Living in Australia means enjoying beautiful views and fresh breezes, but it also comes with unique challenges like bushfires, cyclones and potential intruders. Safety and security screens can be a game changer for homeowners, providing multiple benefits beyond just keeping bugs out. Here are 5 compelling reasons why installing safety and security screens can enhance your home’s safety and comfort.
1. Protection from Intruders
Security screens are a robust barrier against unwanted guests and are designed to withstand significant force, while these screens add a crucial layer of security to your home. For instance, the SecureView meets rigorous Australian security testing standards, enduring impacts from kicks, shoulder attacks, jemmy, and pull attacks as well as blunt force tools like hammers and knives. Installing security screens makes it challenging for intruders to access your home, giving you peace of mind. By choosing screens that meet these high standards, you ensure that your home is as secure as possible against any form of attack.
2. Protection from Bushfires
Australia’s bushfire season is a serious concern for many homeowners. Safety and security screens that meet Australian standards for bushfire attack and fire attenuation can significantly reduce the risk of fire damage to your home, and our screens are designed to minimise radiant heat transfer, protecting your property from the intense heat of nearby fires.
In areas prone to bushfires, it’s crucial to ensure that your security doors and windows meet the necessary regulations. Obviously, standard insect screens can be flammable, increasing the risk of fire damage, although choosing our high quality screens can provide an additional layer of defence against bushfires, safeguarding your home and family.
3. Emergency Escape
In case of a fire inside your home, having a means of emergency escape is vital. Traditional security bars and shutters can trap you inside, but safety and security screens with internal opening mechanisms offer a safe exit route. These screens prevent unauthorised access from the outside while allowing easy opening from the inside in emergencies. It’s essential that these screens have child safe mechanisms that adults can easily override. This feature ensures that in an emergency you can quickly and safely exit your home.
4. Protection from Cyclones
Cyclones bring extreme winds and flying debris, posing a significant threat to homes and safety. Security screens designed to meet Australian cyclone missile impact standards can withstand debris can reduce the risk of injury from flying debris and minimise potential damage to your property.
5. Fall Prevention
For families with small children and pets, open windows can be a safety hazard. Our safety screens are an effective solution, allowing you to open windows for ventilation while preventing accidents. Unlike standard flyscreens, which are insufficient to stop a child from falling, safety screens such as Xceed and SecureView with fall protection technology meet the necessary Australian standards for preventing falls.
These screens enable you to enjoy fresh air without compromising the safety of your loved ones.
