Should You Repair or Replace Your Flyscreens?

Living on the Sunshine Coast means enjoying sea breezes, salty air, and coastal beauty—but it also means your home needs protection from the very things that make the coast special. That’s why choosing the right security screen door isn’t just a box to tick—it’s an investment in your home’s safety, durability, and lifestyle.

At Suncoast Security Screens, we often help homeowners looking for a screen that can handle strong winds, corrosive salt air, and still look great. Whether you’re in a beachfront property or a little further inland, having a security solution that suits the Sunshine Coast’s unique climate is crucial.

Our top recommendation? The SecureView SaltWater Series.

Why SecureView Stands Out

Made from 316 marine-grade stainless steel, this screen is purpose-built for coastal conditions. It’s tested to resist corrosion for over 3,000 hours in harsh environments and doesn’t rely on metal-to-metal contact, which can lead to rust in cheaper screen designs. It’s one of the only options we trust for true coastal performance.

Unlike standard mesh options, SecureView’s design keeps insects out, allows breezes in, and enhances your home's security—without compromising your views or curb appeal. It’s as tough as it is sleek, which is a big reason why it's a favourite among Sunshine Coast homeowners.

What Our Sunshine Coast Clients Love

  • It’s sleek, modern, and doesn’t block views. You can enjoy your outlook without feeling closed in.
  • Available in custom colours—including popular finishes like Black Ace, ensuring it blends seamlessly with your home’s style.
  • The three-point locking system adds an extra layer of security, giving you peace of mind whether you're at home or away.
  • It works on sliding, hinged, and window screens—perfect for every part of the home, from entryways to patios and bedrooms.

We often hear from customers who made the mistake of installing cheaper screens that just didn’t last. Many competitors use lower-grade stainless steel or designs that increase wear over time. While they may look similar at first glance, they won’t hold up the way SecureView does—especially within 500 metres of the coastline. It really does pay to do your research when it comes to choosing the best security screens for your home.

Designed for the Coast, Built for Security

One of the biggest threats to a home on the Sunshine Coast is salt corrosion. The closer you live to the ocean, the more exposure your fixtures and fittings have to salt-laden air. This can cause rapid deterioration in inferior products. The SecureView SaltWater Series is designed specifically with this in mind, making it one of the few products truly suited to coastal homes.

Security is another major consideration. A security screen door should never just be a flyscreen with a lock—it needs to be engineered to withstand force, tampering, and intrusion attempts. SecureView’s innovative design, combined with quality materials, ensures it meets Australian Standards for security and durability.

Long-Term Value for Your Home

While it’s tempting to save a bit of money upfront, lower-grade security screens often need replacing sooner and don’t offer the same level of protection. Investing in a high-quality screen like SecureView means fewer repairs, longer life, and better performance in harsh conditions.

It also enhances your property’s value. When it comes time to sell, buyers notice the details—and a modern, secure entryway is a big tick for any potential homeowner. Not to mention, it improves ventilation and natural light flow throughout your home, which is ideal for coastal living.

Choosing the Right Installer

The performance of your security screen door depends just as much on the installation as it does on the product itself. At Suncoast Security Screens, we’re locally based and understand the challenges of Sunshine Coast properties. Our team ensures every screen is custom measured and fitted to suit your exact needs.

We don’t just install and leave—we guide you through caring for your screen, understanding its features, and making the most of your investment.
