A multi-functional front door screen has really enhanced this family's summer living. Having previously fitted insect screens in their bedrooms two summers ago, which kept out the annoying mozzies and let the fresh air in on hot, sticky nights. They decided this worked so well for them that they wanted screens for their whole house, especially in the living area.
Working with HomePlus the result was retractable insect screens for the living room windows, which the whole family, including the kids, find easy to use. When it came to choosing a screen for the front door they leveraged the experience and sound advice of the HomePlus team and chose a Clearguard security door screen, for its many benefits including its built-in insect screen.
Now with a simple turn of the lock, the Clearguard door keeps their pets and kids secure inside their home, whilst unwanted bugs and visitors are kept at bay. Very quickly they appreciated that they were free to leave their front door open all day in summer, letting the fresh air flow through the house, safe in the knowledge the house was secured by the Clearguard security door.
The door isn’t closed until they go to bed now, so they can enjoy the cool night air and no longer need to close up the house and run the air conditioning unit, making for lower power bills. Being semi-translucent screens has also led to more natural light entering the home and ensuring that anyone approaching the door can be easily seen.
They are very pleased that they followed the advice on the security door, having enjoyed the many benefits of the multi-featured security screen and the enhancements to their summer lifestyle.
