Kerb Appeal in 2026: Modernising Your Business Frontage for the New Year

As home and hybrid working become more common in the UK, a permanent shift in residential design has started taking shape. In the modern working world, there are growing expectations for dedicated working areas within homes. Consequently, developers and specifiers are increasingly turning to solutions that balance light, openness, zoning and privacy. While that may sound like a challenge for a single internal system, BDC Aluminium offers a clear solution: internal aluminium screens - a practical, specification-ready option. Defining Workspaces with Glass Specifiers are often challenged when zoning open-plan homes without reducing natural light flow, which highlights the biggest limitation of a solid wall in modern layouts. Solid walls completely block out light, leading to dark and gloomy rooms inside buildings. Aluminium-framed glass partitions, on the other hand, maintain light flow while creating both visual and functional separation. These partitions will improve productivity, creating dedicated, focused areas suitable for home office conversion. Most often, you’ll find aluminium internal screens in open-plan living spaces, extensions and garden rooms. Modern Design with Heritage Influence Minimal, architectural interiors studded with heritage detailing look set to trend upwards in 2026. Slim aluminium profiles are the best way to execute such a design vision. Aluminium internal screening offers slim, clean sightlines and a steel-look without the frequent maintenance traditional systems require. Suitable for period refurbishments and contemporary residential projects, our internal screens are flexible in specification. Choices on profile style, colours, and finish options allow you to tailor them to your build's needs. Acoustic Privacy in Open-Plan Layouts Beyond physical partitioning, reduced noise transfer is an important feature when zoning an interior. Despite their slim frames and expansive glazing, internal aluminium screens help reduce noise transfer effectively, creating a zone more comfortable and relaxed. A Specification-Ready Solution for 2026 Internal aluminium screening supports the demand for private working environments in open-plan properties. By delivering zoning, light retention and acoustic control in one solution, BDC Aluminium meets modern residential requirements.
