We have found that home-buyers discover door and window screens can be lacking and it can be a cost saving if these already fitted to the home. While it may have never entered your mind when looking at homes, take the time to consider what’s on the windows and doors. It may not be a deal breaker for you but it may save you some dollars in the future.

Here are a few easy things to keep in mind (along with everything else you are looking at !) and some other great home inspection tips here.

Are there basic flyscreens on the windows and doors? Fresh air in , bugs out !

How is the condition of these screens? Screens can be repaired if the frames are in good condition.

Will a good clean improve them? Door and window screens can collect dirt over time which can detracts from the overall appearance.

Is there a security screen on the window that you may think you would leave open for fresh air? Peace of mind with a fixed security screen.

How about the front door? Can you open the main door to let in the breeze without pets and children wandering off? What sort of condition is the door in ? A well maintained, quality, security screen door will tick these boxes.

Happy house hunting and feel free to contact us if you have any queries on door and window screens.

Security doors – are you locking yours when you go out?

As the the weather warms up we tend to get relaxed with home security and security doors. We leave things open to keep the house cool while we’re out participating in outdoor activities. So when you are out and about enjoying the warmer climate, don’t forget to lock your security doors.

Police often see offences where an opportunistic offender has taken advantage of unsecured doors and windows. We like to remind people to make sure their properties are properly secured. With many homes now having access directly from a garage , leaving the garage door open can provide another point of entry. We install many security doors to these access points.

Maybe get to know your neighbours. It can play a big role in preventing offences. You and your neighbours can keep an eye out on each other’s houses, when you are home and perhaps even when you are on holiday.

Cleaning Invis-gard security screens and doors

Screens and doors, surprisingly, can gather dust and grime. Summer is nearly here and are you opening your windows and doors? When cleaning your security screens you should always use a soft bristled brush, mild soapy mains water and rinse them clean. (Don’t use abrasives or corrosives). Rinse well with mains water to remove any detergent residue. Check to ensure ALL residue is flushed from the mesh retaining areas of the frame.

Tip – when cleaning , check the screens and doors to make sure there is no damage to the hardware, fixings or framework because that could interfere with security effectiveness.

PetWay – what size for my pet?

Most people tend to overestimate the size of the door needed. The pet door wont sit level with the floor so your pet will need to “step over” the bottom of the door frame.

Measuring your pet to the shoulders (not the top of the head) is the best way to decide on pet door height and allow an extra 1-2cm .
