Six Reasons to Install Security Screens

Installing security screens for windows and doors is one of the best methods to deter intruders from breaking in and ensure your home is protected. When it comes to protecting your family and valuables, it is worthwhile to invest in security that gives you peace of mind. Amplimesh® screens are modern and blend effortlessly with your home, so you don’t need to worry about ugly bars and bulky grilles. Take a look at six reasons why you should install Amplimesh® security screens in your home.  

1. Enhanced security  

The most common reason to install a security screen is for home protection. Amplimesh® security screens are built using marine-grade stainless steel that meet Australian Standards and are extremely tough to break through. The screens undergo rigorous tests which ensure they can resist cutting, force and tampering. Security screens also act as a deterrent, making it more likely that intruders will avoid your home once they see them and seek an easier target.  

2. Ventilation and Fresh Air 

Australian weather, especially in the summer, often brings hot, humid conditions. With security screens installed to prevent unauthorised access, you can safely leave windows open overnight to encourage natural airflow, while feeling secure.  

Allowing fresh air to circulate indoors improves overall internal air quality and reduces mugginess. Better ventilation, provided through security screens, has been shown to support overall well-being by removing airborne dust particles and creating a more comfortable living space. 

3. Harsh weather conditions  

Security screens also protect against harsh weather conditions by acting as a barrier over entry points, including doors and windows.  With Amplimesh® SupaScreen®, the stainless-steel mesh acts as a barrier that resists radiant heat, minimising the risk of fire spreading into living spaces.  Amplimesh® StormGuard® offers exceptional strength during cyclonic weather conditions and reduces glass breakage behind the screen. 

4. Property value  

Enhancing your home’s safety and energy efficiency with security screens increases its value. Prospective buyers generally see security features as an added benefit that enhances the home’s safety and aesthetic appeal, thereby contributing to its overall attractiveness when on the market. Amplimesh® security screens add a modern look to your home with a range of colours and a sleek design. 

5. Child protection  

The risks of falls from open windows and balconies are often overlooked, even though they remain a leading cause of injury for children in multi-storey homes. Amplimesh® fixed window security screens are designed to prevent falls and provide always-on protection, giving you peace of mind while enjoying fresh air and ventilation.  

6. Protection against insects 

Amplimesh® security screens are built with strong marine-grade stainless steel mesh, creating an effective barrier against insects and other pests from entering your home. This means you can confidently leave windows and doors open even overnight when bugs are most active, particularly during the warmer months.  

From enhanced security to improved ventilation, Amplimesh® security screens are a great investment for any home. Designed to meet Australian Standards and complement comfortable living, they deliver peace of mind and safety.
