Most Brisbane homeowners screen the entire house at once to get the best value. Here's what a typical 3-4 bedroom home costs for a complete screen package (2 doors + 8-12 windows):

What Affects the Price?

1. Mesh Type

Aluminium grille is cheapest. Stainless steel 316 mesh is mid-range. stainless steel security screens Tensile Tuff is premium.

2. Brand

stainless steel security screens, Prowler Proof, and Amplimesh command a premium for patented technology and warranties.

3. Size

Oversized doors and wide windows cost more. Bi-fold and stacking systems multiply per panel.

4. Colour

Standard colours (black, white, grey) are cheapest. Custom powder-coat colours add $50-$150 per item.

5. Locks

Standard single-point locks are included. Triple-lock systems add $80-$200 for extra security.

6. Extras

Pet doors, vision-restricted mesh, bushfire-rated mesh, and self-closing hinges all add cost.

7. Quantity

Doing the whole house at once is better value per unit than one door at a time. Ask about package deals.

8. Access

Multi-storey homes or difficult access (e.g., scaffolding needed) increase installation cost.

9. Old Screen Removal

Removing and disposing of old screens is usually included, but check — some installers charge extra.

Is It Worth It? ROI Calculation

Security screens are one of the few home improvements that actually pay for themselves. Here's the maths for a typical mid-range full-house installation at $7,500:

Insurance premium savings $100 – $300/year
Energy bill reduction (cooling) ~$120/year
Property value increase +$10,000 – $20,000
Annual savings (conservative) ~$320/year
Over 15-year lifespan $4,800 in savings + property uplift

When you factor in the property value increase at resale, quality security screens more than pay for themselves over their 15-20 year lifespan. Read our energy savings guide →
