Secure Your Home Without Shutting Out Fresh Air
A security screen door provides a strong physical barrier across an external doorway, allowing you to leave your main door open while still adding another layer of security.
It means you can enjoy fresh air and natural ventilation, help keep insects outside and feel more confident opening up your home.
At HomeSafe, we supply and install a range of security screen doors, including Amplimesh Grille, ClearGuard and SupaScreen. Each offers different benefits, so we'll help you choose the option that best suits your home, security requirements and budget.
Why Install a Security Screen Door?
A quality security screen door can:
Improve home security.
Allow better airflow and ventilation.
Help keep flies and insects outside.
Let you leave your main door open with confidence.
Complement the appearance of your home.
Which Security Screen Door Is Right for You?
There are three main options in the Amplimesh security screen range.
-
Amplimesh® Grille is the traditional security screen option that has been used in New Zealand homes for decades.
It combines a strong aluminium grille with insect mesh, providing a visible security barrier as well as insect protection. It's a practical, cost-effective choice for homeowners looking for proven everyday security.
-
ClearGuard offers a more modern, streamlined appearance.
Instead of a traditional grille, it uses a perforated sheet of hardened structural-grade aluminium. The small perforations make the screen surprisingly easy to see through while still providing a strong security barrier.
It's a good choice if you want a balance of security, clear outward views and contemporary styling.
-
SupaScreen is the premium option in the range.
It's made from high-tensile 316 marine-grade stainless steel woven into a fine security mesh. This provides excellent strength while maintaining clear outward views, airflow and a discreet appearance.
SupaScreen is particularly well suited to homeowners looking for premium security, durability and minimal visual obstruction.

Amplimesh® Grille Mesh Options
Amplimesh® Grille security doors can be fitted with different insect mesh options depending on how you use your home.
Standard Insect Mesh
Standard fibreglass insect mesh helps keep flies, mosquitoes and other insects outside while allowing fresh air to circulate through your home.
It's a practical choice for most households.
Pet-Resistant Mesh
If you have dogs or cats, pet-resistant mesh provides a tougher and more durable alternative to standard insect mesh.
It's designed to better withstand the scratching, pushing and everyday wear that pets can place on a screen. This makes it a practical choice for households with active dogs or cats, particularly around frequently used entrances.
You'll still enjoy airflow and insect protection, but with a screen better suited to the demands of life with pets.
Can Security Screen Doors Be Installed on Existing Doors?
Yes. In most cases, security screen doors can be fitted to existing aluminium or timber doorways without replacing the original door.
We'll inspect your doorway, take accurate measurements and recommend the best screen and installation option for your home.
