Black Privacy Screen in Longueuil, QC

Chambly Road

Project presentation

Longueuil’s residential neighborhoods may be prized for their greenery and tranquility, but living close to neighbors remains a daily reality. On Chemin de Chambly, as throughout the area, homeowners are increasingly seeking outdoor design solutions that combine privacy, aesthetics, and maintenance-free durability. The Black Privacy Screen from Aluminium Distinction meets all three of these requirements perfectly.

This 2023 project in Longueuil stands out for its scale: 23 photos showcase a large-scale installation that spans several areas of the property. The panels, featuring horizontal slats made of black powder-coated aluminum, have transformed a terrace that was previously exposed to public view into a private, modern, and elegant outdoor living space.

The matte black finish chosen for this project creates a striking contrast with the surrounding vegetation and adds a decidedly contemporary architectural touch, perfectly in line with current trends in Quebec residential design.

Project features

Matte Black — An Architectural Statement

Matte black is the most popular color for the Privacy screen in urban settings. Its bold character and lack of distracting glare make it the top choice for homeowners who want a polished and distinctive exterior. In natural light, the black panels offer a visual depth that elevates the entire design.

Horizontal slats designed for privacy

The horizontal slats of the Privacy screen are positioned to block diagonal lines of sight—where unwanted views from neighbors most often occur. The spacing between the slats is optimized to allow air and light to circulate freely without compromising visual privacy.

Large covered area — 23 documented photos

The scale of this project—documented in 23 photos—shows an installation that covers a large area of the property. This scale underscores Aluminium Distinction’s ability to carry out large-scale residential projects with the same rigor and attention to detail as it does for smaller installations.

Powder-coated aluminum — zero maintenance in urban environments

In urban settings, outdoor surfaces quickly accumulate dirt, exhaust fumes, and air pollution. The powder-coated aluminum of the Privacy screen is easy to clean with water and resistant to common chemicals—a significant advantage for homeowners in Longueuil.

Enhanced structural strength

For a large-scale installation, the structure must be reinforced accordingly. The posts of the Privacy screen are anchored deep into concrete footings designed to withstand crosswinds, particularly during the winter storms that sweep across the South Shore.

Results

The Longueuil terrace is now shielded from view and adorned with a highly elegant matte black architectural screen. The owner has regained his outdoor privacy without sacrificing the openness and brightness of his patio—which is exactly what the Distinction Aluminum Privacy Screen promises.
