Window Furnishings for Renters

Renting shouldn’t mean compromising on privacy, comfort, or style. With the right window furnishings, you can elevate any space—without losing your bond or breaking your lease.

At Security Plus Shutters, Doors & Blinds, we’ve spent over 30 years helping renters, owners, and property managers across Melbourne and Sydney find smarter, safer solutions. We’re local, affordable, and flexible—and we proudly lead Australia in roller shutters, doors, blinds, and fire-rated solutions.

 

Renter-Friendly Window Furnishing Options

Even if you can’t drill or modify walls, there are plenty of stylish, functional upgrades you can make:

  • Removable window films – Great for instant privacy and UV protection. Easy to apply and remove, leaving no marks behind.
  • Tension-fit curtain rods – No screws needed; perfect for bedrooms or living areas needing blackout curtains.
  • Magnetic insect screens – Keep airflow while keeping bugs out—ideal for apartments and balcony doors.
  • Clip-on blockout liners – Affordable way to improve sleep quality and reduce glare for shift workers or light-sensitive rooms.
  • Freestanding blinds – Great temporary options that add a premium look without affecting the property’s structure.

Tip: Some landlords may allow wall-mounted roller blinds or screens if you provide professional installation and documentation.

 

Upgrades Worth Requesting from Your Landlord

When presented properly, window furnishings can be seen as property enhancements, not just décor. Owners often approve upgrades that improve comfort or security.

  • Roller blinds or plantation shutters – Deliver long-term value by reducing heat transfer and improving property appeal.
  • Security screens and doors – Offer better airflow without compromising safety, appealing to both renters and property managers.
  • Smart motorisation – Add convenience and energy efficiency, often raising the home’s rental value.

At Security Plus, we provide professional quotes, colour samples, and compliance details to help you fast-track approvals with confidence.

 

Security and Bushfire Protection for Renters

If you live near a bushfire zone or boundary building, safety isn’t optional—it’s essential.

  • Bushfire shutters – CSIRO-tested and rated to BAL-40, our Australian-made fire-rated shutters withstand heat up to 40 kW/m² in line with AS 3959 standards.
  • Fire attenuation screens – Reduce radiant heat and meet boundary building code requirements while allowing airflow and light.
  • Rental-friendly installations – We coordinate directly with landlords, builders, or body corporates to ensure compliance and minimal disruption.

When it comes to bushfire shutters and fire attenuation screens, Security Plus isn’t just part of the industry—we set the benchmark others follow.

 

Why Renters Trust Security Plus

  • Locally made, Australian-tested products designed for comfort and durability.
  • One team, start to finish: design, manufacture, and installation—all handled in-house.
  • Custom solutions for every home—because no two rentals are the same.
  • 30+ years of proven trust, protecting families, investments, and lifestyles.

We’re more than a supplier; we’re the team people turn to when safety, privacy, and design all matter equally.

 

FAQs

Can renters install bushfire shutters?
Yes—if your landlord approves. We handle all compliance paperwork and offer removable or adaptable systems suitable for strata or leased properties.

How are fire attenuation screens different?
Attenuation screens reduce radiant heat, ideal for city apartments or boundary walls. Bushfire shutters act as a full barrier, closing off heat, debris, and ember attack.

Will shutters make my rental too dark?
Not at all. Our systems are adjustable—fully retractable or mesh-based—allowing you to enjoy daylight and breezes whenever you like.

Can I avoid losing my bond?
Yes. Many renter-friendly blinds and films require no drilling, while landlord-approved installations are professionally fitted, leaving the home better than before.
