What Diamond Grille does for your home
Diamond Grille is one of the best known and most affordable security screen options in Australia: a 7 mm aluminium grille over your choice of insect mesh, with frame and grille both powder coated to match your home. One screen does four jobs. It keeps insects out while the breeze comes through (36 to 79 percent airflow, depending on the mesh), keeps pets and children in, puts a visible physical barrier between the street and your glass, and does it at the entry point of our security range. Custom made for every door and window, in three hardware grades and over 150 colours, measured and fitted by our own team.
Most grille screens are barrier screens rather than tested security screens. Our Security grade, with a Lockwood triple lock, four security-pin hinges and lock guards, is as far as a grille goes, and we will tell you when SecureView is the better buy for a front door.
Three grades: Safety, Barrier and Security
The same 7 mm grille in every grade. What steps up is the hardware and how firmly the grille is fixed to the frame, so pick by what the door is protecting. On window screens the grades make little practical difference; on doors they decide the lock, the cylinder and the hinges. On our security index the three grades score 35, 45 and 50 out of 100. For comparison, SecureView starts at 75 and goes to 90, which is why we suggest SecureView when the front door is the main worry: it costs more, and it does more.

Why people choose Diamond Grille
Versatile, dependable and affordable is why it stays a favourite with Australian homeowners.
Designed for your space
Custom made for every window and door, so it fits older homes and odd sizes as well as new builds. Frame and grille both powder coated in any of over 150 Interpon colours, plus clear and bronze anodised, so the screen matches the window frames, the gutters or the front door instead of fighting them.
Safe and strong
A rigid 7 mm aluminium grille riveted into a powder coated frame, with the hardware chosen by grade. Step up to Security for a deep-pocket frame, a Lockwood triple lock, four security-pin hinges, four wheels and lock guards.
Keep breezes, not bugs
Up to 79 percent airflow with the right mesh behind the grille. Nine insect meshes to choose from: pet proof for claws and noses, finer weaves for midges, UltraVue for the view, aluminium or stainless for bushfire zones.

Which insect mesh goes behind the grille?
All nine meshes we fit behind a grille, rated for visibility, privacy, durability, ventilation and cost. Pick one and the bars move. Visibility, privacy, durability, ventilation and cost are properties of the mesh, not the grade.
Airflow through the finished screen ranges from 36 to 79 percent depending on the mesh. Bushfire rating applies only with aluminium or stainless mesh. Cost is shown dark: shorter is cheaper.
Warranty
Diamond Grille screens carry a 12-month warranty. Some components carry their own longer warranty, for example Lockwood locks (25 years) and rollers (2 years). Cleaning every few months is a condition. Full terms are on the warranty page.

Diamond Grille screens questions
Is a Diamond Grille door a security door?
No. Grille screens are barrier screens: strong enough to keep insects out, pets and kids in, and to make an intruder look elsewhere, but not tested to the Australian Standard for security doors. Our Security grade adds a Lockwood triple lock, security-pin hinges and lock guards, which is as far as a grille goes, but it is not sold as a tested security door. For a tested security screen, look at SecureView: it costs more, and it does more.
Which insect mesh should I choose behind the grille?
Standard fibreglass suits most homes. Paw Proof (0.64 mm) if you have cats or dogs. Aluminium (0.24 mm) or stainless (0.17 mm) if you need a bushfire rating or live by the coast. Sandfly mesh (0.33 mm) for midge areas, UltraVue (0.20 mm) for the clearest view, one way vision (0.60 mm) for privacy, and patio and pool mesh for outdoor enclosures. We bring samples to the measure.
Will a grille screen stop my child falling from an upstairs window?
Diamond Grille is Kids Don't Fly compliant when installed on windows. Compliance depends on how the screen is fixed, which is why we install rather than supply. No screen replaces supervision. If fall prevention without a grille is what you want, BasiX and SecureView are built for it.
How long does installation take?
A standard home with a few doors and windows is usually done in a few hours. We measure, have the screens made to measure for your openings, then book the install. Our team will give you the expected timing at the measure.
How do I clean a grille screen?
A soft cloth or sponge, warm water and a little dish soap, then a rinse with fresh water. Get into the diamonds with a soft brush if dust builds up. Every six months is enough in most suburbs; every two to four weeks right on the coast. Keep water and cleaning solution out of the lock and use graphite powder on moving parts, not WD-40. The care and cleaning page has the steps.
What is the difference between the Safety, Barrier and Security grades?
Hardware and fixing. Safety has a single lock with a disc cylinder, two standard hinges, two wheels and the grille riveted at every fourth cord. Barrier has a triple lock with a 5-pin cylinder, three security-pin hinges, four wheels and rivets at every third cord. Security has a Lockwood 8654 triple lock, a 5-pin cylinder, four security-pin hinges, four wheels, a deep-pocket frame, lock guards and rivets at every second cord. The grille itself is the same 7 mm aluminium in each, and on window screens the grades make little practical difference. On our security index they score 35, 45 and 50 out of 100.
Is Diamond Grille bushfire rated?
Only with the right mesh. Diamond Grille needs aluminium or stainless steel insect mesh for bushfire compliance. Aluminium mesh is rated BAL 12.5, 19 and 29; stainless mesh is rated BAL 12.5, 19, 29 and 40. Standard fibreglass and pet meshes are not rated. Tell us your BAL at the measure and we will quote the right mesh. Our BAL guide explains the levels.
Can I get Diamond Grille in a colour that matches my house?
Yes. The frame and the grille are both powder coated, in any of over 150 Interpon colours plus clear and bronze anodised, so matching window frames, gutters or the front door is straightforward. We bring the swatches to the measure and hold them against the house. A colour-matched grille is what stops it looking like an afterthought on a newer home.
What warranty comes with Diamond Grille?
Diamond Grille screens carry a 12-month warranty. Some components carry their own longer warranty: a Lockwood lock is covered for 25 years and rollers for 2 years, for example. Regular cleaning is a condition. The warranty page has the full terms and the claim process.
