Security screens or safety screens come in myriad types depending upon the material and varied functions, for instance, doors and windows.

Stainless Steel Security Screen

The mesh of the security screen is made of strands of stainless screen intertwined with each other making a crisscross pattern from 8 to 18 mesh per inch. A stainless screen is durable and has a longer life than any other material. Stainless steel security screen is best for houses that are near coastal areas. Any other alloyed metal near coastal areas is prone to galvanic reaction. The galvanic reaction leads to rusting and corrosion of the alloyed metal. The corroded screen is inefficient, not durable, and hazardous to health. For this reason, it is recommended to install a stainless-steel security mesh for maximum thickness and a stronger mesh matrix. Stainless steel mesh is strong enough to have anti-theft and anti-insect performance.

Perforated Aluminum Slats

Perforated Aluminum security slat is a strong and resistant product. As the name suggests, the metal slat has small hole punches of varying size and shapes. The holes allow the influx of airflow and vision without compromising security. In commercial applications customer can still view merchandise after normal business hours but burglars understand the store is well protected and “smash and grab” theft is not an option. The punched slats system provides anti-dynamic impact and is highly protective to knife shear. You can customize the panels according to your doors, windows and showroom for commercial and residential purposes.

Stainless steel security screen is coated with a black powder coat paint to provide an overall aesthetic look. The dark color of black powder reduces eye glare and blocks exterior vision to the inside. The dark color won’t be compromising on ventilation or visibility, and produces a sleek look for commercial or residential units.
