What are the advantages of aluminium windows over uPVC or timber?

Aluminium window and door replacements are stronger and slimmer. This means you get more glass and natural light. They don’t rot or warp like timber, and they also won’t fade or crack like uPVC. They’re designed for low maintenance and long-term use. Our aluminium solutions are a smart upgrade. They add value to your home or commercial space.

Do aluminium windows perform well in Melbourne’s climate?

Yes. Melbourne has changing weather, sometimes all four seasons in one day. But don’t stress out, our fully Australian-made aluminium door and window replacements are manufactured to handle such situations. With the right glazing, they keep your home comfortable all year.

What is a thermal break in aluminium frames, and why is it important?

A thermal break is a layer inside the frame that stops heat from entering through the aluminium. It improves insulation. Best for making your home warmer in winter and cooler in summer. They also save big on electricity bills.

Which glazing options do you offer (double glazing, Low-E, etc.)?

We offer everything from standard single glazing through to double glazing, low-E glass, acoustic glass, and tinted options. All glazing is custom-made locally.

Can I choose custom shapes or sizes for my windows and doors?

Yes. Every product we make is built to order at our local facility. So the custom designs are no problem. Whatever your choice is, we create a bespoke solution that fits perfectly with your living or commercial space.

What kinds of opening styles do your aluminium door systems support?

Our aluminium doors come in a wide range of styles. We supply sliding, stacking, French, hinged, and bi-fold doors and more. Each one has its own advantage. From space-saving sliders to bi-folds that open up a whole wall, we’ll guide you on the best fit for your home.

How long does your installation process take?

What does your installation package include (seals, flashing, clean-up)?

Once our work is done, we clean the site before leaving. Our team at Accent Windows makes the entire aluminium doors and windows installation process easy for you and gives you peace of mind.

What warranty do you provide on windows, doors, hardware, and installation?

We offer a 15-year warranty on all aluminium windows, doors, glazing and hardware when supplied and installed by us. For supply-only orders, a 7-year warranty applies. This ensures long-term confidence in the quality and durability of our products.

How do I maintain aluminium windows and doors to keep them lasting longer?

Aluminium is very easy to look after. A quick wash with mild soapy water a few times a year keeps the frames looking fresh. For hardware like locks and rollers, a little lubricant now and then will keep everything working smoothly for years.

Invisi Gard Stainless Steel Security Doors Melbourne

Hinged and sliding Invisigard

Invisi-Gard®, Australia’s premier Stainless Steel Security brand from Accent Windows, utilises materials of the highest quality ensuring security and great looks with low maintenance for many years. Invisi-Gard doesn’t compromise on the look or security of your home, so you don’t have to either. Invisi-Gard® is made from 316 marine grade stainless steel mesh and backed by a 15 year warranty. Using the unique, patented pressure retention and isolation method, you can rest assured that the stainless steel mesh will defy the most determined attack from both intruders and corrosion.

KEY FEATURES

Corrosion Prevention of Invisi-Gard’s EGP

The construction of security requires stainless steel mesh to be attached to an aluminium frame, bringing two different metals together which can lead to corrosion.

To prevent this type of dissimilar metal corrosion, Invisi-Gard® have developed and patented a unique clamping system, called Extreme Grip Protection (EGP). This system cleverly captures the mesh within the frame using specially shaped co-extrusions of PVC. A PVC wedge is then used to apply uniform pressure around the frame which locks in the mesh.

The EGP system, used only by Invisi-Gard®, means the mesh is able to be locked into the frame without the uses of screws or mechanical fixing, and means the potentially harmful contact between the metals is avoided.

Made to Measure Stainless Steel Security Doors Melbourne

316 grade stainless steel offers superior corrosion resistance over 304 as it contains an additional substance, molybdenum, giving higher protection from corrosion, notably in marine environments.

In fact, 316 is regarded as the standard marine grade material for this very reason. In the case of window and door, required to be exposed to the elements over long periods of time, it makes sense that corrosion resistance is a fundamental consideration.

A final key factor which distinguishes Invisi-Gard® products from the market, is that only the highest quality mesh is sourced which is consistently quality controlled and accredited under international standards.

The aluminium frame offers sleek, modern design and will complement your home both inside and out.

FAQs

What is Invisi-Gard?

Invisi-Gard is Australia’s premier stainless steel security screen brand, available through Accent Windows in Melbourne. It is made from 316 marine-grade stainless steel mesh and is designed to provide superior security without compromising the look or feel of your home. Unlike traditional security screens, Invisi-Gard does not use visible bars or heavy grilles. Instead, its fine stainless steel mesh maintains clear outward views while keeping intruders and insects out. Invisi-Gard is manufactured by Alspec and all products are backed by a 15-year warranty.

What makes Invisi-Gard different from standard security screens?

