QUICKSCREEN PLUS DESIGN GUIDE
Q: Can you cut down the frames and slat?
A: Yes, the product is made from aluminum so easy to cut.
All you require is a drop saw with an aluminum cutting
blade.
Q: Is the product durable and will it stand the test of time?
A: Yes, aluminum is an extremely durable metal, especially
in coastal conditions. As an example, it is used to make boat
pontoons which sit in and on the water.
Q: Can you adjust the height and or the width of the
screen?
A: Yes, this is very easy to do:
Width – Simply cut the slat taking into consideration
necessary deductions to achieve correct width
(refer install instructions)
Height – Simply cut the posts/frames to suit, taking into
consideration the spacing between the slat
(refer install instructions)
Q: Can I have a dierent gap other than 9mm or 20mm
between slats?
A: Yes, you can on a screen but not a gate. On a screen all
you need to do is slide the inner channels out of the frame
and then screw the slats o in their desired positions. Make
sure to screw o in a position where will not obstruct the
sliding of the channels back into the posts. (screws are not
supplied)
Q: How do I fit a screen on an angle?
A: All you need to do is stop the post and install a new post
to suit the new angle. (double post)
Q: Why would I buy this product over a traditional timber
fence?
› Aluminum will not crack, split or warp
› Due to powder coat finish sustains color stability and
does not require continual repainting.
› Aluminum is easily recyclable and due to its lifecycle is
eco-friendly
› Aluminum is non-combustible (fire retardant)
› Aluminum is corrosion resistant (minimal maintenance
required)
› Aluminum is light weight and easy to work with
› Aluminum achieves greater spans without bracing - less
posts, rails etc. required
› Aluminum is insect proof so not eected by termites,
white ants etc.
› Aluminum is freeze and frost resistant
› Aluminum is non-porous so does not stain easily and is
easy to clean. Not eected by moisture, mold or mildew
› Quick screen plus is so quick and easy to assemble
compared to timber. Once posts installed would work on
approx. 5 minutes per section
› Is generally more cost eective than timber once you
take into consideration all factors including maintenance
and labor.
Q: Why would you buy Quick screen plus over composite
fencing?
› Composite is generally not resistant to mould and
mildew, especially in shade
› Composite eventually shows signs of age and decay
› Composite tends to sag and bend more than wood
Q: What is the powder coat warranty and what do I need
to do to ensure longevity?
A: Akzo Nobel provide us a 10-year warranty on the powder
coat finish. Maintenance is very simple and varies depending
on your proximity to the ocean. If you notice a build up of
grime or salt spray from the ocean, clean down with water
and if required a mild detergent.
Q: Can you have the slat on an angle or able to fix on out
of square walls?
A: Yes, this is easy to do. As an open channel design,
simply cut the appropriate angle at each end of the slat
to accommodate clear fixing in the frame. If the walls are
out-of-square, either cut the blades slightly shorter taking
into consideration that the blades must engage with the
friction-fit insert, or, if severely out of square, cut the slat on
an angle.
Q: What Gate hardware do you recommend with A Quick
screen Plus gate?
A: We use the D&D technologies Lokk Latch Deluxe
and Tru–close Heavy Duty Hinges. You can use other
gate hardware out there similar however it is important
to remember the gate has a packer that is supplied and
designed to mirror the Lokk latch deluxe. This is to eliminate
any fixing issues.
Q: Can you adjust the height and or width of the gate?
A: Yes, this is easy to do, ensure you work within the slat
positions on the gate frame. (refer install instructions)
Q: Is the side frame integrated into the one way and two
way posts, or do you need purchase this separately and
attach it to the post?
A: The one way and two way posts come with everything
that you need to be used with the Slat Box. The posts have
a ‘U’ shaped slot built into them, one slot in a one way post
and two slots in the two way post. There is a ‘friction insert’
that sits inside of the slot which holds the slats in position
