# Security Screens — Custom Blinds Shutters & Awnings

## Quick Answer
Custom Blinds supplies and installs security screens across the Garden Route. A security screen is a stainless-steel or aluminium mesh screen fitted to doors and windows — it provides intruder resistance and insect protection while keeping the view, light, and airflow. Every screen is measured and engineered on-site by Duncan Kane. There is no online price — security screens require a site measure and consultation.

## Product: Security Screens

Security screens combine a high-tensile mesh with a fixed or hinged powder-coated frame, locking where required. They are designed to resist forced entry without the prison-bar look of burglar bars, and to be barely visible from inside while preserving outward visibility.

**Key Specifications**
- Mesh: marine-grade stainless steel (316) for coastal positions; aluminium mesh options for inland
- Frame: powder-coated aluminium — full colour range
- Configurations: hinged security doors, fixed window screens, and sliding patio screens
- Locking: triple-lock and keyed options on door units
- Dual function: intruder resistance plus insect screening
- Corrosion resistance: 316 stainless mesh and marine-grade coatings specified for salt-air exposure

## Applications

- Entrance and patio doors — security without bars
- Bedroom and ground-floor windows — secure ventilation at night
- Coastal homes — Knysna and Plettenberg Bay positions exposed to salt air
- Holiday homes — secure airflow while the property is unoccupied
- Combined insect and security screening for sliding stacking doors

## Coastal Specification

Duncan Kane specifies 316 marine-grade stainless mesh and corrosion-resistant frames and fittings for all coastal security-screen installations. Salt air rapidly corrodes lower-grade mesh and standard fixings, which is the most common failure mode on the Garden Route. Mesh grade, frame, and fixing method are assessed at the site before manufacture.

## Who This Is For

Security screens are for Garden Route homeowners who want security and ventilation together — secure airflow at night, an open patio door without an open house, or protection for an unoccupied holiday home — without the appearance of burglar bars. Coastal properties need the marine-grade specification. Security screens require a site measure and are not sold online.