Invisi-Gard uses 316 marine-grade stainless steel mesh rather than the 304 grade steel found in most competing products. Grade 316 contains an additional element, molybdenum, which provides significantly higher corrosion resistance, particularly in coastal and marine environments. Invisi-Gard also uses a patented clamping system called Extreme Grip Protection, which according to Alspec, the manufacturer of Invisi-Gard, locks the mesh into the aluminium frame without screws or mechanical fixing. This eliminates the risk of corrosion caused by dissimilar metals coming into contact, a common issue with standard security screen products that use mechanical fixings.

What is the Extreme Grip Protection system?

Extreme Grip Protection, known as EGP, is Invisi-Gard’s patented method of securing the stainless steel mesh within the aluminium frame. Standard security screens attach mesh to aluminium using screws or mechanical fixings, which brings two different metals into contact and can cause corrosion over time. According to Alspec, the EGP system captures the mesh inside specially shaped co-extrusions of PVC and a PVC wedge is then applied to lock the mesh in place without any metal-to-metal contact. This approach makes Invisi-Gard significantly more durable and corrosion-resistant than standard mechanical-fixing security screen systems.

Does Invisi-Gard meet Australian security standards?

Yes. Invisi-Gard products are quality controlled and accredited under international standards. Invisi-Gard screens are designed to comply with AS 5039, the Australian standard for security screen doors and security window grilles, which covers requirements for strength, durability, corrosion resistance, and forced entry resistance. The mesh used in every Invisi-Gard screen is consistently quality tested to ensure it meets the performance requirements needed for a product exposed to the elements over long periods of time. For properties in designated bushfire-prone areas, selected Invisi-Gard systems can be specified up to BAL-40, subject to frame, mesh, hardware, and project requirements being assessed against AS 3959.

What doors and windows can Invisi-Gard be fitted to?

Invisi-Gard security screens can be fitted to a wide range of residential and commercial door and window types. Compatible applications include hinged doors, sliding doors, French doors, entry doors, sliding windows, awning windows, patio enclosures, and fixed screens. The aluminium frame of the Invisi-Gard screen offers a sleek, modern design that complements both the interior and exterior of your home without obstructing views or natural light.

Is Invisi-Gard suitable for Melbourne homes near the coast?

Yes. Invisi-Gard is specifically engineered for environments where corrosion resistance is a priority, including coastal and marine locations. The 316 grade stainless steel mesh offers superior protection against salt air and moisture compared to 304 grade alternatives, which is why 316 is regarded as the standard marine grade material. For Melbourne homeowners in coastal suburbs or properties near Port Phillip Bay, Invisi-Gard is a well-suited security screen option given its marine-grade specification and patented corrosion prevention system.

Can Invisi-Gard be added to my existing doors and windows?

Yes. One of the practical advantages of Invisi-Gard is that it can be retrofitted to most existing aluminium door and window frames without replacing the full door or window unit. Our team will assess your existing frames during the free measure and quote to confirm whether they are compatible with Invisi-Gard installation. In most cases, Invisi-Gard can be added to hinged doors, sliding doors, French doors, entry doors, and a range of window types including sliding, awning, and fixed configurations. This makes it a cost-effective way to improve the security of an existing home without a full door or window replacement.

Does Accent Windows supply and install Invisi-Gard in Melbourne?

Yes. Accent Windows is an authorised supplier and installer of Invisi-Gard stainless steel security screens in Melbourne, with over 45 years of experience in the aluminium door and window industry. We supply and install Invisi-Gard to hinged doors, sliding doors, French doors, and a full range of window types across residential and commercial properties. Every Invisi-Gard installation is backed by a 15-year warranty. Our team manages the full process from measure and quote through to professional installation and aftercare across metropolitan Melbourne and surrounding areas.

How do I get a quote for Invisi-Gard security screens in Melbourne?

Our consultants will assess your existing doors and windows, confirm which Invisi-Gard configurations suit your openings, and provide a detailed quote. Walk-ins are welcome at our showroom at 5 Diligent Drive, Bayswater North, Monday to Saturday, with no appointment required.

What glass is used behind the Invisi-Gard security screen?

The primary security function of an Invisi-Gard door comes from the 316 marine-grade stainless steel mesh and frame system, not the glass behind it. The glass in the door panel is specified separately to meet Grade A safety requirements under AS 1288. For standard applications, laminated safety glass is the baseline choice, holding the pane together with an interlayer if the glass is impacted rather than shattering. Toughened safety glass is an alternative depending on the door configuration, breaking into small blunt granules rather than sharp shards. For Invisi-Gard installations where thermal comfort is also a priority, a double glazed unit is available behind the screen and worth discussing with your Area Manager. Your glazing specification is confirmed based on your door type, orientation, and project requirements.
