Security Screens for Investment Properties
Reduce insurance premiums. Attract better tenants. Add genuine resale value.
Why security screens?
Six reasons landlords choose Crimsafe
Tenant safety
Tenant safety is a landlord responsibility. Security screens on all windows and doors provide genuine protection, not just the appearance of it. Crimsafe Regular is tested to 550J at the University of Queensland.
Insurance premiums
Documented security upgrades can reduce home and landlord insurance premiums. Crimsafe screens are often cited by insurers as a qualifying security measure. Ask your insurer for specifics.
Rental yield
Security screens are a strong investment for rental properties. They attract higher-quality tenants and give you grounds to support higher weekly rents, particularly in family-oriented suburbs.
Reduced maintenance
Security screens hold up to harder use than alarm systems or smart locks. Crimsafe Regular includes a standard 10-year manufacturer warranty. Alarm systems require annual servicing; screens do not.
Depreciation
Capital works associated with security installations may be depreciable over the asset's effective life. Security screens are generally considered a fixture once installed. Consult your accountant for advice specific to your portfolio.
Resale value
Security screens add genuine resale value, particularly in the SE Queensland market where buyers expect them. Crimsafe branding is well known and carries its own market premium.
