How Do I Increase the Privacy of My Home?

Just because you’re friends with your neighbors doesn’t mean you want them watching every moment of your daily life. Unfortunately, most homes have not been designed with privacy in mind, so, commonly, some privacy updates need to be taken care of. But, whether you need a little privacy while you relax in the backyard or don’t want your nosy neighbors to stare at you through a window, there are many easy ways to increase your home’s privacy.

Let’s take a look at these 3 ways that can help you to maintain privacy

Add curtains, blinds, and shutters

Installing curtains and blinds inside your home is probably the simplest and cheapest way to increase your privacy. If you have lived without them for a while, your neighbors will thank you for finally putting them up. It is completely up to you whether to use curtains or blinds. You can choose the appropriate fabric or material for your windows based on how much light you want to block out. Consider installing shutters if you don’t like the look of curtains or blinds (which is why you waited so long to cover your windows). Shutters are another great option for concealing what’s going on inside while still allowing light and air into your home. 

Windows

Windows are a great way for brightening up our homes during the day, but they can make you feel exposed and vulnerable at night. In addition, some of your windows could be awkwardly placed, so blinds and curtains might not be the perfect solution for you. While you can’t really alter the placement of your windows without undertaking a major renovation, some updates can be made to the current ones. Frosting and glazing are the options that allow light to enter your room while removing visibility into the interiors. Applying a tint to your windows can be fairly inexpensive and is a great solution for any window you want privacy.

Install a wall topper

Wall toppers are great for borders, but they also help conceal what’s on the other side. A privacy wall topper is a perfect option to keep your neighbors’ eyes off your backyard activities. Be it relaxing in your hot tub on a summer afternoon or simply gardening at your leisure, and privacy fence panels let you carry out your activities in private. With so many styles to choose from, you’re bound to find something that complements your décor and provides you with a little more privacy. Please see this article for some of our favorite styles. Also, consult a fence expert about specific height requirements to ensure that your fence is tall enough to keep prying eyes out.

Many property owners appreciate the wall topper’s exquisite traditional style. If your property already has a stone block or a wall surrounding it, a wall topper can readily adapt to it, saving you the trouble of rebuilding the wall footings. Wooden wall toppers have been popular in the past, but if you’re looking for something more lasting, the Duramax vinyl wall topper is a great option. A vinyl wall topper is a decorative component mounted on top of a fence or wall to add elegance to an otherwise plain wall while boosting your property’s seclusion. Duramax vinyl fence manufacturers can personalize your wall topper to meet your needs. In addition, you can choose from a varied range of styles that toppers come in so wide that you can find the type that fits into your project easily.

Install a Trellis

While a privacy fence and shrubs may be ideal for some homeowners, others may not have the necessary space. Not everything is lost if you have limited options or space. You can install a trellis that takes up very little space while still providing privacy. It will also add natural beauty to an outdoor space, especially if you add some climbing plants to grow along with the structure. This will also help increase privacy and decrease the amount of watching your neighbors do.

Increasing your home’s privacy will give you peace of mind that your neighbors aren’t watching your every move. In addition, you’ll be able to carry out your daily activities in the privacy of your own home.

Duramax vinyl wall topper specialties

Most vinyl wall toppers are manufactured with thin vinyl sheets that can lead to cracking, sagging, and breaking of the fences. Duramax uses thicker vinyl sheets when manufacturing wall toppers that are much more durable, sturdy, and resistant to cracking, sagging, and falling over. To sustain extreme weather, Duramax Fences makes a vinyl wall topper with the DuraResin vinyl formulation. Over 12 parts of Titanium Dioxide mixed with UV inhibitors make strong wall toppers that stand the test of time. Duramax wall toppers are sturdy, weather-resistant, and capable of withstanding the harsh UV rays from the southwest sun in the USA. The vinyl wall toppers do not develop cracks in the cold or sag or warp in heat. They don’t fade over time, keeping the color intact for the longest time without the need for any repainting.

Vinyl wall toppers are much more durable than wooden wall toppers. Vinyl’s ease of maintenance is a plus point it gets from people while buying. Unlike wooden wall toppers, vinyl toppers do not fade easily and can maintain a fresh appearance for a long time. The vinyl wall toppers from Duramax Fences have withstood a 105mph wind test, and it takes a lot of struggle to break or destroy a vinyl wall topper made of pure, virgin vinyl. Duramax uses non-toxic, lead-free, and pet-friendly vinyl for manufacturing its wall toppers and fences. The wall toppers meet or exceed ASTM quality standards and are considered the highest quality and design.
