Most homeowners invest in security screen doors and windows to have a secure home – that’s what we all want right? But there are plenty of other benefits of installing security screens on your home. 

Let’s look at some of the main benefits of installing security screens. 

Protect Your Home from Break-Ins

The main reason most homeowners install a security screen is to prevent their home from intruders. With many “off the shelf” screen doors and window screens, it is far too easy for an intruder to cut into the mesh or kick them in, giving easy access to your home. When you choose to use a high quality security screen, you get the benefit of a mesh screen that cannot be cut through or kicked in. 

Insurance Benefits

Do you remember the last time you set up your home and contents insurance? You will likely have been asked if your home has key-locked security screens or deadlocks on windows and doors. A triple-locking system for screen doors gives you added protection for your home (and secures the door into the frame). You can then add key locks to your windows for additional peace of mind. 

Maintain Privacy

Quality security screens, help to maintain your privacy inside your home, while still allowing you to have the doors open and air flowing through your home. you get the added benefit of people passing by your home not being able to see in (unlike with a standard fly screen mesh) while you can still see everything happening outside.

Increase Natural Light and Ventilation

One of the biggest complaints about keeping a home secure is minimised natural light and ventilation through the need to keep doors and windows to your property closed and locked. A high quality security screen will allow you to keep your doors and windows open, giving you plenty of natural light and ventilation while keeping your family and your belongings safe wherever you are in your home. 

Add Value to Your Home

Did you know that security screens can add value to your home? Because of both the additional security factor, and the aesthetic factor, adding security screens can be a lower cost way to add value to your home when it comes time to sell. Buyers also appreciate the long lifespan of good quality security screen doors and windows, and know that their family and belongings will be protected for years to come.
