Installing security screens can seem just like yet another expense to home and business owners. And it’s sometimes an expense that people avoid by choosing not to install security screens.
Whilst you may not be in a high crime area and don’t suffer from break-ins, they are always a threat even though you may not think so. Break-ins are also more likely to happen if you don’t have adequate security so it’s in your interests to take proper actions.
Benefits of Security Screens
Although some people still doubt the value of security screens, they are gaining in popularity throughout Australia. There are plenty of reasons for this:
- Security screens provide a visible deterrent that will put off all but the most committed of criminals. Most intruders are opportunist thieves who look for properties that are easy to enter due to open windows or an obvious lack of any security measures. If they see security screens in place, they are likely to look elsewhere rather than spend a lot of time and effort trying to get through them as well as making a lot of noise that will draw attention to their actions.
- Modern security screens in Melbourne have an attractive appearance from close up, are unobtrusive from a distance and do not detract from the look of a property; in fact, they enhance it. This is assured by the availability of aluminium coating in a variety of colours that means screens can fit in with existing décor.
- Security screens with small perforations let in air and light while keeping out insects and other pests. They, therefore, act as an effective flyscreen and reduce the need for costly air conditioning by allowing in a cooling breeze when windows are open.
- The small size of perforations and the rigidity of the screens prevent flying debris from getting through when there are severe storms. Additionally, screens are generally suitable for bushfire areas since embers carried on the wind are kept out of properties.
- The extra security provided by these screens means homes and businesses are safer, often allowing lower insurance premiums to be paid for the same level of cover.
Only the Best Screens will do
You’ll only get all the benefits that security screens can bring by buying the highest quality and ensuring they’re installed correctly. Don’t believe a flimsy flyscreen will do the job because, although it may look the part at first glance, it won’t deter thieves and it certainly won’t help to prevent bushfire damage.
Security is not an area where you should cut corners because you’ll almost inevitably pay the price eventually with a burglary or fire damage that could have been prevented. High-quality Melbourne security screens will last a long time and continue to look good as well as being totally effective for many years. So you’re spreading the cost of your investment over a long period whereas, with cheaper screens, you might have to replace them several times over that period. As a result, they may end up costing more for a lower level of security.
