Sitex Security Screens

Sitex security screens are purpose-built and offer outstanding security protection for vacant buildings. They prevent access, protect windows from damage and have several environmental and health and safety advantages over wooden boards.

Timber boards have long been used to board over windows that have been broken or damaged – but they are best applied as a short-term solution to prevent safety issues from broken glass rather than as a long-term security measure.

Sitex screens are fire-resistant, an essential feature for vacant properties at risk of arson, particularly where building materials are flammable, or utilities are connected and live.

Site owners often find that fitting commercial-grade Sitex screens can help with insurance purposes. Ventilation helps prevent backdrafts, making it less likely a fire can occur and easier for emergency services to tackle the issue if necessary.

High-tensile steel Sitex screens are a durable, robust protective system. Screens are fitted over windows and doors for short-term hire or as longer-term protection against squatting, vandalism, theft and illegal entry.

The benefit is that Sitex screens cannot be removed or tampered with and prevent unauthorised entry, yet allow ventilation for vacant properties of all sizes.

In many cases, yes. The specialist fixings used when Sitex screens are installed mean they can be manufactured to suit different opening sizes, making them often appropriate for buildings that are sensitive or protected.

We’ll, of course, assess each property to ensure we recommend the most relevant installation method, or alternatives where necessary.
