Orca Chief

Dive into the enchanting tale of "Orca Chief," an evocative privacy screen by Indigenous Kwakwak'wakw artist Brent Smith from Cape Mudge. In the rich cultural traditions of many Vancouver Island Indigenous Nations, it is believed that when you spot an orca offshore, it is a lost loved one or a revered chief reaching out to communicate from the spirit world. This profound belief evokes a sense of connection and continuity, bridging the gap between the past and present, the living and the departed. The orca, or killer whale, symbolizes power, unity, and protection, embodying the strength and bonds of family and community.

Key Features:

Durable Design:
Crafted from high-quality 10mm thick recycled PVC, our screens are built to last.

Weather Tolerance:
Our screens are designed to withstand extreme conditions from -60° to +60° Celsius, including direct sunlight and strong winds.

Framing Instructions:
Proper framing is crucial for the durability and longevity of PVC screens. For high wind areas, avoid the dado/groove technique and instead use the Simple Cedar Sandwich method as shown below:

• Use two pieces of wood (1”x2” to 1”x4”).
• Secure with ceramic-coated screws through the frame and panel.
• Consider frame thickness when selecting wood. Proper framing prevents fracturing or warping.

Fade-Resistant:
Embedded with a UV inhibitor to retain vibrant colours under harsh sunlight.
