Your screens fight two enemies:
intruders, and salt air.
Any decent screen resists a break-in on day one. The Newcastle question is what it looks like after five summers of sea air, and that comes down to which mesh you chose. We help you choose it right the first time.
Which mesh survives the coast?
The three common infills, compared on the things that actually decide the choice. This is the conversation a good quote starts with.
| Infill | Security | Look and visibility | Coastal suitability | Relative cost |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Stainless-steel mesh | The benchmark: woven 316-grade stainless resists cutting and impact. | Nearly invisible from inside; keeps views and light. | Best near the water when marine-grade (316) and properly isolated from the frame. | Highest |
| Perforated aluminium | Strong sheet infill that meets security-screen standards in tested systems. | Slightly more visible than woven mesh; fine from normal distance. | Naturally corrosion-resistant: a strong coastal choice at a lower price. | Middle |
| Diamond grille | A visual deterrent more than a tested barrier: fine for low-risk openings. | Clearly visible bars; the traditional look. | Powder-coated aluminium versions cope; steel versions rust-streak near the beach. | Lowest |
Two suburbs can need different answers: Merewether's salt load is not Wallsend's. That is why the quote asks where you are, not just what you want.
What we do
- Window security screens: fixed and openable, sized to each window, in the mesh that suits your street.
- Security screen doors: hinged and sliding, tested systems with three-point locking.
- Fly and midge screens: where the job is insects rather than intruders, priced accordingly.
- Replacement mesh and repairs: frames often outlive their mesh; re-meshing beats replacing.

The openings, and the suburb: distance from salt water changes the advice.
