Security screens are an important part of home security. They protect your home from intruders and act as a deterrent to would-be burglars. Here are 5 things to know about security screens before installing them for your own home.

1) Types of Security Screens

There are two main types of security screens available:

  • Metal security screens are an excellent solution to protect your property against intruders. Highly durable and reliable, metal security screens will provide much-needed peace of mind by safeguarding windows and doors. With their stylish appearance and robust construction, metal security screens are the ideal choice for any commercial or residential space concerned about potential break-ins.
  • Mesh security screens are an ideal choice for those looking to improve their home security while enhancing the look of their property. These screens are made from a durable, weatherproof material that resists corrosion, meaning they can be used both inside and outside a home to help keep unwanted insects or small animals out. Furthermore, these screens provide excellent visibility without sacrificing safety due to their see-through design. 

2) Installation

Installing security screens correctly is essential to helping protect your family and property. Doing the job right requires expertise; someone trained in knowing where to install the screens for optimum protection, how to fit them properly, and the tools to securely attach them. Choosing a professional ensures that you have the best guarded home from intruders, as well as peace of mind knowing it has been safely installed. It requires an investment of time, effort, and money, but it’s worth it if you want a reliable level of protection.

3) Cost

The cost of installing security screens depends on the type of screen chosen, as well as the size of the area being covered. Metal security screens will cost more than mesh ones due to their higher level of protection; however, both types can be installed for reasonable prices if you shop around for competitive quotes from different installers. 

4) Maintenance

Once installed, security screens should be checked regularly for any damage or wear-and-tear that could render them ineffective at protecting your home from intruders. Any damaged parts should be replaced immediately to maintain the effectiveness of the screen. 

5) Visual Impact

Security screens can have a significant visual impact on your home’s curb appeal, so it’s important to choose one that complements the style of your house. Mesh security screens tend to be less obtrusive than metal ones and thus may be more aesthetically pleasing if looks are important to you.
