Protecting homes top priority
HOME security is front of mind for many Cairns residents and Aztec Security Screens is the local trusted name.
Bought in 2015 by Cliff and Lorraine Bailey as a business employing only three people, they have managed to build and expand to their current number of 12.
“You name it, we’ve screened it – from marina-front mansions and new builds to Coaster buses and boats,” said office manager Niki Bailey.
“We are a real family business – working so closely with your parents isn’t for everyone, luckily we get along and have a few good laughs during the day,” she said.
“Mum is amazing, she manages the workshop and the difference shows in our quality control.
“She doesn’t let anything leave that she wouldn’t approve to have in her own home.
“Every person at Aztec is an integral part of our business, we have the best team.”
Aztec is the exclusive dealer for Commandex products in the Cairns region, supplying a superior 316 marine grade stainless steel for their top-of-the-line Secureview doors and windows.
As well as security screens, they install aluminium slat fences and privacy panels – all locally manufactured in their warehouse in Manunda.
“Clients are more than welcome to pop into the office, have a look at the orders about to be installed and chat with the friendly team,” Niki said.
Aztec work closely with GOtech Customised Security in the same office to provide CCTV and alarm systems.
