A damp home is an unhealthy home. That’s what happens when you close up your house to keep out intruders, be they human or insect. Sure, you’ll keep them out. But you’ll also keep out the fresh air you need to create a well-ventilated home. Without that air flow, mould and mildew will thrive in the damp conditions, and your family’s health could suffer as a result. For example, chronic asthma and other respiratory conditions are often linked to damp homes, as are ongoing colds and sniffles.
Artarmon Doors and Screens have the solution. Our security screens and doors will keep out the pests, but will let in fresh air. A perfect example is Protec security doors and security window screens, made by Prowler Proof. The perforations in the super-tough mesh are just the right size; small enough to keep out insects, but big enough to promote excellent airflow through your home.
The mesh on our security screens does cover some of the open space of a window, but this is balanced out by being able to leave your windows fully open right throughout the day. Even on hot summer nights, you’ll sleep easier with a nice breeze coming into the house. You’ll sleep even better knowing that you’re still safe and secure even with the windows open.
Without security screens and doors, you will need to close up all the windows and doors when you go out. You then have to open them all up again when you get home. Only for you to have to close them again when you go to bed. During this time, there is no airflow coming through the house, and the internal environment changes as a result. That’s the price you pay for closing and locking conventional doors and windows. Of course, your security is important, but there’s a better way of doing things.
You’re not the bad guy. You’re trying to keep the bad guys out. But in doing so, you can create a prison-like environment that makes you feel like you’re locked up. That’s not how things should be in your own home. Our security screens and doors are the best way to keep your home feeling breezy and open, without compromising your security.
As a bonus, letting the breeze in for longer will create a drier home. That’s why, when you invest in our security screens and doors, you’re getting two benefits for the price of one: a far more secure home, and a far healthier one.
