WE often worry about unwanted “guests” like intruders, stray animals and pesky insects that affect security and health. Majestec Premium Security Doors and Windows effectivel­y maintain security while allowing clear vision and ventilatio­n.

Majestec Security Screens offer your home security, insect screens, ventilatio­n and clear vision. This aesthetic and functional product is of Australian ingenuity. Majestec’s clear vision security screens use the latest in Japanese high-tensile wire materials interwoven in-house into strong stainless steel mesh for maximum strength.

The screens allow free flow of fresh air into your home, naturally cooling your living space. This helps reduce energy consumptio­n. At night, windows can be left open without any worries. The high-tensile mesh is resilient and almost impossible to cut or break through.

Majestec products have been tested and surpassed standards for impact resistance, point load test, knife shear, jimmy and pull tests. It also protects glass and timber doors from breakage and damage. Majestec products have met the requiremen­ts of Australia and Malaysia Sirim Standard (AS 5039:2008) for security screen doors and window grilles.

Due to its fine mesh, the almost invisible screens allow you a clear view outdoors without compromisi­ng home appearance and security. In emergency, locks and handles are easily released from inside. Window locks and removable handles are also available. In high-rise buildings, a higher concentrat­ion of occupants, proximity to mass transit facilities and easy access put occupants and property at risk.

Now with Majestec, unauthoris­ed access is minimised without compromisi­ng ventilatio­n or views. Majestec products are an excellent combinatio­n of grilles and insect screens while being easy on the eye.

Majestec security screens are custommade and come in a variety of colours. The frames are powder-coated to fulfil a product lifetime of over 10 years.

Made of marine-grade steel, the mesh is rustproof. It also requires low maintenanc­e – just wipe with a damp cloth or flush with water then wipe dry.

Its frames are made from heavy-duty aluminium and Majestec’s product developmen­t team can custom-design its products to meet your architectu­ral designs and security requiremen­ts.

Majestec’s product range includes awning windows, casement windows, hinged doors, French doors, bi-fold doors, sliding doors and windows, stacker doors, fixed panels, pool fencing and balustrade­s and fire escapes as well as curved and triangular panels.

When choosing an important component of home security, check for proof of claims by the sellers. Majestec has spent considerab­le resources on engineerin­g its products to pass the many tests they are subjected to. Majestec holds several patents for its fixing system of binding the stainless steel mesh to the frames. The panels have been tested to withstand forces of up to 1,100kg.

Majestec products are sold all over the world, including Australia, South Africa and the United States. All these countries require a product to be subjected to stringent testing before being sold to the public.

Don’t pour too much detergent: More detergent for grubbier clothes sounds sensible but actually, it doesn’t work that way. When you overdo the soap, you get more bubbles and these protect stains from the actual stain removing goodness you seek.

So keep to the directions and use stain remover sprays to soak stubborn dirt before you chuck everything into the machine.

Invest in laundry mesh bags: Those cute tees with the sparkles sewn on and the special socks will be damaged by the average tumble of the machine.

Laundry bags allow pieces to be washed without having them tangled, stretched and rubbed along with the rest of the load. Buy a selection of different-sized laundry bags as one size doesn’t fit all.

Dry coloured clothes inside out to prevent fading: Even if you dry clothes in the shade, the sun has a wicked bleaching effect. So turn it all inside out before you put it in the machine, hang it up inside out, iron it inside out and then turn it right way for hanging.

Overdoing the fabric softener is also counterpro­ductive: Fabric softener can make everything softer and smell nice, especially if you hang your clothes outside to dry instead of using a dryer, but too much of it will give your laundry an oily feel. Also, as it tends to be highly perfumed, it can cause itchy skin.

Stick to the instructio­ns and if you have a machine, make sure you use just the right amount of softener.
