Flexible screening and windbreak solutions for venues that require flexibility
Not every terrace is suitable (or even permitted to) install permanent terrace screens and windbreaks. And not every venue wants to. Free-standing and mobile screens give you full flexibility: reposition them to follow the sun or block a change in wind direction, clear the space entirely for an event, or scale up gradually rather than fixing your whole layout in one go. No groundworks, no fixing to the building.
Why choose free-standing or mobile over a fixed screen?
- No fixing to the ground or building required, making them ideal for leased premises or sites where permanent alterations aren’t an option
- Lockable castors mean screens can be repositioned in minutes, allowing on-the-fly movement with no pre-planning needed
- Scale up or reconfigure gradually as your outdoor space or business needs change
- Just as effective at blocking wind and street noise as a fixed installation

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
Do free-standing screens offer the same protection as fixed ones?
Yes, free-standing and mobile screens use the same safety glass and construction as fixed installations, providing the same level of protection and privacy. The difference is the base, not the level of protection.
Can mobile screens be left outside permanently, or do they need to be stored?
Mobile terrace screens are built for constant outdoor use and can be left outside, but the ability to store or reposition them is there if your site needs the flexibility.
Do I need planning permission for a free-standing screen?
No, planning permission is generally not required for mobile terrace screens. Free-standing structures are generally treated more leniently than fixed building work, though it’s worth checking with your local authority if you’re in a conservation area.
Can I upgrade from a mobile setup to a fixed one later?
In many cases, yes, you can upgrade your terrace screens and windbreaks from mobile to fixed. Several of our ranges (Roma Elegance, StarUp&Down, Total Vision) are available in both configurations, so talk to us before assuming you need to start from scratch.
