The Perth summer is here, and that means balmy nights, backyard barbecues, and Christmas lights twinkling across the neighbourhood. Whether you’re hosting family lunch or enjoying a quiet evening under the stars, now’s the perfect time to get your outdoor space and front yard ready for the festive season.
This simple guide from Alutech, will help you create a stylish, comfortable, and cool home for Christmas. We dive into decorating ideas, and tips to keep your flyscreens fresh and your aluminium doors working their best.
Give Your Home a Summer Refresh
Before you start hanging wreaths or stringing up fairy lights, take a moment to give your outdoor area a quick clean-up. Sweep pathways, trim hedges, and wipe down your windows and doors.
Use mild soapy water and a soft cloth to clean your aluminium windows and aluminium doors. This removes dust, sea spray, and grime while protecting the surface from corrosion.
If your screens are looking tired, consider upgrading to our Havengard security screen doors. They not only enhance airflow but also offer extra protection without compromising your home’s style.
Keep Your Flyscreens Fresh
There’s nothing worse than trying to enjoy Christmas lunch while fighting off flies and mozzies. Clean flyscreens are your best friend in summer.
To clean them, gently remove the screens and rinse with a hose. Use a soft brush and mild detergent to remove built-up dust or pollen. Avoid using strong chemicals that can damage the mesh or frame.
If you’ve noticed your flyscreens are sagging or difficult to clean, now’s the perfect time to invest in a modern replacement. Our security screen systems are built tough for the Perth climate, combining strength and style for long-lasting performance.
Deck the Outdoors
Bring festive cheer to your front yard and patio with simple, thoughtful touches. Fairy lights and lanterns create a warm, inviting glow for summer evenings. Opt for solar options to save on power.
Native greenery like eucalyptus, bottlebrush, or banksia makes for beautiful, Aussie-inspired wreaths and table centrepieces.

Stay Cool During the Festive Rush
Perth’s summer heat can make entertaining outdoors a challenge, but with a few smart tweaks, you can keep your home cool and comfortable.
Open your aluminium awning windows early in the morning to let in the fresh breeze.
Keep security screen doors closed during the day to allow airflow without the bugs.
Use shade sails, umbrellas, or awnings to reduce direct sunlight on windows and doors.
Check that your seals are tight around aluminium windows Perth homes rely on for insulation.
Small details like these make a big difference in maintaining comfort and they help your home stay energy-efficient.
Add the Finishing Touches
Once your home is sparkling clean and decorated, it’s time to add those final festive touches. Play some Christmas music, light citronella candles, and fill a jug with your favourite cold beverage. A few thoughtful details can make your outdoor space feel relaxed and welcoming.
