Woven steel mesh screens are increasingly popular as add-ons to doors and windows, and not just for the protection they provide from crime. They are a see-through, barely noticeable means of blocking out the worst of summer (insects, animals, heat, UV damage) and letting in the best (light, fresh air, great views).

The Trellidor range offers beautiful screen designs at different price points. Here are five reasons to choose them to solve problems relating to the environment without neglecting security.

1 Attractive home fixtures

Security screens have a more practical purpose, which is to provide protection from a variety of threats, but Trellidor security screens are also decorative. The slim frame and black mesh panel are sleek, appealing, and fit seamlessly into any style of home. The frame can be powder-coated in a colour chosen to suit the client’s décor. Views are clearly visible through the mesh, so the security function is never obvious.

•  Durable and corrosion resistant

Trellidor security screens are made to last. The woven steel mesh strands are coated to protect them from the elements. The aluminium frame is treated against corrosion before powder coating, adding another layer of protection against deterioration. This is a security screen with a high-quality finish that will provide many years of protection, both at the coast and inland.

3 Choice of strength and price

All products in the Trellidor security screen range are designed to be effective barriers against break-in attempts. The difference between them is in the internal strengthening features. The choice of model will depend on where the client’s home is located. High-crime-zone homes are best secured with Trellidor Clear Guard, while homes in secure estates are more suitable for the lower-priced Trellidor GriffinGuard.

4 Multi-purpose screening

Security screens are useful in keeping insects, snakes, monkeys and baboons out of homes. They are an excellent deterrent against house-breaking and petty theft. They screen out up to 60% of the sun’s UV rays to help control internal temperatures, improve energy efficiency, reduce glare, and shield furniture from damage. They allow air to flow freely into the premises but block out high winds.

5 Customised configurations

Trellidor security screens are made to measure and manufactured in a configuration to suit the window or door type. Options include fixed panels, hinged screens, French doors and windows, bi-folds, and sliding units. They are custom-fitted to guarantee a high-quality installation that includes after-sales service unsurpassed in the security industry.
