Traditional Insect Screens Are Not a Good Deterrent

Insect Near The WindowPaper-thin Defence: Traditional insect screens are typically made from fragile fiberglass or aluminium mesh. A determined intruder armed with a simple tool like a screwdriver or even a sturdy branch can easily puncture or tear through them, gaining access in a matter of seconds.

Illusion of Security: The presence of any kind of screen can give a false sense of security, lulling homeowners into a state of complacency. Burglars often target homes that appear easy to break into, and flimsy screens do scream “vulnerable.”

More than Just Bugs: While keeping out pests is a plus, relying solely on insect screens leaves your home exposed to other threats like vandalism, theft, and even potential harm to occupants.

So, what’s the alternative? Consider upgrading to security screens. 

These heavy-duty screen doors and windows are made from robust materials like stainless steel or high-tensile mesh, making them virtually impossible to break through with everyday tools. They also act as visible deterrents, discouraging potential intruders from even attempting a break-in.

Traditional Insect Screens Can Be Easily Bypassed 

Burglar

For a burglar, flimsy mesh screens are less a barrier and more an invitation. A quick jab with a screwdriver, a sturdy branch, or even a credit card (if your screens are already damaged) can tear through the mesh quite easily. 

Ground floor or easily accessible windows are prime targets, generally offering quiet entry with minimal effort. The illusion of security these screens offer lulls homeowners into a false sense of safety, leaving valuables and loved ones vulnerable. 

While standard insect screens may be a good way to keep a mosquito out, they don’t do much for keeping your family or your home safe.  

Beyond Keeping Out the Bugs

Investing in high quality security screens is about creating a stronger, more secure barrier for your loved ones and your home or business. By installing security screens like Crimsafe you’ll have peace of mind knowing that your home is protected against more than just mosquitoes, allowing you to relax and enjoy your open windows with confidence.

Homes equipped with security screens are often seen as more secure and can demand a higher price when selling. 

Beneficially, security screens come in various styles and finishes to blend seamlessly with your home’s aesthetics, offering both protection and curb appeal.

Combine Security Screens with Alternatives to Increase Your Security 

While many homeowners and business owners only consider security screens, it is important to understand that by combining high quality screen doors and windows with other security products, you can decrease the risk of your home or business being targeted. 

One of the best ways to keep your property safe is by using a layering technique – security screens, window locks, motion sensor lights, and alarm systems can all be used to create a multi-layered approach to home protection.

Investing in security screens is not just about keeping out the insects; it’s about creating a stronger, more secure barrier between your loved ones and potential threats.
