Why choose fixed down over free-standing or mobile screens?
Bolted down to the ground or wall, fixed down windbreaks provide maximum stability and wind resistance, tested to meet wind-load and collision standards.
- The strongest wind and noise protection of any option in the range
- No risk of a screen shifting or needing repositioning in exposed conditions
- Suited to demanding sites—coastal, very windy, or high-footfall locations
- A long-term investment for a terrace that isn’t changing shape or location anytime soon
- Certified performance: Panorama alone is tested to 120kg/m² at 150km/h
- No moving parts to maintain beyond the glass and frame itself
- Available in the same finishes, glazing options and accessories as the mobile range
Terrace Screens & Windbreaks for coastal or windy locations
Some terraces are located in highly exposed, windy or coastal locations and require a permanent screen or windbreak solution. A fixed terrace screen gives you the strongest wind resistance and stability of any option in our range, secured directly to the ground or wall rather than relying on a weighted base. For a terrace that’s staying exactly where it is for years to come or is vulnerable to strong winds, fixed is usually the right call.

How to Choose the Right Terrace Screen
- 1
Permanence: fixed installations suit a settled terrace; free-standing or mobile screens suit seasonal use or sites that need to reconfigure.
- 2
Visibility: clear glass keeps sightlines open; opaque or smoked glass adds privacy and softens an exposed site.
- 3
Wind exposure: standard aluminium bases suit most sites; stainless steel bases are available for coastal or very windy locations.
- 4
Extras: lighting, planters, menu boards and eco-friendly weathersafe heating can all be built into the design from the start rather than added later.
- 5
Planning: most Terrazzo screens don’t require planning permission, but check with your local authority if your site is in a conservation area or has specific restrictions.
Frequently asked questions
Is a fixed down screen more weatherproof than a mobile one?
While both use the same safety glass and materials, a fixed, ground-secured installation offers greater stability in extreme wind, which is why our most demanding wind-load certifications (Panorama) are fixed-only.
Can I add planters, lighting or heating to a fixed down screen?
Yes, the same accessory options (lighting, planters, menu boards, eco-friendly weathersafe heating) are available on fixed down installations as on free-standing and mobile ones.
Does a fixed down screen need planning permission?
Usually not, though this is more likely to depend on your local authority than with a free-standing screen, since it involves fixing to the ground or building. Check with your local planning office if you’re unsure.
What happens if I need to move a fixed down screen later?
Fixed down screens are designed for permanence and aren’t intended to be relocated. If there’s a chance your layout will need to change, a free-standing or mobile option may be the better starting point.
