Residential screen doors come in many varieties, from traditional hinged screens to sliding screen patio doors to heavy-duty security screens. Acting as a secondary barrier for your home’s front door, these screens offer many advantages in the Gold Coast and Tweed Heads region. Depending on the type, home screen doors can provide protection from intruders and insects, allow outdoor breezes to cool your home down with natural airflow, allow your pets to come and go and brighten your home with natural light and visibility.
Goldco® Security provides high-quality screen doors throughout the Gold Coast and Tweed Heads region. A company that has been manufacturing and supplying security screens since the 1980s, Goldco® Security supplies and installs the full range of Australian-made Amplimesh® security screens. Our goal is to provide you with the highest level of security and peace of mind along with exceptional personalised customer service.
This article is the Goldco® Security guide to three of the most common types of residential screen doors: security screen doors, fly screen doors and pet doors. We look at the advantages of each of these main types to help you decide which one would best suit your household.
Security screen doors
Security screen doors are one of the best investments you can make to protect your family and improve the safety of your home. Unlike regular fly screens, which are designed to keep insects out while allowing ventilation, security screens are built from heavy-duty materials to withstand knife shears, jemmy attacks and other forms of forced entry.
Benefits
A higher level of home security
In Australia, security screen doors need to pass several tests to meet the Australian Standard 5039-2023 including the dynamic impact, knife shear and jemmy test. This gives them an enhanced level of strength and security. Goldco® Security’s security screen doors are built from robust materials like high-tensile marine-grade stainless steel mesh with extruded aluminium frames and triple locking systems.
Increased property value
Safety is in demand, and having a reliable security screen on your front door can increase the resale value of your home.
Durable materials
Houses near the coastline are exposed to elements like salty air and harsh sunlight. Goldco® Security’s security screens are built with corrosion-resistant materials designed to withstand the damage these elements can cause.
Recommended for: Homeowners in coastal or high-risk neighbourhoods, families with young children and pets, and people who want to stay safe while making the most of their home’s natural ventilation.
Fly screen doors
A fly screen door is a simple invention but one that can dramatically improve the quality of your daily life. It allows you to enjoy cool evening breezes without having to deal with the types of insects that are all too common on the Gold Coast and Tweed Heads region during the summer months.
Benefits
Comfort and hygiene
Fly screens allow you to enjoy natural ventilation while keeping insects such as flies, mosquitoes and moths out of your home. They help you maintain hygiene in your home by stopping these insects from finding their way into your kitchen and dining area.
Savings and increased value
Fly screen doors improve your home’s energy efficiency by reducing your reliance on artificial cooling, which can make a substantial difference to your power bills. Fly screens can also raise the resale value of your home.
Recommended for: Homeowners close to insect-prone areas like beaches and canals, people looking for effective ventilation on a budget and those who are concerned about hygiene.
Pet doors
Pet doors make it easy to manage the movement of your furry friends in and out of the home. They give your pets the independence that they need to thrive. A pet door is a convenient addition to your home that can fit in an already installed screen door.
Benefits
Convenience and cleanliness
Pet doors give your beloved dog or cat the freedom to come and go, so you do not have to spend your time monitoring them. This is useful late at night or when you are out of the house and reduces the risk of accidents occurring inside the home.
Happier and healthier pets
Pet doors allow your dog to access the yard whenever they need to, giving them plenty of opportunity to exercise and reducing the chance of destructive behaviours like scratching.
Recommended for: Pet owners of all kinds, especially those who are working or busy.
