Where this system fits
Slatted or perforated panels visually define a zone while allowing some light through. Assess sightlines at the angle most people will approach from, as the apparent privacy changes with the viewing angle.
Decorative Room Screens
Discuss timber slats, solid wood or laminate panels and perforated screens for receptions, lobbies and dining areas.
What to check on site
Compare finishes beside the existing floor and furniture. Confirm where the screen is anchored, which side needs a finished face, and how the screen will be cleaned.
What to send for pricing
Send the opening size, example finish and the view you want to soften or conceal. Mention humidity, frequent cleaning or customer traffic.
Test openness from the places people walk and sit
- A slatted screen may look more closed when viewed at an angle. Check the spacing and orientation against entry and seating positions. Where a screen divides a reception from a workstation, compare the view in bright daylight and with lights on behind it.
- Specify who approves the floor and ceiling fixings, how the finish will be cleaned, and which sides visitors can touch. Get a sample showing the actual colour, edges and surface finish before ordering a long run of panels.

Common question
Can the screen let light through while shielding a reception desk?
Yes, consider slat angle, spacing and position. A small elevation or sample can show how the screen reads from the entrance and from nearby seats.
