One
of the great pleasures in life is a good night’s sleep. Good ventilation is
vital to sleeping as it clears the expired CO2 from your room and brings fresh
breathing air in. Sleeping with your door or window open allows the fresh air
to flow through your bedroom and has been proven to be beneficial for sleeping
and your health.
There
are however, a couple of issues with having your door or window open, namely
bugs and security.
We’ve
all been woken to the buzzing sound of a pesky mosquito. We also need to be
mindful that an open window or door, even at night, can be an access point to
intruders. Luckily (this is a site about insect and security screens) there is
a perfectly simply way to protect yourself from both of these types of
intruders – mesh screens!
If
security isn’t a concern we have our range of pleated mesh fly screens that fit
all doors and windows. These provide a perfect barrier to all flying insects
giving you a peaceful night’s sleep.
If
you would like to feel safe when your door or window is open, our range of
stainless steel mesh security screens are the perfect solution. These tough
screens have been designed to keep bugs out while also providing a security
barrier. They do this while still maintaining a great contemporary look.

Recently
we’ve been finding that a number of villa owners are opting to install a
combination of our two primary screens. That is our secure stainless steel
screen along with our pleated retractable screen.
Commonly
we are asked to fit the tough security screen to high traffic areas or those
where the client would like to leave their glass doors and windows open. In the
other doors and windows we fit our modern pleated fly screens. These provide
insect protection only and are a great budget friendly option. In this way we
can design a total villa solution that fits within your budget and needs.
We have
also found that many people are now actively avoiding the old roll-up style
screen. These fiberglass mesh screens appear good on paper however they do not
wear well in the harsh UAE environment. They are also almost impossible to
repair. At Safety Screens we do not recommend the roll up mesh window screen.

clients and we trust he’ll be smiling while installing one of your screens!
As the
winter weather has bought its normal seasonal rains, we’ve had a few questions
asking about the best way to clean our mesh security screens. Due to their
robust construction and 0.8mm stainless steel weave, they can attract a bit of
dust, particularly after the rain.
The easiest
way to clean the screens is to simply dust of the dry sand and dust with a soft
brush. This will remove a large portion of the visible dust. You may need to do
this weekly.
Approximately
once a month you may need to give the screens a deeper clean. Using a sponge
and warm soapy water with a mild detergent, simply wipe down the screens to
remove all the dust that can get stuck between the mesh and in the corners.
Then wipe the mesh down with a wet cloth to remove the soap residue.
The tracks
can easily be vacuum cleaned to remove dry dust or wiped out with a wet cloth.
This simple maintenance will have your screens looking great for years to come.
The cool weather is making our screens run hot! Our screens,
particularly the pleated fly screen, have been in high demand these last few
months. They are proving extremely popular in the Dubai market. We’ve even put
on additional staff to keep up with the demand and to provide as many screens
before the Christmas holidays.
We are also getting many questions about the construction and material used in our screens. All our screens come with a robust aluminium frame that provides the user with peace of mind that they’ll last. The powder coated frame ensures they survive the tough conditions found in the UAE. The mesh screen is either a security rated stainless steel wire that is woven together or the pleated screen uses a polyester mesh. Both options provide a good barrier for flies and mosquitoes but only the stainless steel mesh is security rated.

We’ve certainly come back from our summer holidays and hit the ground running. With the summer not too brutal this year we’ve been overwhelmed with interest in our screens as people get their villas ready for winter.
Now that the summer holidays are behind us and the kids are back at school it’s time to get our villas ready for the cooler months. At Safety Screens we’ve also been getting ready for change and are proud to announce some additions to our product line.
The machines talk like electronic music in a disco. They’re loud and sparks fly. It’s not everyone’s taste but it’s a familiar rhythm to our craftsmen. They dance to a tune that only other artisans understand.
Nothing else. No distractions. Each day we come to work to custom build the highest quality stainless steel mesh screens on the market. In fact, we’re the only ones currently offering these screens in the UAE.
Another one of our key staff is Chris who is an experienced mechanical engineer. Chris has a background in security doors and frames and was a perfect fit for Safety Screens as the company launched back in 2017.
