Security doors & flyscreens in Fairy Meadow.

Close to the beach, close to the university.

Fairy Meadow runs from the University of Wollongong precinct and the Princes Highway right down to Fairy Meadow Beach. The eastern half, towards the surf and Towradgi, sits in the salt-air zone where 316 marine-grade stainless is the only mesh worth fitting. The western half, up towards Mount Ousley and the escarpment, is more sheltered and takes a 304 or aluminium spec.

A lot of rentals and shared houses.

With the university nearby, Fairy Meadow has a high share of rental homes and student share houses. For landlords, a secure, well-screened property is part of the NSW residential tenancy “reasonably secure” obligation, and a full set of security doors plus window screens done in one visit keeps a rental safe and lettable. We can work to a landlord’s budget and screen the highest-risk openings first.

Bedroom egress matters in share houses.

In a share house every bedroom is occupied, so every bedroom window is a fire escape. We fit quick-release egress screens on bedroom windows so they are secure against intruders but open instantly from inside in a fire. This is a genuine safety detail, not an upsell, and it is the thing cheap installers leave out.

Typical Fairy Meadow jobs.

A worked example.

A four-bedroom rental two streets from Fairy Meadow Beach is screened end to end: front and rear 316 security doors ($1,250 + $1,200), four quick-release egress bedroom screens at $360 each ($1,440) and two passage window screens at $270 ($540), total $4,430 supplied and installed over a day and a half. The coastal location means 316 throughout.
