What we fit on the southside
Security screens
SecureView where you want a clear view, Diamond Grille where the budget or the body corporate says so, DecoView for the front door.
Fly screens
Replacement fly screens for older windows and doors, sliding and hinged, plus pet mesh for the family dog.
Blinds and shutters
Roller and vertical blinds for rentals and townhouses, panel glides and shutters for the family home.
Older homes and new townhouses
The southside has a bit of everything: post-war brick homes with steel-framed windows, 70s and 80s houses with the original diamond grilles rusting on, and rows of new townhouses where every unit needs to match. We measure each opening on site rather than working from a plan, which is how out-of-square windows in an older home get a screen that fits and a new townhouse complex gets forty windows that all look the same. If you are replacing old grilles, ask about the difference between a barrier screen and a security screen; it is the question most people get wrong.

Our team
A Factory Fit measurer, with a tablet and a bag of mesh and colour samples. Then our own install crew, on the day we agreed, driving up from Yatala. For a townhouse complex or a commercial site we schedule the whole job in one run so there is one point of contact and one invoice.

Brisbane South questions
Do you really come up to Brisbane's southside from Yatala?
Yes. Wynnum and Sherwood are both on this page, and Brisbane is one of the three areas we have always covered. We are based in Yatala on the M1, so the southside is a normal run for the crew rather than a special trip. Use the postcode check on the service areas page if you are unsure about your suburb.
Can you match the existing frames in my townhouse complex?
Yes. Most complexes have a body corporate colour and style rule, and we powder coat frames to match. Bring your by-laws to the measure or tell us the colour name, and the quote will match what the committee will approve. The Wynnum job was two matching two-storey townhouses, 40-plus windows and 6 sets of doors, done to one specification.
Do you do unit blocks, childcare centres and other commercial sites?
Yes. The Sherwood childcare centre on this page was 14 Bella 316 doors on heavy-duty rollers, and the Toowong job nearby was a ten-unit block with nearly 100 fly screens and 36 doors. Multi-unit and commercial jobs are scheduled as one run with one point of contact.
What is the difference between a barrier screen and a security screen?
A security screen is tested to the Australian standard for security screens; a barrier screen looks similar but is sold for insect and pet control, fall protection and a strong feel, without the security test. SecureView and Xceed are security screens. If you are replacing old grilles for security reasons, say so, and we will quote the right category.
I am on the bayside at Wynnum or Manly. Do I need marine grade mesh?
It is the safe choice. Moreton Bay puts salt in the air along Wynnum, Manly and Lota, and standard mesh or lower-grade stainless will show corrosion sooner. SecureView uses 316 marine grade stainless steel, which is what we fitted on the Wynnum townhouses. Away from the bay, other products are fine; we will tell you honestly at the measure.
My windows are old and not square. Can you still fit screens?
Yes. Every opening is measured individually at your home, not taken from a plan, so a settled post-war house with slightly out-of-square windows gets screens made to each one. Casement and awning windows, servery windows and odd sizes are normal for us. The custom openings page shows some of the tricky ones.
I am a landlord. What are my obligations on screens?
Queensland tenancy rules touch on security and on keeping fixtures in good repair, and our landlords and tenants guide sets out what we understand them to be. We are installers, not lawyers, so treat that guide as a starting point and check with the Residential Tenancies Authority for the current rules. For the screens themselves, verticals and rollers and Diamond Grille are the practical, easy-to-replace choices for rentals.
