Can Security Screens Really Add Value To Your Home?

Can security screens really add value to your home? This question is very common when deciding whether or not to install security screens. 

In simple terms, yes, they do add value to your home. However, High-quality security screens like Amplimesh® do much more than just act as a protective and safety feature, but create value through enhancing kerb appeal and liveability.

The Value of First Impressions

When buying a home, first impressions are important. Unlike older-style security screens, which are bulky and block views, Amplimesh® security doors and window screens add a modern look to the home and boost the kerbside appeal of your home. Sleek, colour-matched frames and premium materials ensure the screens add visual interest that makes your home stand out and creates value. 

Security as a Selling Point

Security screens are one of the most practical ways of increasing the value of your home, as they reduce insurance and increase property value and demand. When it comes to selling, homes with quality security features often command higher prices in the market. Buyers generally value homes that feel secure, well-maintained, and move-in ready. Also, prospective buyers are typically willing to pay more for a home with enhanced security and lower insurance premiums, which can be provided through security screens.

Comfort, Airflow, Efficiency, and Security

One of the most desirable features of Amplimesh® security screens is the ability to increase comfort in your home by delivering airflow and natural light while maintaining safety. The security screen creates a barrier that keeps unwanted pests and intruders out and allows fresh air to flow freely inside. 

This ventilation is particularly valuable with our hot Australian climate, especially in summer, where a cool breeze can enter, which enhances livability without compromising on safety. This also lowers the reliance on air conditioning, which can reduce energy bills and appeal to energy-conscious buyers when putting your home on the market. 

Overall, the installation of security screens can add great value by providing substantial peace of mind for homeowners, especially for families with children and pet owners, whilst transforming the comfort of your home and being a significant selling point.
