Decorative Window Screens

When you think of a security window screen, what comes to mind? Do you think of big, heavy looking grills that cover your window or mesh-like screen that is a real pain in the neck to clean? Worse still, do you imagine rusting metal bars lowering the value of your house? The good news is that now there are window screens that will give you security while also looking good, plus giving you a number of other benefits you may not have considered.
Today, good quality screens are often made out of one piece of pressed stainless steel, pre-treated with an anti corrosion treatment and then powder coated. To further prevent any galvanic corrosion, the screen sheet is completely covered with a PVC membrane before it is put into the extruded aluminium frame. This type of quality product virtually eliminates corrosion so your money is well spent on a good looking product, without obstructing your view.
This type of window screen is also extremely easy to clean as the pressed steel does not easily collect grime and debris. This is very different to the mesh type screens which can trap grime resulting in plenty of cleaning.
