What are the benefits of screened patios?
Screened patios deliver multiple benefits for Sunshine Coast homeowners:
- Bug-Free Entertaining – Complete protection from mosquitoes, sand flies, and coastal insects without insect repellent or citronella

- Year-Round Outdoor Living – Usable outdoor space regardless of weather conditions or insect activity
- Enhanced Privacy & Comfort – Visual screening from neighbours with intimate, tranquil spaces for relaxation and hosting
- Increased Property Value – Strategic home improvement that appeals to future buyers seeking outdoor living amenities
- Cost-Effective Alternative – More affordable than full room additions while delivering similar comfort and functionality
Bug-Free Outdoor Entertaining on the Sunshine Coast
Sunshine Coast mosquitoes and sand flies aren’t your average backyard pests—they’re relentless, especially during warmer months when you actually want to be outside. Queensland coastal areas experience some of Australia’s highest mosquito populations.
How Screened Patios Stop Insects at the Source: Fine mesh screening creates an invisible barrier, keeping mosquitoes and sand flies completely outside. No chemicals, sprays, or constant vigilance needed for protection.
Creating Comfortable Dining & Entertaining Spaces: Family dinners happen without interruptions, kids play safely without bug bites, and guests stay the whole evening enjoying your screened patio.
Weather Protection & Year-Round Comfort
The Sunshine Coast’s subtropical climate brings incredible beauty—and brutal weather challenges that make outdoor living difficult without proper protection.
Rain & Wind Protection Without Sacrificing Airflow: Screened patios shield you from rain and coastal winds while maintaining natural ventilation and fresh air circulation throughout your outdoor space.
UV Filtering for Extended Outdoor Time: UV rays damage skin and fade outdoor furniture on the Sunshine Coast. Quality screening filters harmful rays while letting natural light through safely.
Storm Season Solutions With Removable & Retractable Options: Retractable screening gives you the flexibility to adjust protection based on daily weather changes. Open it up for fresh air or close it during storms.
Privacy, Security & Tranquillity
Your backyard should feel like a personal retreat, not an extension of your neighbour’s view or a space where strangers can easily see inside.
Visual Privacy Without Losing Your Views: Screened patios create visual barriers from neighbours while maintaining sightlines to your own landscape and Sunshine Coast views.
Enhanced Security Through Enclosed Spaces: Enclosed screening provides controlled access to your outdoor area, creating defined boundaries that make your family feel safer and more secure.
Noise Reduction & Peaceful Retreats: Screened structures dampen external noise from traffic and coastal activity, transforming your patio into a tranquil escape.
Custom Design That Matches Your Home’s Style
Your screened patio should enhance your home’s appearance, not look like an afterthought bolted onto the back of your house.
Seamless Integration with Existing Architecture
Screened patios can be designed to complement your home’s existing style, whether modern, coastal, or traditional. Professional installation ensures the structure looks intentional and cohesive with your overall design aesthetic.
Material & Colour Options for Every Home
Choose from aluminium frames in various finishes, powder-coated colours, and mesh options that match your home perfectly. Different materials offer distinct looks while providing durability suited to coastal conditions.
Retractable & Removable Screening Solutions
Retractable screens offer maximum flexibility, allowing you to open or close them based on the weather and your preference. Removable panels provide seasonal options for storm protection or extended entertaining space.
Professional Installation & Investment Value
Quality screened patios aren’t DIY projects—they require expertise, proper permits, and structural knowledge to get right the first time.
Why Professional Installation Matters: Licensed contractors understand local building codes, wind ratings, and council requirements that protect your investment.
How Screened Patios Increase Property Value: Screened patios appeal to buyers seeking outdoor living amenities and typically recoup 50-80% of installation costs at resale.
Quality Workmanship & Long-Term Durability: Expert installation using quality materials ensures your screened patio withstands coastal salt air, UV exposure, and seasonal storms.
