Today we had fly screens and security screens installed on all the windows that we are keeping in the house. We are still waiting for the new timber window to come in for the lounge room and the three aluminium ones for the bedrooms. I wrote a bit about this in my previous post, Replacing the Upstairs Windows.
We talked to a few different companies around Townsville when we were deciding who to get to install our new fly and security screens and we decided to go with Garry Neven Blinds, which has about mid-range pricing but they also had more specialized screens that would fit better into our nice timber windows in the lounge room. I haven’t been over to check them out yet, but we will be heading over tomorrow morning, at which point I will try to take some photos of them.
We also got a “Super Mesh” screen installed on the front door. This is a security screen door without the metal grill throughout the entire thing. This is supposed to look better and hopefully not cover up the nice timber door that’s on the front of the house.
Here are the details for Garry Neven Blinds if you are looking for some good security screens here in Townsville:

I don’t get anything from them for mentioning them, but let them know where you found out about them since they don’t even have a web-site at the moment.

[...] In one of my previous posts, Security and Fly Screens, you can read how we put on a screen door on the main (centre) door. For some reason so many houses here are not screened, even though there are a lot of miscitoes and even a few airborn diseases that they can carry. I’ve never really understood that. [...]
