What Are Security Screens Made Of?

When it comes to home security, the little details can make a big difference. One such detail is the material used in your security screens. It’s not just about keeping intruders out; it’s also about durability, maintenance and even the look of your home. In this blog, we’ll explore these aspects in detail, shedding light on what you should consider when choosing security screens for your home.

Security screens are more than just mesh; they’re a blend of science and engineering. Marine-grade stainless steel is often the go-to material, offering superb strength and resistance to corrosion. This material ensures that your home is not just secure but also stands up to the harsh weather conditions.

Additionally, the fine mesh design allows for excellent visibility and airflow, ensuring that you don’t have to compromise on comfort for security. The screens are also designed to be easily fitted into various types of doors and windows, making them a versatile choice for any home.

Choosing the suitable material for your security screens is an important step in enhancing your home’s safety while keeping it stylish. Let’s look at some popular options and how they can meet your specific needs.

• Marine-grade Stainless Steel: Ideal for coastal areas, highly durable. This material is especially resistant to salt air, making it a long-lasting option for homes near the sea.
• Powder Coating: Available in 300 colours, enhances aesthetic appeal. The powder coating also adds an extra layer of protection against weather elements.

Tweed Heads’ climate can be quite diverse in the various moods of our weather system, where sun-drenched days can swiftly transition into unexpected rain showers. To protect your timber shutters:



• Sealants: Apply a weatherproof sealant to timber shutters to protect against moisture.
• Regular Checks: Inspect your shutters for any signs of water damage, especially after heavy rainfall.

Stainless steel screens are incredibly durable but may require cleaning to maintain their appearance. Using a mild detergent can help in removing accumulated grime, fingerprints or stains from the screens. It’s also important to avoid using abrasive or corrosive cleaning agents on stainless steel, as they can damage the surface and diminish its natural shine. While it’s resistant to corrosion, inspecting your screens periodically is recommended.

Choosing the right material for your security screens is an investment in your home’s future. High-quality materials offer enhanced security and add to your property’s value. Moreover, durable materials can reduce long-term maintenance costs and even offer potential insurance benefits.
