Security Screens:
Protection Beyond Insects

Australia’s warm climate means our homes are constantly exposed to flies, mosquitoes, bees, and other insects. It’s no wonder the humble flyscreen has been a staple in Aussie homes for decades.

But while a standard flyscreen can keep bugs out, it doesn’t offer much else. Security screens go beyond insect protection, offering durability, safety, and peace of mind. Here’s why they’re the smarter choice for your home.

Why Flyscreens Sometimes Just Don’t Cut It

1. Easily Damaged

Flyscreens may need repairs if the mesh is accidentally pushed firmly and the rubber spline holding the mesh loosens. Security screens are constructed of stronger materials as they are an actual security product made to Australian Standards.

2. Harder to Clean

Flyscreens can potentially stretch, warp, or tear if not treated properly during cleaning, leaving them looking worn and less effective. Security screens are tougher, easier to clean, and maintain their appearance over time.

3. Unsafe Around Children

Flyscreens aren’t designed to support weight. A child leaning against one could fall through, risking injury. Security screens act as a proper barrier, offering added protection for little ones.

4. No Protection from Intruders

A flyscreen can be pushed in or cut with minimal effort. Security screens are designed to resist forced entry, giving you peace of mind—especially during warm summer nights when windows are left open.

5. Adds Value to Your Home

Security screens improve safety, enhance property value, and make homes easier to sell or rent. They may also help meet insurance requirements and even reduce premiums.

Flyscreens are for bugs. Security screens are for life.
