Frequently Asked Questions
What are security screens and how do they work?
Security screens are specially designed mesh panels fitted to doors or windows to protect against intruders while still allowing airflow and visibility. They are typically made from marine-grade stainless steel or aluminium mesh combined with reinforced frames and tamper-resistant hardware. Unlike flyscreens, security screens are built to withstand impact, cutting and forced entry. They provide year-round ventilation, keep insects out and help prevent unauthorised access without compromising the appearance of your home. Security screens are ideal for front doors, sliding doors and windows, offering a balance of protection, ventilation and peace of mind for homeowners and families.
Are security screens suitable for homes in coastal areas?
Yes, security screens are well suited to coastal environments when built with corrosion-resistant materials. High-quality products typically use stainless steel mesh with a powder-coated aluminium frame, which helps prevent rust and deterioration caused by salty air and humidity. These screens are tested to withstand harsh outdoor conditions, making them a reliable option for coastal homes. Regular cleaning and occasional maintenance help preserve the finish and extend lifespan. For areas near the ocean, it's important to choose products specifically designed for coastal use to ensure both long-term durability and continued security performance throughout the year.
Can security screens be installed on sliding and bi-fold doors?
Security screens can be custom-made to fit most door types, including sliding, hinged, French and bi-fold doors. For sliding doors, the screen operates on its own track, allowing the door to be opened while still maintaining protection. Bi-fold screens are designed to fold away neatly, mirroring the movement of the door and maintaining full access when needed. The key to effective installation is accurate measurement and high-quality hardware that ensures smooth operation. A professional installer will assess the door style and recommend the most suitable screen system to ensure security, airflow and visual consistency with the surrounding features.
Security Doors
Our security doors are built to meet the demands of homes and businesses across Cairns. Made from tough aluminium and reinforced mesh, they provide a solid barrier against intrusion without compromising airflow or visibility. Choose from hinged or sliding options with a variety of finishes to match your space. We custom build and install every door to suit your opening, ensuring a perfect fit. These doors offer lasting strength, added peace of mind and a refined appearance.
Window Grilles
Window grilles are a smart and secure way to protect your property in Cairns. Designed to resist forced entry while maintaining airflow, our aluminium grilles suit both residential and commercial buildings. We fabricate each grille to your specifications, using corrosion-resistant materials ideal for tropical climates. Whether installed as a visual deterrent or part of a complete security system, they’re effective and discreet. Talk to us about integrating custom grilles that enhance both safety and aesthetics.
Insect Screens
Insect screens are essential for maintaining comfort and cleanliness in Cairns properties. Our custom-built screens keep out flies, mosquitoes and other pests while allowing natural airflow throughout your home or workplace. We offer a range of mesh types, including fibreglass and stainless steel, paired with strong aluminium frames. These screens are perfect for windows, doors and enclosed patios, and can be fitted with ease. Let us help you keep your space breezy, cool and insect-free year-round.
