If you’ve been looking for security screens to protect your home, then we are here to assist.

Protecting your home is one of the most important investments you can make. Adding a new screen to your doors or windows can provide privacy and security to kept out thieves and unauthorised people.

What is Australian Standard AS5039-2008?

This sets out the standard requirements for the performance of hinged and sliding security screen doors and security window grilles. Products must meet the requirements of 6 tests to assess the strength and structural integrity of security screen doors and security window screens.

Tests include a knife test, an impact test, a jemmy or screwdriver test, a pull test, a probe test which is creating a hole through the door and a shears test.

What is the difference between a security door and a safety door?

A security door must pass the above 6 tests. A safety door may look similar, but it has not passed these stringent tests and has not received the Australian Standard AS5039-2008.

Most security doors will have a 3 point locking system, 316 marine-grade stainless steel or structural grade aluminium panels that are corrosion resistant, between 0.8-1.6mm mesh thickness, insect protection, manufacturer’s warranty, and are AS5039-2008 rated.

What is the difference between the Supascreen® security mesh and the Intrudaguard® security mesh?

The Supascreen® is made from 316 marine grade stainless steel and has an unobstructed 156 degree angle of view coupled with a 16-year warranty. The Intrudaguard® on the other hand is made from 5052 marine grade aluminium, has a 119 degree angle of view and a 10-year warranty.

Both of these screens meet standard AS5039-2008, have superior insect and pest protection, are corrosion-resistant, have a 3-point locking mechanism and are WERS rated for UV resistance and energy efficiency.
