Our patio windbreak screens
Which windbreak screens are right for your patio?
A patio windbreak screen is chosen with the seating area and wind direction in mind. You want more comfort without unnecessarily losing access or the view. STERK therefore considers the layout, surface and desired height, and discusses a model suited to how you use your patio day to day.
Maintenance and lifespan of patio windbreak screens
Keep the screen and surrounding walkways clean and clear of obstacles. Clean the material according to the instructions and check for visible damage. With movable or sliding models, the feet and guides need extra attention. Have a loose or damaged screen assessed before continuing to use it.
Warranty and service for patio windbreak screens
STERK discusses the warranty terms for the chosen windbreak screen and agreed installation in advance. You have a personal point of contact for questions about use, adjustment or service. Keep the quote and product details so the arrangements for your model are easy to find.
Frequently asked questions about patio windbreak screens
Where should I place a windbreak screen on my patio?
Start with the side exposed to the wind and where you usually sit. Walkways, doors and the surface also matter. STERK looks at the layout as a whole so that the screen provides shelter while keeping the patio practical to use.
Which options can I compare?
Our overview of windbreak screens covers different ways to create shelter. The right choice depends on whether the installation is fixed or flexible, the material and the height you want. We advise you based on your situation, not just on an attractive photo.
Does a screen need to enclose the entire patio?
Not necessarily. A targeted screen near the seating area may work better than putting screens everywhere. The wind direction and how you use the patio determine which sides need attention. STERK discusses how to provide shelter while retaining enough open space and access.
Can I move the screen away when I do not need shelter?
A retractable windbreak screen may be suitable. The fixings and retracted position must fit the patio. We consider where the screen will be used and whether you can use the outdoor space as you wish once it has been retracted.
What if my patio has an uneven surface?
Have the installation assessed first. A screen must suit the surface and chosen fixings. STERK checks what preparation may be needed and records it in the proposal, so you do not discover during installation that the setup needs to change.
Can I combine shelter with an open view?
You can explore this combination with glass windbreak screens. The appearance depends on the glass, profiles and height. We consider how the screen looks from the seating area and adapt the layout to your patio, garden or balcony.
Can the screen be tailored to my seating area?
For a specific layout, we look at made-to-measure windbreak screens. This involves the width, height and positioning within the limits of the system. STERK measures the space and discusses how the solution can work with your furniture and clear walkway.
When is it better not to use the screen?
That depends on the model and conditions on your patio. Follow the stated limits for wind and use. A screen that is damaged or has unclear fixings should be assessed first. STERK explains how to use it at handover.
