What we fit on the northside
Security screens
SecureView for clear views from a verandah, Diamond Grille for a rental, DecoView for a front door with some character.
Fly screens
Casement, awning and sash window screens, hinged and sliding door screens, and the servery windows common in Queenslander kitchens.
Blinds and shutters
Plantation shutters suit the older homes; roller and Venetian blinds for the units.
Queenslanders, casements and oversized windows
The inner north is full of homes that were never meant to take a standard screen: casement windows that swing out, sash windows in timber frames, servery hatches, verandahs enclosed decades ago, and renovations that put a wall of glass where a bedroom used to be. We measure each opening on site and build to it. Casements get a screen that lets the window open outwards; timber frames get fixings that suit timber; and very wide windows get a single screen without a mid-rail where the product allows, like the 4430mm louvre window in Paddington. Upstairs bedrooms in a two-storey home can also take a fall prevention screen that meets the Kids Don't Fly requirements.
- Casement, awning and sash windows screened so they still open
- Timber frames and out-of-square openings measured individually
- Oversized windows and doors, single panels where possible
- Fall prevention screens for upstairs windows
Our team
A Factory Fit measurer with a tablet and samples, then our own install crew on the agreed day. For a unit block, we schedule floor by floor so residents are disturbed once, not five times; the Toowong job was done in under two days that way.

Brisbane North questions
Do you come as far as Chermside, Aspley and Sandgate from Yatala?
Brisbane is one of our three service areas and the inner north is well inside it; the Paddington and Toowong jobs on this page are examples. How far north the crews go on a routine basis is something to confirm with a postcode check on the service areas page, and if you are on the edge, call and ask.
I have a very wide window. Can you screen it with one panel?
Often, yes. The Paddington job on this page had a 4430mm bank of louvre windows over the pool screened with a single Bella 316 panel. Whether a single panel works depends on the product, the height and the frame, and we will tell you at the measure. Where it does not, the join is placed where it interrupts the view least.
Should I screen the upstairs windows for child safety?
If small children sleep or play upstairs, it is worth asking about. Our BasiX fall prevention screens are built to the Kids Don't Fly requirements using 0.71mm 316 stainless mesh, so an upstairs window can open for air without being a fall risk. They can be fitted to selected windows rather than the whole house.
Do plantation shutters suit an older Brisbane home?
Very well, and it is one of the more common requests from character-home owners. Painted timber or fauxwood shutters sit naturally in a Queenslander, and because each panel is made to the window, the slightly out-of-square frames in older houses are handled at the measure. Pair them with a fly screen on the outside and you can leave the sashes open.
Can you screen casement windows on a Queenslander?
Yes. Casements swing outward, so the screen sits inside the frame and the window still opens fully; sash and awning windows get their own solutions. Timber frames take different fixings from aluminium, and every opening is measured on site, so an out-of-square hundred-year-old window is not a problem. The casement windows guide has more detail.
I own a unit. What do I need to know about screens and the body corporate?
Most body corporates set a frame colour and sometimes a product style so the building stays uniform, and anything fixed to common property (the outside of the window frame, for example) can need approval. Check your by-laws, tell us at the measure, and the quote will match what the committee will approve. We screened a ten-unit block in Toowong to one specification.
Do you do the northern bayside, like Sandgate and Shorncliffe?
Sandgate and the northern bayside are on our suburb list, and like Wynnum on the southside they sit on Moreton Bay, so 316 marine grade mesh is the sensible choice near the water. Confirm your suburb with the postcode check before booking.
