A window security screen is a mesh or grille panel in a powder-coated frame that fits to your window so it locks in place and stands up to forced entry, while still letting the breeze through. We supply and fit them for every window type in Brisbane, the Gold Coast and Logan homes, from small bathroom windows to a 4,430 mm bank of louvres screened in one piece.

How each window type gets screened

The screen has to work with the way the window opens. This is how we handle each one.

  • Sliding window with a black-framed security screen on one side

    Sliding windows

    A fixed screen over the opening half, sitting in the window's own screen channel or a fitted frame. The most common window in Queensland homes and the quickest to screen.

  • Awning window with a black-framed security screen fitted

    Awning windows

    Awnings push out at the bottom, so the screen fits on the inside of the window and the winder or handle is reached through a small hinged or sliding section, or the screen itself opens. We choose at the measure.

  • Open casement windows behind black-framed security screens

    Casement windows

    Casements swing on side hinges, so you need to reach out to open them. We fit two sliding panels on a track (a dual slider) so you slide one aside, open the window, and slide it back.

  • Louvre window fitted with a black-framed screen

    Louvre windows

    Louvres are screened from the inside with a fixed panel, and banks of louvres can be covered by one long screen. The longest we have built is 4,430 mm, at Paddington.

  • Fixed window and double-hung window side by side, both screened

    Fixed and double hung

    Fixed glass gets a fixed screen. Double hung sashes get a full-height screen on the outside or a half screen that covers the opening sash, depending on the frame.

  • Bedroom window with a hinged escape screen swung open

    Fire escape windows

    Bedrooms on upper floors often need a window you can get out of. We fit a hinged screen that opens outwards from the inside with a quick release, so it is a security screen every day and an exit when it counts.

Which security screen suits windows?

All of these come as window screens. Pick by view, look and budget, then read the product page for the detail.

  • White sliding security screen doors opening onto a covered patio

    SecureView

    Stainless mesh, the clearest view and the one to choose where the window is the room's outlook.

  • Close-up of an Xceed perforated security door with handle and key

    Xceed

    Perforated aluminium, light, and often the best value security option for a house full of windows.

  • SecureView sliding security doors looking out over a canal

    Saltwater Series

    SecureView built for saltwater regions, for windows on beachside, canal and bayside homes.

  • Diamond grille security door lock with the key in the cylinder

    Diamond Grille

    Aluminium grille with fly mesh behind, the traditional look with the biggest colour range.

For fall prevention rather than security, BasiX fall prevention screens are built for kids' bedrooms and upper floors under the Kids Don't Fly requirement. Not a security screen. See BasiX fall prevention screens

Oversized, awkward and safety-critical windows

  • Big windows without a mid-rail

    A wide window normally gets a bar across it so the mesh stays tight. We can supply oversized screens without one, which is how the Paddington louvre bank became a single 4,430 mm screen. The measure tells us what your frame can take.

  • Reaching the window

    Casements, some awnings and winders all need you to get to the hardware. Dual sliders, hinged screen sections and inside-fitted screens each solve it differently, chosen per window.

  • Getting out in a fire

    Upper-floor bedrooms and some council or insurer requirements call for a window you can exit through. A hinged fire escape screen opens outward from inside with a release and is locked from the outside like any other security screen. Ask about it for every bedroom on the measure.

  • Kids and windows

    Queensland's Kids Don't Fly requirement applies to bedroom windows above ground level in new and renovated homes. The BasiX fall prevention screen is built for it (a fall prevention screen, not a security screen), and SecureView and Xceed security screens are also strong enough to stop a fall when fitted correctly. The BasiX page has the detail.

  • Body corporate rules

    Units usually need every screen to look the same from the street, and some committees restrict colours or grille styles. We have screened whole blocks (Toowong) and townhouse pairs (Wynnum) and quote so the building matches.

  • Coastal and bushfire homes

    Near the water, 316 stainless mesh and a marine-grade powder coat resist salt spray. On the bushfire fringe, ask for the BAL rating you need; the BAL guide explains which products are rated. Mention where you live at the measure.

Window security screens questions

Can you put security screens on louvre windows?

Yes. Louvre windows are screened from the inside with a fixed panel, and a whole bank of louvres can be covered by one screen rather than several. The longest we have built is 4,430 mm, on a Paddington home where the owner wanted a single uninterrupted screen over the louvres by the pool. The measure confirms whether your bank can be done in one.

Can I get out through a security window screen in an emergency?

Yes, with a fire escape screen. It is hinged to open outward from inside with a release, and from outside it is locked like any other security screen. We fit them to upper-floor bedrooms and anywhere you want a second way out. Mention it at the measure and we will suggest which windows should have one.

Do you screen small windows, like bathrooms and toilets?

Yes. Small awning or sliding windows in bathrooms, laundries and toilets are often the ones intruders try because they are left open, so we treat them like any other window. The Wynnum townhouses included small bathroom windows in the same job as the oversized corner doors.

Will the screens match across a whole unit block?

Yes. We quote whole buildings in one product and one colour so every window looks the same from the street, and we have done a ten-unit block in Toowong with a dozen windows and nearly 100 fly screens in under two days. Ask us for the product detail your body corporate needs before it meets.

How do you screen a casement window if I need to reach out to open it?

With a dual slider: two screen panels on a track that slide sideways, so you move one panel across, open the casement, and slide it back. Each panel runs on a track lined with soft pile so it glides. We fitted this at Jacobs Well on casement windows that had no tidy screening option before.

Which window screen is safest for a child's bedroom?

The BasiX fall prevention screen is made for the Kids Don't Fly requirement on bedroom windows above ground level. It is a fall prevention screen rather than a security screen; if you want both on one window, SecureView and Xceed security screens are also strong enough to prevent a fall when they are fitted to the frame correctly. Tell us the window is in a child's room and we will quote it that way.

Can a window screen be made without a bar across the middle?

For most windows, yes. We can supply oversized panels without a mid-rail, which is how the Paddington louvre screen and the Pimpama enclosure panels (over 2.4 m by 1.4 m) were done. Very large or unusual frames are checked at the measure, and where a rail is unavoidable we tell you before you order.

Do window security screens still let the breeze through?

Yes. Stainless and perforated aluminium mesh let air and light through while stopping insects and people, and the grille products have fly mesh behind the grille. The view and airflow differ by product, which is why the compare page lists them side by side. On the coast, 316 stainless mesh also handles salt air.
