Perforated Steel Screens for Cost-Effective Protection.
Perforated steel screens are the most widely used option for securing vacant buildings — offering a balance of solid physical protection and affordability.
These screens are externally fixed by drilling into masonry or brickwork, allowing rapid installation across multiple openings. While this can leave cosmetic marks, perforated screens are ideal for short-term void periods or cost-sensitive projects where speed and affordability are top priorities.
Key features:
-
Strong visual and physical deterrent against trespassers and vandalism
-
Fast installation on both windows and doors
-
Budget-friendly option for temporary protection needs
Sitex Steel Screens for High-Security Vacant Sites.
Sitex-style steel screens are a trusted, high-security solution for protecting vacant properties against break-ins, squatting, arson, and unauthorised access.
Manufactured from heavy-duty galvanised steel and secured from the inside, these screens are extremely difficult to remove — making them ideal for long-term voids, high-risk sites, or insurance compliance.
The perforated design allows airflow and natural light to enter the property while maintaining full coverage and security.
Key Features:
-
Tamper-resistant internal fixings for maximum security
-
Fire-resistant and reusable across multiple deployments
-
Widely trusted by councils, landlords, and housing associations
