Choosing an aluminium fence is more than a styling decision. The right system protects your home, controls privacy, handles wind loads, and ages gracefully for decades with almost zero maintenance. This guide walks through the five questions that matter most — and how each ALUVISTA fence series answers them.
1. How much privacy do you actually want?
Privacy is the first lens. A full-panel fence (ALUVISTA Series A) blocks both views and most wind — ideal for street-facing front yards or pool perimeters where complete enclosure matters. A vertical picket fence (D-Line) defines a boundary while keeping the property visually open — better for garden frontage on quiet streets.
Louver fences sit between these two. The S Series (curved) and Y Series (angled) give you adjustable visual privacy without killing airflow or natural light, which makes them popular for terraces and pool surrounds.
2. What's the right height?
In Bulgaria the typical residential front fence is 1.2–1.6 m; rear and side boundaries usually sit at 1.8–2.0 m for full privacy. Pool fencing has its own safety rules — verify the local code, but 1.2 m is the common minimum.
ALUVISTA fences are available from 1.0 m up to 2.2 m as a standard, with custom heights on request. Going taller? Wind load grows quickly — speak with us about post spacing and reinforced profiles before locking in the design.
3. Which finish ages best?
All ALUVISTA fences are powder-coated in the full RAL palette over high-grade extruded aluminium. Powder coating bonds to the metal and resists UV, salt and impact far better than wet paint — it's the reason coastal installations carry a 10-year coating warranty even in salt air.
Matte and satin finishes hide dust and water spots better than gloss. Darker colours show heat distortion less in winter snow contrast; lighter colours run cooler in summer. Anodised finishes are an option on request for a metallic, factory-fresh look.
4. Will it handle local wind loads?
Solid panels catch more wind than picket or louver designs. On exposed sites — hilltops, open countryside, coastal frontage — we typically spec deeper post profiles and reduce spacing to keep deflection in spec. ALUVISTA engineers each project against EN load codes for the installation address.
If you're set on a full-panel look on an exposed site, the K Series automated gate uses the same visual language but is engineered for daily motorised use under load.
5. Gates — manual, sliding or swing?
Match the gate to the driveway. Narrow approaches favour sliding gates (no swing arc on the street); wide rural plots are fine with double-leaf swing gates. The K Series covers all three — manual swing, automatic sliding, and double-leaf — in the same design language as the surrounding fence.
If you're planning ahead, run the smart-lock and intercom conduit during fence installation. Retrofitting later is possible but costs more.
