening to the architecture.

How is aluminium screening fixed and does it handle wind?

Screens are engineered for their fixing and span and fixed to posts, frames or the structure to handle wind loads; freestanding screens are designed for stability. POBOX engineers each screen and supplies it install-ready to fix to our details, with specialist installation by our own crew where a project calls for it.

How much does custom aluminium screening cost?

Cost depends on size, pattern or open area, finish and fixing; custom screening is priced per project. Send your sizes and design to POBOX for a quote.
