We knew it. And now it's been proven. Homeowners really DO want more privacy inside and outside their homes.
A recent consumer survey by John Burns Real Estate Consulting shows that homeowners are concerned about a lack of privacy in their living spaces. What did they find out specifically? Young families are the most concerned about privacy in the homes.
The good news is that we can help.
Hy-Lite to the Privacy Rescue
If you're working with a builder to construct your new home, take a beat to stop and think about where privacy matters most to you. Make sure to request privacy windows in key areas: bathrooms, laundry rooms and hallways. Plus, look at the footprint of your new home. If the design calls for a window over the kitchen sink that gives you the view of a driveway and garbage cans, here's a great location to add a privacy window.
Even if you live in a cherished older home, or you're purchasing an existing home, you can still get privacy. Contractors, remodelers and very handy DIYers can replace a clear glass window already in place with a privacy window. Shop online for windows made of acrylic block, those with silkscreened designs or decorative glass windows.
Carving Out Privacy
Within your home, if you need to separate out space for a home office, gym or craft area, we can help there, too. Our acrylic block interior wall kits come in both flat and radius styles. You can determine how high and wide you'd like to make the separation walls to carve out privacy within your home. Can't decide? Then our Acrylic Block Rolling Privacy Panels are for you! Easy-to-maneuver panels on wheels let you simply roll in privacy. You can create temporary privacy in the home (like a homework area for kids or a quick private business call) with these panels. Instantly you've created the short-term privacy you desire.
