Security, privacy and shade solutions in Innisfail
Innisfail is the wettest major town in the country and it shows in the buildings. Art deco frontages in town, timber homes on stumps, cane country all around and rainfall figures that most of Australia would not believe.
Everything we put on a house down here has to cope with constant moisture and heavy rain events. That means sealed fixings, coatings that suit the environment and products chosen for the wet rather than the brochure.

Extreme rainfall
Water finds every gap. Sealing, flashing and drainage detail on screens, enclosures and awnings matter more here than anywhere else we work.
Cyclone exposure
The Cassowary Coast has seen the worst of it. Roller shutters and properly fixed screening give owners something practical before a system crosses.
Humidity and mould
Constant damp means airflow is part of the design. Screening lets homes breathe while staying secure, which helps keep the inside drier.
Security work in Innisfail
- Timber homes on stumps need screens fixed to sound framing — we check that before quoting, not after.
- Under-house areas and rear entries are the common weak points.
- Screening plus airflow beats locking a house up tight in this climate.
Privacy, shade and comfort
- Drop awnings and Zipscreens keep driving rain off verandahs so the space stays usable through the wet.
- Roller shutters for storm protection, heat and privacy together.
- External privacy screening on closer town blocks around Goondi and East Innisfail.
