Custom made screens. Where to start?

We understand that no two projects are the same. That’s why we specialise in custom metalwork, fabricating bespoke screens that are custom designed and laser cut to size.

The extensive range of designs, materials and finishes available at Lump Sculpture Studio can feel overwhelming so where do you begin when determining what’s right for your project?

First and foremost, we design with purpose. Screens have a wide range of applications, both indoors and outdoors, serving practical functions as well as purely decorative roles. With years of experience in custom metal fabrication, our skilled team integrates considered design elements that deliver both aesthetic impact and practical performance.

Privacy

When using screens as a privacy solution, it’s important to consider local building regulations. Requirements vary by state, and planning approvals are often assessed on a case-by-case basis. Our designs can be customised and certified to meet relevant privacy regulations, but we recommend confirming your obligations before proceeding.

Window Coverings

As window coverings, metal screens provide privacy while still allowing natural light to filter through. You may choose a design that becomes a feature from both inside and outside your home, or opt for a more restrained pattern that integrates seamlessly with the building façade.

Fencing

Screens can be installed as decorative overlays to conceal existing boundary fencing, or they can function independently as a fencing solution. Keep in mind that fencing regulations are clearly defined and vary depending on the type and location of the structure. Always ensure you understand and comply with local requirements before installation.

Decorative Façades

Screens can also be installed as sculptural façade elements, mounted directly onto a building exterior. These installations provide privacy while creating a bold and distinctive architectural statement.

Garden Features and Artworks

Decorative screens make compelling focal points within garden landscapes. They also provide an ideal support structure for climbing plants, which create a striking contrast against the warm tones and textured surface of naturally weathered Corten steel.

Lump Sculpture Studio has the expertise and capability to fabricate your custom-made screen. The key is to begin with the right intention — selecting the appropriate design for its purpose and understanding any regulatory requirements if the screen serves more than a purely decorative function.
