QAQ Screens has made its mark as Australia’s leading name in decorative and privacy screens, standing out for its blend of aesthetic appeal and practical application. QAQ began with the vision of bringing high-quality, locally produced decorative panels to Australians, offering options that had previously been scarce on the market. The company’s growth has seen it rise from a niche idea into a nationwide trendsetter in both residential and commercial spaces, with screens that speak to diverse tastes and architectural styles.
As QAQ explains, their journey started with a mission to offer a screen for every space, accessible and customisable for all kinds of homes and projects. Since those early days, QAQ’s range has expanded significantly, providing a wide selection of designs that have gained popularity. Some of the most requested designs include the Cayman, Washington, Tokyo, and Cairo models. Each has distinct features that cater to different settings and aesthetics, from minimalist modernism to traditional elegance. “Our screens aren’t just decorative—they bring a unique blend of style and function to every setting,” shares QAQ. “They’re designed to add privacy where it’s needed, with a look that complements any environment.”
Melbourne, known for its eclectic architectural landscape, has proven an ideal home for QAQ’s offerings. With local production processes and materials sourced within Australia, QAQ meets the needs of Melbourne’s diverse community and beyond. Their screens are crafted with both contemporary and classic architecture in mind, making them versatile enough to fit into various styles. “A screen for every space and every place,” QAQ notes, encapsulating their approach to Australian design. They manufacture their decorative materials with both urban and suburban landscapes in mind, proving adaptable for the varied environments within Melbourne and across Australia.
The South Asian community in Australia, in particular, has embraced QAQ’s screens, with their focus on customisation resonating with those who value both privacy and artistic expression. QAQ recognises that within this community, there’s a high regard for custom solutions, and they’ve responded by offering a tailored experience. “We can create custom sizes and designs to match any taste or interest, so every customer’s needs are met,” they explain. This focus on personalisation has been especially popular among homeowners who want to incorporate traditional or cultural motifs, such as symbols like the Om or Hindu Swastika, into their interiors, notably in spaces like prayer rooms.
QAQ’s commitment to sustainability reflects a growing trend in architecture and design in Australia. As environmental consciousness rises, the demand for eco-friendly materials and practices has followed. QAQ screens are crafted from sustainably manufactured compressed hardwood, which they describe as having a better-than-zero carbon footprint and comprising 100% natural ingredients: 97% timber and 3% natural wax. This not only benefits the environment but also ensures a quality product that is termite-resistant, with sugars and starches removed. “Our commitment to sustainability is about more than just the materials—it’s a promise to our customers that they’re investing in something built to last, without the environmental cost,” QAQ emphasises.
From television shows to builder display homes, QAQ screens have featured in standout projects across Australia. On “The Block,” a popular renovation show, QAQ screens have been showcased in landscaping designs, bringing a unique edge to garden spaces and pool areas. “Our screens add a touch of personality, not just to landscaping but also as room dividers or even in alcoves,” they share. Around pools, QAQ screens are particularly effective, serving as eye-catching features that provide privacy and complete the poolside aesthetic. Display homes have also integrated these screens in ways that go beyond the expected, showing how versatile they can be in a range of spaces, from alfresco dining areas to bedrooms and even private prayer spaces.
A large part of QAQ’s appeal is the opportunity for customers to make each screen truly their own. Customisation is a key aspect of the QAQ experience, allowing for flexibility in size, design, and application. “We want people to feel like they’re adding a personal touch to their homes, whether they’re choosing a screen for a courtyard or a reception area,” QAQ says. The ability to create unique screens has been particularly popular with clients in both the residential and commercial sectors, where one-of-a-kind features are highly valued.
In Australia’s challenging climate, durability is essential, especially for outdoor installations. QAQ takes this seriously, ensuring their products can withstand a range of conditions, from coastal dampness to the dry heat of the outback. The screens, made from treated and primed compressed hardwood, come with a 25-year guarantee against rotting, splitting, or cracking. “It’s about peace of mind,” QAQ states. “Customers know that whatever the weather, their screens will stay intact and look good for years to come.”
Looking ahead, QAQ sees the demand for decorative screens growing as people continue to use them creatively both inside and outside their homes. Trends suggest that Australians are leaning more towards sustainable, customisable home features that not only meet functional needs but also add personality and style to spaces. QAQ is prepared to meet these trends head-on, continuing to evolve with the demands of their clients and finding innovative ways to make their screens part of the Australian architectural landscape.
QAQ’s unique journey—from filling a niche in the decorative panel market to becoming an integral part of Australian home and commercial spaces—demonstrates the company’s commitment to quality, style, and sustainability. Whether it’s a feature wall in a backyard or a subtle room divider indoors, QAQ’s screens bring character to spaces across Australia, one panel at a time.
