Picking out the right colour for your security doors and screen that works round the clock guarding your property, is more than just looks. The shade and finish that you pick affects the maintenance, comfort, and resale value significantly.
This thorough guide walks you through practical tips, finish families, and why a professional expert like AAA can help you install doors, windows, and mesh for durability and peace of mind.
Tips for Security Door and Screen Colours
- Mirror the Existing Rim: Try to match the new shade to your roof edges, gutters, or windows so that the entire home looks consistent and unified.
- Always Test Chips Outdoors: Check the colour samples on your actual property in broad daylight since showroom LED lights can often be misleading.
- Balance of Heat & Shade: Keep in mind that dark colours soak up the heat, while light ones keep screen frames way cooler.
- Match the Sheen to Traffic: Satin finishes help hide smudges while a glossy coat highlights scratches on the doors of homes frequently visited.
- Make Space for Future Upgrades: If you plan on repainting your home soon, choose a neutral colour that could fit future style preferences.
Types of Colours and Finishes Simplified
-
Anodic Finish:
If your property is near a coastal area or exposed to the harsh sun, an anodic metallic colour is the toughest ally that your security screen could have. The electro-chemical process offers a solid oxide layer within the aluminium itself, so any scratches would remain invisible to the eye.
Bronze and natural silver shades look more crisp beside contemporary render, while their low-shine surfaces bounce away the heat from north-facing windows.
You should choose Anodic when you want minimal upkeep, longer warranty coverage, and a subtle designer vibe that upgrades your entire home appearance.
-
Excel Finish:
Are you renovating your suburban home and want every element - the roof, gutters, garage, and doors to match? Excel powder-coat is ideal for you as it is shade-matched to tie your façade together. Because the finish is a premium polyester, the colour holds fast even in punishing UV.
Excel works like a dream for high-traffic security doors where kids slam the screen shut daily; the satin surface hides fingerprints while giving the property a cohesive, architectural look.
-
Living Finish:
If you prefer a tactile feel? Living textures add a micro-grain that you can see and touch. The muted matte hue reduces glare that might otherwise bounce off nearby glass windows, and the fine texture masks dust on the screen frame.
Rustic structures, industrial spaces, and bushland retreats all benefit, because the slightly "weathered" finish blends easily with the natural timber and stone found around the home.
Practical bonus: less polishing on the doors and more time to actually enjoy your property.
-
Custom Colours:
Sometimes only a bespoke shade will work for your property. You can customise your security screen and windows in the shade that you prefer or need.
Yes, the time to finish it might stretch a little, but the pay-off is a signature colour that lifts the entire?home and sets it apart from all the other properties on the street.
Still Unsure About Which Colour?
- Use online visualisers to layer various colours on a photo of your home.
- Borrow from nature - gum-leaf green for bushland property or sandy beige by the coast.
- Start with the finish and texture first, then move on to colour choices. This trick helps streamline screen selection.
- Seek a second opinion either from a friend or better yet an expert as they may be able to spot clashes between the window rim and screen powder-coating that you might have missed.
