Over the last few months we’ve had lots of requests for pet doors. Due to the security rating and construction techniques of the screens, cutting a hole for a pet door has proven difficult. Any break in the integrity of the mesh will obviously affect the overall strength of the door. However over recent weeks our metalsmiths have been working hard on a number of pet door prototypes.
Now that the screens have proven themselves in the UAE market, we ordered another container load of raw materials. This container not only included the materials to fabricate our core sliding screen door and window, but materials for French double screen doors. French doors are common in many Dubai and Abu Dhabi villas and will now be available as a secure mesh screen.
One of our key staff members is our lead metalsmith Junisar. He’s an experienced metal worker from the Philippines who prides himself on quality finishing. He loves cutting and joining all forms of steel and aluminium which luckily are the two core components of our screens.
You wouldn’t think that one of the most time consuming tasks of setting up our warehouse was getting the ‘air’ right. By air we mean the high pressure air required to be compressed, stored and then distributed through the airline to all of our tools.
From all of us here at Safety Screens we wish you a happy New Year and prosperous 2018!
Thank you for making our first year a success. As most of you are aware in 2017 Safety Screens became the first and only provider of mesh security screens in Dubai and across the UAE. The year saw us bring in the first batch of screens to customers in Dubai and these screens have proven to be a great success. We have received excellent feedback on the screens and know that there are many villa owners now sleeping safe at night with their glass doors open and screens locked.
Once the first batch of screens were installed it was time to get back to setting up our warehouse. We had a few back orders that we’d accumulated over the last few months but we can’t fabricate these screens until we have all the machinery in place, tested and operating perfectly.
What a week! We’ve now finished the screen installation of our first six villas and we have six very happy home owners. We fitted a total of 22 screen doors and windows just in time to enjoy this perfect winter weather.
It’s been a long six months since we took our first order but now it all seems worth the effort. This weekend we installed our first screen doors. The first villa to be fitted was ours so we could make sure the team was trained correctly in the installation process and to ensure the product design was correct.
There could be worse places in the world for a training course!
Last week we headed off to Thailand to complete fabrication training at the screen manufacturers facility. Here the team learnt how to custom build each model of screen using the patented assembly process.
With the warehouse tenancy signed, two employees hired and our first shipment on its way, it was time to start working!
On Saturday we had our first full day together as the Safety Screens team. And like all great businesses it started with a vision and a first day. For us, that first day began with assembling chairs and tables! Not a glamorous start but was in the same vain as Steve Jobs starting out in his garage (not exactly but you get my point).Read More
