Q. Where do I measure for my window grilles?

A. Before you measure you need to establish where exactly how you are going to fix the screen to the window. There are two basic types of external fixing.

Recess fix: We do not recommend recess fixing security screens or diamond window screens. Our standard window grille frame is 11 mm thick at the outer wall, they may be fitted into the same recess on a window as a fly screen however they will not bend like a fly screen and as such can be difficult to install in this way. If you do decide the install the screen this way they can then be fixed in place by riveting or screwing to the window recess either internally or externally.

Face fix: The window screens can be simply fitted to the face of the window frame either internally or externally by drilling through the frame of the window surround and screwing or riveting in place. This is the recommended method of fitting security window screens and diamond screens. Great care must be given to not interfere with the operation of the window's action, E.g. Window spirals etc.

Q. What colours do you have?

A. Seconline's security screens, diamond screens and fly screens are available in 17 standard colours, the full selection can be viewed on the colour selector page of the Product Builder.

Q. What powder Coat colours do you use?

A. Colours are standard Interpon and Dulux Powder Coat colours.
