What Is Quality in Screens and Window Blinds?

Window Blinds

One of the first things we hear about when discussing about any product is quality. But what exactly does this mean? Most of us probably have a good general sense of what this means, but would be unable to give a concise definition. Does it mean longer lasting, reliable, more attractive, easier to use, made of a rare material, designed by a famous, reputable name? And how do we know about things like reliability in advance? Perhaps these things are all components of quality. But even so, they should have something in common, or something linking them together.

Quality seems to have something to do with everything fitting together. This may be the common link in many of the aforementioned components of quality.

Ease of use – If something is well designed it will work well, partly because all of its parts will neatly fit together and work well. It should also fit well with its surroundings i.e.:(a blind will neatly fit over a window).

Ease of use also means being designed for a human to easily use. This means being able to use the blind as a reflex action. You shouldn’t have to figure anything out, it is not a puzzle. You just press the switch or pull the cord to open and lose the blind, and let the right amount of light in.

Quality should include looking attractive. This is partly subjective, but even then the subjectivity may be about what we associate with quality. We might think that plastic looks cheap, or that leather looks luxurious. This is some basis for this preference, because plastic was once the cheap and nasty option, and leather was a tried and true material. Today, even plastic can give quite good results.

Often we can replace a window cover or add a screen door with minimal trouble. It is not a major renovation. But occasionally we might install a door or window in a wall. We need to be sure this will not cause a structural issue. Some walls directly support the structure of the building. A few other walls are just there to divide or create rooms. These can be modified without causing harm to the rest of the building.

Fly Screen Mesh Window

If we want to add a fly screen mesh frame of any kind to a window there should not be a problem. These screens will not require any serious modification to the windows, or to the structure of the building. external shutters will require some DIy skills, but they will not alter the windows themselves.

Security Doors Fly Screen Mesh

Security doors offer many advantages. They allow air to circulate though the house while keeping the insects and potential intruders out. We recommend them for any home.

One feature that is often overlooked is that security doors do not usually require much modification to the door or frame. We can provide a security door that fits exactly over a front or back door.

Window blinds should not require any serious modification to the window or frame. They can be fitted by most DIY practitioners. Just be sure to order the blind in exactly the right size.

Check for Load Bearing Walls

If we add a window or door to a building we must be careful if it is a load bearing wall. These walls support the roof and upper floors. So we cannot alter them unless we are sure that will continue to provide support.

External walls are almost always load bearing. We do not advise adding a window or door to these, unless you employ a professional builder.

– Any wall that has beam that reach into the foundation/basement will be a load bearing wall.
– Any wall that goes though several floors will be load bearing.
– If the building has a lot of floor space there will be a load bearing wall somewhere in the middle.
– Home Extension to home can be confusing, but the walls where the original building joins the extension will be load bearing.

Curtain walls can modified without affecting the rest of the building. But there is usually reason to add a screen to these.

Fly Screen Mesh

It is a simple matter to add blinds, fly screens and security doors to a home without affecting the basic structure of the building.

A modern window will always have glass, which can usually be opened to allow the air in. We can add to this to increase the function of the window.

At different times we might want to:

– Let the light in.
– Block the light out for protection against the Sun and privacy.
– Partially block the light out for privacy
– Open the windows to let the air in
– Open the windows for air, but keep insects out.
– Completely close windows to allow air conditioning to work
– Completely close windows and block light for privacy.
– Block out all light for sleeping, or to use a home theater.

Fly Screen Frame

Fly screens are an old, simple yet effective invention. They prevent insect from entering the home. Modern screens that are permanently attached also provide security, because the mesh is strong enough to keep intruders out, and to keep infants inside.

For fly Screens we might consider:

– Magnetic Fly screen frames that can be removed in winter months.
– Retractable fly screens that can either cover the window, of stay in a carriage above he window
– Sliding fly screens that let half the window be covers. Some of these can provide security mesh to keep intruders out.
– Permanent screens, which usually provide security mesh.

Fly Screens let light and air in while keeping your home safe from insects and criminals.

Fly Screen doors keep insects out even when the main door is open. Security doors with strong mesh will also keep intruders out and infants or the elderly inside.

Window Blinds.

Window blinds can block all light, or allow most of the light in while providing privacy. Some types blinds provide both options.

– Roller blinds are fitted above the window. Close them for privacy, open them for more light.
– Zebra blinds have alternating bands of dark and light material. They allow light in while keeping privacy, or block all light when closed.
– Venetian blinds can be opened or closed for privacy, and to block the light. They are simple to use and very reliable. They also allow air circulation.

Dual Roller Window Blinds

Dual blinds give the benefits of two types of blind, in virtually the same space as one set or regular blind.

