The Short Version

The Quick Answer

There’s no single “Sunshine Coast price” for security screens, because every screen is custom-made to your doors and windows — not sold off a set menu. What you’ll actually pay comes down to which product tier you choose (barrier vs security-rated), the mesh within that tier, and how many openings you’re screening.

Roughly speaking: Diamond Grille is the most affordable option but isn’t a security screen at all. Within our AS 5039-tested range, Xceed is the entry point, SecureView Eclipx is the mid-tier all-rounder most Sunshine Coast homes choose, and SaltWaterSeries sits at the top for homes right on the coast. The only way to get an exact figure is a free on-site measure — we quote a fixed price, not an estimate.

01 / The Line-Up

Diamond Grille vs Xceed vs SecureView Eclipx vs SaltWaterSeries

One of these four is not a security screen — and that matters more to your budget than any spec sheet. Here’s how they actually compare.

Salt-spray tested	Not tested	Not tested	1,000 hours	3,000 hours
Warranty (std / extended)	7 yr	5 yr / 7 yr	11 yr / 15 yr	1 yr / up to 20 yr
Best for	Deterrent + insects on a budget, low-risk openings	Real AS 5039 security on a tighter budget	Most Sunshine Coast homes — the all-rounder	Beachfront & escarpment homes exposed to salt air

02 / Straight Talk on Cost

What Actually Affects the Price on the Sunshine Coast

Every screen is measured and made to order, so the quote reflects your home, not a price list. The main factors:

Barrier vs security tier — the biggest single factor. Diamond Grille costs less than any AS 5039 screen because it isn’t tested to the same standard.
Mesh, within the security range — Xceed’s perforated aluminium sits below SecureView Eclipx’s woven stainless, with SaltWaterSeries at the premium end.
Proximity to the coast — homes within roughly 500m of the water, or up to 2km on an exposed escarpment, get steered towards SaltWaterSeries over standard stainless because salt air corrodes cheaper finishes faster here than it does further inland.
Doors vs windows — doors cost more than window screens of the same mesh.
Size and opening type — sliding, hinged, stacking and French door openings each frame up differently, and larger openings use more mesh.
Number of screens — doing several doors and windows in one visit works out better per screen than one at a time.

Because we measure on site, the quote you get is an exact price for your home — not an estimate that changes later.

03 / The Honest Bit

Why Diamond Grille Is Cheaper — and What You Give Up

Diamond Grille is a genuine, popular product — the classic Aussie grille look, at the lowest price point in our range. But it is a barrier screen, not a security screen: it isn’t tested to AS 5039 and doesn’t carry security-screen warranties. If a quote or a comparison lumps it in alongside Xceed, SecureView Eclipx or SaltWaterSeries as if they’re interchangeable on price and protection, that’s not the full picture.

CommandeX’s own product literature calls perforated aluminium security screens (Xceed) “a modern and more secure replacement for dated Diamond Grilles” — and that step up to genuine AS 5039 protection costs less than most people assume. For front doors, back doors and ground-floor windows, we’ll always tell you honestly if a barrier screen isn’t the right call, even if it’s the cheaper line item.

Straight Answers

Sunshine Coast Security Screen Pricing — FAQ

How much do security screens cost on the Sunshine Coast?

It depends on which product tier you choose (barrier vs AS 5039 security), the mesh within that tier, and how many doors and windows you’re screening. Because every screen is custom-made, we give you an exact fixed price at a free in-home measure & quote — there’s no set price list to quote from.

Is Diamond Grille cheaper than Xceed, SecureView Eclipx or SaltWaterSeries?

Yes — it’s the most affordable option in our range. But it’s a barrier screen, not a security screen: it isn’t tested to AS 5039 and doesn’t carry security-screen warranties. It’s a sound choice for low-risk openings like upper-floor windows or balconies, but we wouldn’t recommend it alone for a main entry door.

Which security screen should I choose for a Sunshine Coast home near the beach?

Within roughly 500m of the coastline, or up to 2km on an exposed escarpment, we usually recommend SaltWaterSeries — it’s the same 316 marine-grade stainless mesh as SecureView Eclipx, with an added heavy-duty coastal powder coat and a longer warranty. Further inland, SecureView Eclipx is the all-rounder most homes choose.

What’s the cheapest way to get genuine AS 5039 security screens?

Xceed — it’s the entry point into our AS 5039-tested range, using perforated structural-grade aluminium mesh. It costs less than SecureView Eclipx or SaltWaterSeries while still passing the same knife shear, pull, anti-jemmy and impact testing that defines a genuine security screen.

Do you offer a price list or online quote calculator?

No — and we’d rather be upfront about that than give you a number that changes once we’re on site. Every screen is measured and made to your exact doors and windows, so the only accurate quote comes from a free in-home measure, which we do across the Sunshine Coast at no cost and no obligation.
