Why You Should Install Safety and Security Screens for Your Home

Safety and security are paramount for homeowners, and one of the best ways to protect your home is by installing safety and security screens. These durable, protective screens not only keep your property secure but offer several other benefits that make them a smart investment for any homeowner. Whether you’re looking to safeguard your family from intruders or simply keep insects out while letting fresh air in, safety and security screens are an excellent choice. Below are 5 key reasons to consider installing them.

1. Enhanced Protection from Intruders

One of the primary reasons for installing security screens is to deter and prevent break ins. These screens are designed to withstand significant force, making it much harder for intruders to access your home. Unlike regular flyscreens or bars, security screens such as SecureView and Xceed meet Australian security standards and offer superior protection. With these screens installed, your home will be fortified against attacks and offer a visible deterrent that reduces the risk of a break in, all while still allowing airflow and visibility.

2. Bushfire Resistance

In areas prone to bushfires, having screens that can withstand heat and flames is crucial. We have a range of bushfire rated screens available that meet Australian standards for fire attenuation. These screens can prevent embers from entering your home and reduce the risk of heat damage.

So it’s essential to choose screens that comply with the latest bushfire safety regulations if you live in a high risk area as some lower quality flyscreens may even be flammable, which could pose additional danger during a bushfire.

3. Emergency Escape Capabilities

While keeping intruders out is important, ensuring you can safely exit your home during an emergency is equally essential. Some security features, like bars and shutters, may trap you inside during a fire or other emergency. This is where safety screens with exit mechanisms come in handy, allowing for easy escape in case of an emergency, while still keeping your home secure from the outside. These mechanisms are designed to be child safe, ensuring they can’t be opened by accident, but easy enough for adults to unlock in seconds if needed.

4. Protection During Extreme Weather

Australia’s climate can be unpredictable at times, with cyclones and extreme storms causing significant damage. SecureView screens are designed to withstand harsh weather conditions offering protection from flying debris during these events. These screens are tested to withstand high-speed impacts and can help reduce the damage caused to your home during a cyclone. This adds an extra layer of security, ensuring your family remains safe even during extreme weather events.

5. Preventing Falls from Windows

If you have young children or pets, safety becomes a concern when leaving windows open. Traditional flyscreens can’t provide adequate fall protection, but safety screens with fall prevention technology can.

These screens allow you to open windows for fresh air while ensuring that children and pets can’t accidentally fall out.
