Bella 316 Barrier Security Screens

It’s a type of stainless steel that has been specifically formulated to handle moisture, salt and other harsh environmental factors. The “316” refers to the grade of steel, which contains molybdenum, a mineral that boosts its resistance to corrosion. This makes it perfect for homes near the coast, where salty sea breezes can quickly damage lower grade steel. With this product, the mesh is woven into 0.7mm strands, giving you strength, security and a crystal clear view all in one. Overall, it’s built to look good, stay strong and last a very long time.

As they are custom made we can design them to fit your existing door or window frames without awkward gaps or mismatched finishes. When we visit for your free in-house quote, we’ll measure everything carefully and make sure the installation looks seamless and works perfectly with your home’s style.

They’re perfect for coastal homes and in fact that’s one of the main reasons many people choose the Bella 316. The marine grade stainless steel combined with a premium Interpon powder coated finish means the screens won’t rust, bubble, or degrade like cheaper alternatives can in salty air. If you live near the beach, this is one of the smartest investments you can make for your home.

Not at all as the woven stainless steel mesh is fine enough to give you an almost uninterrupted view while still blocking unwanted visitors, both the human and insect kind! You’ll still get plenty of natural light and fresh air, so your home won’t feel closed in or gloomy.

The Bella 316 mesh is tough enough to handle the occasional paw swipe, nose nudge or even the determined push from a larger dog. Of course, no mesh is completely indestructible if an animal really wants to get through, but Bella 316 holds up far better than regular flyscreen or lightweight mesh. We can even add a secure pet door if you want to give them their own entrance.

We have a great range of powder coated frame colours, so you can choose one that blends in with your existing joinery or makes a feature of your doors and windows. During your quote, we can bring colour samples so you can see exactly what will work best with your home.

This product has been tested and meets Bushfire Attack Levels BAL 12.5, BAL 19 and BAL 29, which covers many bushfire prone zones in Australia. If you’re in a high risk area, having BAL rated screens can be a huge advantage when it comes to both safety and compliance.

Maintenance is easy, and simply wash the mesh and frame every few months with mild soapy water and a soft cloth or brush, then rinse with clean water. If you live right on the coast or in an industrial area, it’s best to clean them more often to prevent salt or grime build up. Always avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive pads as they’re not needed and could damage the finish!

With proper care, they can last for decades and these screens are backed by a 5 year manufacturer’s warranty (12 months for locks and accessories), but because they’re built from premium marine grade stainless steel and our professionally installed by our experts, most customers find they keep looking and performing like new for many, many years.
