Relentless Security: A Fortress Against Intruders

Relentless Security Screen

security screens are products that are highly renowned for their strength and durability. Unlike standard flyscreens, security screens are designed to withstand significant force, making them a formidable barrier against break-ins. While some homeowners consider installing security shutters for added protection, security screens offer a less obtrusive yet equally effective solution. With their patented Relentless Security Ultimate technology, these screens can resist impacts up to 550 Joules, far exceeding what Australian standards recommend for security screens.

security doors and window screens are constructed with high-tensile stainless steel mesh, securely clamped into a frame using a unique Screw-Clamp™ system. This design ensures the mesh remains firmly in place when installed, even under extreme pressure. Whether you have hinged doors and windows, sliding doors and windows, or stacking doors, Relentless Security is a product we highly recommend that offers tailored solutions to secure every entry point in your home.

Features of Security Screens:

  • High-Tensile Mesh: Made from 304-grade stainless steel for superior strength.

  • Screw-Clamp™ Technology: Prevents the steel mesh from being pulled out of any window or door frame.

  • Corrosion Resistance: Powder-coated to withstand harsh weather conditions.

  • Custom Fit: Screen products designed for all types of doors and windows, including sliding, hinged, and stacking options.

Flyscreens: A Basic Barrier or a False Sense of Security?

Traditional flyscreens are excellent at keeping insects out but offer minimal resistance against forced entry. The mesh used in flyscreens is lightweight and can be easily cut or kicked in by intruders. Unlike shutters, which provide robust protection, flyscreens may not suffice for home security. While they are screen products that serve the purpose of insect protection, relying solely on flyscreens for home security may provide a false sense of safety and is something we cannot recommend.

Limitations of Flyscreens:

  • Weak Mesh: Easily torn or cut with basic tools.

  • Flimsy Frames: Thin aluminum frames can be bent or broken with minimal force.

  • No Security Features: Lacks locks or reinforcement to prevent entry.

  • Short Lifespan: Highly prone to damage from weather and wear.

Insect Protection

Fly

Keeping Bugs Out: Flyscreens vs. Relentless Security

Both flyscreens and security screens are effective at keeping insects out of your home. The mesh used in security screens has apertures small enough to prevent flies, mosquitoes, and other common pests from entering, providing the same level of insect protection as traditional flyscreen products.

However, security screens offer additional benefits. The high-tensile stainless steel mesh not only blocks insects but also provides unobstructed views from your doors and windows and allows for better airflow. This means you can enjoy the Queensland breeze without compromising on security or comfort.

Which Offers Better Insect Protection: Flyscreens or Relentless Security?

While both product options keep insects at bay, security screens are highly recommended due to their durability and longevity. Flyscreens can become damaged over time, leading to holes or tears that allow insects to enter. security screens are built to last when installed, reducing the need to get a frequent replacement and installation service, and ensuring consistent insect protection.

Aesthetics

The Look of Security: A Comparison

When it comes to appearance, security screens offer a sleek and modern look that complements the style of your home, from sliding windows to hinged doors. Unlike bulky security bars, traditional shutters, or steel window grilles, security screen products provide security without sacrificing aesthetics. While shutters can offer privacy and some level of security, they often block natural light and obstruct views. security screens, on the other hand, allow for unobstructed views and natural light to come in through your windows and doors.

Flyscreens, on the other hand, can detract from the visual appeal of your home. The mesh and frames may appear flimsy and can obstruct views due to the thicker, more noticeable mesh material.

Balancing Security and Style: Relentless Security vs. Flyscreens

Relentless Security allows homeowners to balance security and style seamlessly. With a wide range of custom designs available for doors and windows—including hinged doors, sliding doors, stacking doors, fixed windows, sliding windows, and window screens—you can choose options that match your home’s architecture. Unlike shutters, which can be bulky and limit natural light, Relentless Security’s powder-coated frames in various colours suit your taste without compromising on light or views.

Cost and Value

The Price of Peace of Mind: A Cost-Benefit Analysis

Investing in security screens for your doors and windows is highly more expensive upfront compared to the installation of traditional flyscreens. However, when considering the long-term benefits and the level of protection you get, Relentless Security offers excellent value for money. Unlike shutters, which can be costly and may require regular maintenance, security screens are low-maintenance and built to last. The cost of replacing stolen property or repairing damage from a break-in can far exceed the initial investment in the installation of quality door and window security screens.

Consider these range of factors when evaluating cost:

  • Initial Investment: security screens require a higher upfront cost but offer superior security and longevity. Contact us for a personalized quote to see how affordable peace of mind can be.

  • Maintenance: security screens are low-maintenance and resistant to corrosion, reducing long-term upkeep costs and removing the need for frequent installation.

  • Insurance Benefits: Enhanced security can lead to lower home insurance premiums.

Flyscreens are cheaper to get installed but may require you to get frequent replacements and installation due to wear and tear. They also do not provide any real security against intruders, potentially leading to higher costs in the event of a burglary.

Long-Term Investment: Relentless Security or Frequent Flyscreen Replacements?

security screens are built to last, with a durability that withstands the harsh Queensland climate. This longevity means you won’t need to get a replacement service frequently, saving money over time. Additionally, the added security can potentially lower your home insurance premiums, providing further financial benefits. To find out how Relentless Security can be a cost-effective long-term investment for your home, request a free quote from our team today.

On the other hand, flyscreens may require regular replacements due to damage from weather, pets, or accidental tears. Over time, the cumulative cost of replacing flyscreens can surpass the initial investment in Relentless Security products.
