Home security is a concern for everyone, even in the relatively safe, family-friendly Gold Coast and Tweed Heads region. Burglary / break and enter is one of the most common crimes in the area.

What are security screens for windows?
Typical fly screens allow ventilation while keeping insects out, but offer little to no protection against intruders that are determined to break into your home. Security screens on the other hand, are designed and built to withstand heavy blows, cutting, tampering and other forms of attack. Nowadays they are also a lot more visually appealing than the bulky, dated designs of the past and can integrate seamlessly with the style and décor of modern homes.
What are security screens for windows? They are a particular style of window screen designed to provide a superior level of protection for these vulnerable access points. Like typical window screens, window security screens allow light in while keeping insects and other pests out. However, they are built from stronger materials. Security screens for windows add a robust physical barrier that makes it a lot more difficult for intruders to gain entry, while still allowing sunlight and airflow.
Benefits of window security screens
What are security screens for windows’ biggest advantages? Goldco® Security’s window security screens are made to suit the lifestyle and conditions of the Gold Coast and Tweed Heads region. Advantages you can expect include:
Better home security
Window security screens are far stronger than fly screens and are tightly fixed to the frames so they cannot be cut or levered. A window security screen slows down an intruder and makes the process of breaking in a lot tougher, providing the police more time to arrive. Sometimes the sight of a security screen on a window is enough to deter a would-be intruder.
Ventilation
In the warm climate in South East Queensland, a home with adequate ventilation is essential. Security screens allow you to keep your windows open day and night for airflow without compromising security.
Insect protection
Insects are a problem in the region, especially during the warmer months and in homes close to the Coast’s many canals and waterways. Security screens protect your windows just as well as standard fly screens do, but with increased strength.
Child safety
Window security screens help keep your whole family, including your children, safe not only by barring intruders but by preventing falls from windows.
Higher property value
Quality security screens can make your property more attractive to potential buyers and increase its resale value.
