Featured Design Element: Slatted Exterior Walls

Share

What is it about thin rails of wood or metal that allow both a measure of privacy and tantalizing peeks into the outside world? One part ?trapped behind bars? and one part ?hidden away in a tower,? the dichotomy of feelings that slatted exteriors walls can elicit is exciting and varied.

Showing up more and more on modern homes where tight urban and suburban surroundings means homeowners need a little physical division, slatted exterior walls are important because they eliminate the need for tall, unsightly fences. If good fences make good neighbors, then slatted exterior walls make fabulous roommates.
