How do I choose the best colour for my new Security Screens or insect screens?

 

When choosing the colour for your new security screens or insect screens, how do you know which colour will be the best for you? Start by taking a stroll around your home. Take notice of the colour schemes that are already there. Look at the colour of your home, the colour of your gutters and fascia, and also take note of the colour of your existing aluminium windows.

 

With regards to your existing aluminium windows and sliding doors, the general rule of thumb for this decision, is to stick with the colour of your existing aluminium frames. This choice will result in your new security screens or insect screens matching easily with your existing frame colour, resulting in a streamlined classy look. For example, if your aluminium windows are white, it will generally look odd if you chose a darker colour for the security screens. We access the Colorbond range, to match your existing look. One very popular choice for existing timber homes, is the Colorbond colour of Merbau, for a knockout timber look on your home...

 

With regards to the front and back door, have a look at your existing door and surrounding area. You may consider to keep the colour the same as your windows for a matching effect around the whole house, or many people are choosing black (Colorbond colour Monument), for their front and back door, and this colour has become very popular in recent times.

Single Locks are great, but triple locks are better....

What is a triple-lock, and Why would I need one on my new Security Door? Single lock security doors are standard issue, and they're great. The sense of security and peace of mind that comes from having a locked security door, is the very thing that makes them worthwhile. A single lock door has one locking mechanism, in the centre where the handle is. If an invader was seriously attempting to get through your door, single locks can potentially allow for a crowbar or other implement to prise the door from the frame at either the bottom or the top of the door. No one wants Triple locks doors however, are next level when it comes to securing your home. Triple lock doors have three locking points, in the centre, then another above the handle, and another below the handle. The three locking points operate seamlessly from one key lock, and absolutely provide superior security for your home and family. You can sleep well when you have a triple-lock security door securing your home.
