Adding Home Privacy Solutions During COVID-19

Remodeling magazine recently reported on a LightStream home improvement survey related to homeowners. Conducted in May of this year, the study reports that 73% of homeowners still plan to renovate their homes this year --- despite coronavirus restrictions and concerns.

As the study reports, homeowners are placing a higher value in privacy within their home as a results of COVID-19. People now working at home or schooling children at home feel they need more private spaces within their house to feel better. Also, nearly two-thirds of people responding to the survey say they are embarrassed by part of their living spaces when making video calls from home.

What's the cost-effective answer? Acrylic block privacy solutions.

Solution #1: Barn-Lite Doors
Ideal for adding privacy options in the home, Barn-Lite doors are available in Wave and Glacier acrylic blocks. Each block is 9" by 9", with a depth of 1.5". Architectural-grade vinyl frames surrounding the units are available in both white and bronze. The Barn-Lite doors are supported by durable steel hardware overhead in a black satin color.

Large rooms can easily be separated into two smaller rooms by simply sliding the Barn-Lite Door. You gain instant privacy while light still flows into the room. A sensible, space-saving solution, Barn-Lite doors also add elegance to your home.

Solution #2 - Acrylic Block Rolling Privacy Panels
These portable privacy panels are made of architectural-grade acrylic blocks that allow light to flow through, while protecting your privacy. The Rolling Privacy Panels can be easily sanitized, making them ideal for a wide variety of locations in the home to increase social distancing restrictions.

The lightweight, movable panels can help create a children's play space, a home office or to temporarily separate different areas of the home. They can also be used to help "hide" living spaces when making video calls.


The panel of acrylic blocks is secured to a heavy-duty welded metal black base. The base features a set of four two-inch casters, each with a locking mechanism to ensure the panel remains in place until moving is desired. And, you have the choice of Wave, Glacier or Cross Rib acrylic block styles.

Solution #3 - Acrylic Block Interior Wall Kits
Make a permanent privacy solution in your home (or office) space. Lightweight and completely prefabricated, Hy-Lite's Interior Wall Systems create decorative privacy anywhere in the home without the need for structural reinforcements often required by true glass blocks.

Acrylic Block Wall Systems can be installed as room dividers, shower enclosures,
interior accent pieces and more. Best of all, installation is a breeze with Hy-Lite's snap-on installation accessories.

Interior walls and divider panels are suitable for residential spaces including shower surrounds and room dividers, as well as in commercial spaces such as hospitals, clinics, hotels, restaurants, and offices to achieve privacy or social distancing.