Regular blinds usually give you two options, closing the blinds to block out all light, which offers privacy, or opening the blinds to let light in. The light blocking on most of these blinds is complete, the room will be dark if all the blinds are closed.

Some other blinds offer an alternative – they offer privacy with a translucent blinds but still let light in during the day.

Dual blinds give you three options:

– Total light blocking, a dark room with privacy. This is good if you want the room to be dark during the day, and want privacy at night.
– Partial light blocking, privacy so nobody can see in, but most of the sunlight coming in from the outside.
– Open blinds, which give you all the light through the window, so you can see out and others can see in.

Other advantages of Dual Rollar Window Blinds

– The blinds will stop UV light in both total blocking and partially light blocking modes. So neither you nor you furnishings are damaged by the Sun’s Rays.
– The partial and total blocking of the blinds help keep the temperature stable inside. So you save on heating and cooling costs.
– The blinds are attractive and sleek looking. With the many colour options you will always find several options to suit your decor.

Security Fly Screen Doors and Fly Screen Mesh

Are security doors and windows worth it?
Well, have an intruder proof home is certainly worth it. But the question than bothers some people is whether this will compromise the aesthetics of the home? but this is hardly a concern these days. Modern Security doors can be custom designed to complement the home decor. So you will be safer inside, and your home may even look better in the process.

An added advantage of security doors is the same as the original purpose of screen doors – they allow air to circulate in the building. This means a well ventilated home in summer. while still keeping insects and potential intruder out.

The security of these modern fly screen doors comes from a combination of factors. One is the strength of the door itself, which which is a single, solid piece of metal. The other is the door-frame, which is all but immovably attached to the building. There is little point in the door being solid if the whole thing can be easily removed. The third factors is the locking system. The secure lock secures the door at three points.

Fly Screen Mesh

Screen Mesh is a simple yet highly effective way to keep out insects. It does this while still allowing air to circulate, and (like a glass window) also allows natural sunlight into the room.

And provides some safety as infants and the elderly cannot fall through a window covered with strong mesh. A home with mesh on doors and windows stops people getting in or out.

Fly Screen Frame Door

Older fly screen doors were simply there to keep the insects out. These doors were flimsy affairs made of light metal, designed only to keep the screen mesh in place. These type of screen doors have now been superseded by security doors.

Security Doors have a solid, one piece metal frame. This is as difficult to break through as a wall. When these doors are locked, and they usually have a triple lock system, they keep all potential intruders out.

Fly Screen Frame Windows

Many windows do not need high security mesh. So we have a choice of providing security with heavy mesh, or simply security with closed windows.

Venetian Window Blinds

‌‌
Blinds are functional, and can be made to suit the home decor. They are functional in that they allow us to dim or block out the light outside. And in that they allow us privacy when they are fully closed, so no one can see in. Closed blinds also help keep the inside temperature more stable, which reduces heating/cooling costs. Open blinds that allow light in reduce the cost of using electrical lighting.

Blinds can either add to the decor, if they have a pleasing and suitable design, or be unobtrusive enough to be unnoticeable, at least when they are not being used. Venetian blinds are reasonably unobtrusive when they are fully retracted; they can be simply left as a small strip at the top of the window. But they can also be designed to complement the surrounding room. Being available in timber, clean aluminium or timber style PVC, the Venetian blinds can suit many style of interior decor.

And because of their reasonable simplicity there is very little that can go wrong with Venetian blinds. They are largely maintenance free.

Australia has to deal with insects for at least a few month of the year. But it is not to difficult to keep these pests out of the house by installing fly screens frame windows and fly screen doors. Once installed these will function effectively without any issues; you will hardly notice that they are there. And if you have security doors with fly screens you will keep out potential thieves as well.

Fly Screen Doors

Older fly screen doors of a generation ago consisted of a flimsy frame fitted with fly screen mesh. Newer styles are security doors, which have solid frames and thick fly screen mesh that will prevent unwanted intruders from entering the home. Best of all these security doors look attractive, so they can be part of the decor as well as practical.

Security doors allow you to circulate air throughout the home during warmer months, while still keeping pests and criminals out. Older fly screen doors could allow air  circulation and keep insects out, but you couldn’t use them for security protection. New security doors can be locked as you leave the house, and still allows both air circulation and protection.

Retractable Fly Screens

Retractable fly screens can be easily put into place during the insect season, and either removed for storage or neatly rolled out of the way.

Fly screens allow for fresh air from outside while still keeping insects out. Strong mesh on windows also provides addition protection, preventing children from falling out windows.

Window Blinds are also a fine option if you need air circulation, but they will only let a moderate mount of light in. And they probably won’t do much to prevent insects.
