What Mesh Type Is Best for Window Screens?
The right mesh depends on your priority: insect protection, security, or both. Fibreglass is budget-friendly and suits Canberra's warm summers, popular in Tuggeranong and Belconnen. Aluminium offers more durability for higher-traffic windows. T316 marine-grade stainless steel gives maximum strength and corrosion resistance, ideal for Gungahlin or Woden. Alucom Security Doors & Screens supplies all three mesh types, custom-cut and fitted on-site.
Security Mesh Screens vs Fly Screens
These are two distinct products. Fly screens use lightweight fibreglass or aluminium mesh to keep insects out while allowing airflow. Security screens use high-tensile stainless steel or perforated aluminium mesh, a reinforced frame, and a tested fixing system to resist forced entry. Canberra homes facing street-level or busy corridors like Northbourne Avenue or Flemington Road may benefit most. Both options are available from
Alucom's aluminium security screens range and
fly screens range.
Do Window Security Screens Comply With Australian Standards?
Quality security screens meet Australian Standard AS5039, the benchmark for security screen products. The Building Code of Australia also requires windows 2 metres or more above ground to open no wider than 12.5 cm unless protected by a screen rated to withstand 25 kg of pressure at three points. This child-fall rule matters most for two-storey homes common in Gungahlin and the Molonglo Valley. SecureView and Xceed products from Alucom Security Doors & Screens meet this code, giving families reliable child-safety protection.
