When you add security doors and window screens to your home, you know you’re adding lots of positives such as security screens and doors ventilation:
People often worry about security screens and doors ventilation: Will they affect the airflow? Security screens cover some of your window’s open space because of the mesh. However, many of our screens have large enough openings to let the air in and insects out.
When you put in security screens, you can leave your windows wide open all day and night even when you’re not around. This means air keeps flowing non-stop letting your home breathe and stay cool day and night. Instead of having to shut all your windows when you head out or go to bed, security screens give you peace of mind while making sure fresh air moves around all the time.
If you don’t have security screens, you need to shut your windows before you go out to stop break-ins. Also, at night, you have to close the windows to stay safe, which cuts off air flow when your house might need it the most. This not takes up time but also leaves your house without any fresh air for a while. But if you have security screens, your home can get fresh air all the time, which helps to keep it from getting too hot and stuffy.
Do Different Security Screen Styles Offer Different Airflow?
Yes, the type of security screen you choose can impact airflow. For example, ForceField® stainless steel security screens have an aperture (the size of each hole) of 1.62mm, providing a 42.5% open area. In contrast, Protec perforated aluminium screens have a larger aperture of 2.0mm, offering a 40% open area. While both provide excellent security and ventilation, subtle differences in design allow you to choose the option that best suits your airflow needs.
Ultimately, security screens are a great investment for improving home safety without sacrificing fresh air, ensuring your home stays cool and comfortable at all times.
