As a proud Australian, family-owned and operated business, SMR Designs Pty Ltd is authorised to manufacture and distribute Safetyline Jalousie louvre windows in Australia and the South Pacific.
Think of the future.
It’s easy to wonder if we will have solved many of the environmental, health, manufacturing and urban planning challenges we’re faced with today.
What inspires us is so much technology and innovation in our industry is already driving government, builders, architects and clients towards choosing products that create opportunities to solve these issues, not just masking problems for future generations to uncover.
Our innovative performance louvres are built with all of this at heart, with the simple idea of a window serving as much more than just an opening.
We’re already on our way to the future through smart automation, clever design, energy efficiency cost benefits and working with significantly more sustainable materials every day.
While there are other window products out there, we stand behind our smart jalousie style louvres as the best possible outcome for the end client no matter the size of their build and this is why our designs are the leading choice in the category. For us it’s about doing what we do better than anyone else, moving our industry forwards.
Safetyline Jalousie. The future louvre.

Safetyline Jalousie is a member of the Australian Glass & Window Association and Window Energy Rating Scheme. All windows are labelled with their identification, window rating and water penetration resistance.
The Safetyline Jalousie product originated in France, designed and developed by Technal (a division of the European giant Hydro). Technal is a brand which for nearly 60 years has based its business on innovation and offering even more effective solutions to meet energy efficiency requirements, the well-being and acoustic comfort needs of occupants.
The team at Safetyline Jalousie continue to work closely with both Technal and Hydro’s specialised engineering teams on new applications to improve the product, including the use of aluminium with a low carbon footprint.
Along with the extensive experience and technical support provided by Technal and Hydro, Safetyline Jalousie have also partnered with specialists in facade automation – Blue Squared Window Automation. BlueSquared window automation offerings start from a simple actuator and switch configuration through to multi-zone fully automated systems capable of integration with BMS and/or Fire Alarm systems.
With our combined experience and collaborative approach, we work together with clients to create custom system solutions and bespoke control strategies to achieve the desired functionality and performance outcomes for each individual project.
Having been inspired by the Architects Declare and Builders Declare movements, and acknowledging the impact businesses like ours can have on the environment, we saw the opportunity to kick-start a declare movement for the supply and manufacturing industry.
The launch of Suppliers Declare strongly aligns with Safetyline Jalousie’s commitment to a better built environment.
In any business it’s important to recognise how our processes can affect the world around us which is why we are calling on our peers in the industry to support this initiative.

As the most recent addition to the Safetyline Jalousie family, Ali is still coming to terms with the fact that a typical telephone conversation will often be answered with “You’re calling from Safety what”? followed by having to sound out and spell the name “ja-lou-sie” (it happens to us all). Born in Lebanon, Ali has moved around a lot over the years, living in Cyprus, Sydney for most of his Schooling, as well as China and Hong Kong. He currently resides in Melbourne where he spends a lot of time in his garden or doing some sort of work around the house. (Not too dissimilar to many other Melburnians following the onset of Covid). With a very obvious cultured background, Ali is warm and talkative and he’ll get you talking too.
Adam is our strategist and big ideas generator whose somewhat reserved nature could have some mistake him as a bit of an introvert. But that’s only until this quiet thinker is given a whiteboard and a marker – and then there’s no stopping the dialogue! 7 Years in at Safetyline Jalousie, Adam is continually expanding on his knowledge of the construction industry and is incredibly driven in his pursuit to help create better buildings via the use of better products. When Adam’s not on his quest to improve Australia’s built environment he’s spending most weekends escorting one of his 4 young kids to birthday parties, sometimes multiple parties. He has some stealth survival tips for other parents currently in the same predicament.
Michael has become recognised at Safetyline Jalousie for his continually changing hairstyles (facial hair included). Buzz cut, undercut, dreadlocks, even a mullet. We’ve see it all. His current man bun could even be gone before we finish this sentence. Always up for a laugh, friends and colleagues love a chat with Michael, and his easy-going and approachable nature has earned him the respect of all staff. In fact, he even has a cohort of followers on the factory floor sporting his same hairstyles. Outside of work Michael has recently turned his attention to mountain bike riding. His very first ride ended with a pretty serious accident resulting in a deep puncture wound to his leg– it’s been a sore topic for his leg and his ego.
Mandy has been with Safetyline jalousie since day one so would technically be considered a geriatric in “Jalousie years”. Whilst her role has changed and evolved over her time with the business, one thing that hasn’t is the happy and fun, team culture that she says “continues to make each day at work a joy”. As a mum of two little ones, Mandy thrives on new challenges and a little bit of chaos. Although, as a self-proclaimed clean freak, she ensures that all forms of chaos are kept in a very neat and tidy manner. We’ve also observed that Mandy appears to have an inherent fear of colour and will almost only ever be seen in black or white (or sometimes grey if she is being really out there).
As a busy mother of 4, Lisa is highly skilled in organising, delegating, and troubleshooting – the proficiencies which she also demonstrates in her daily management of the Safetyline Jalousie office. Lisa tells us that she lives by the saying “What doesn’t break you makes you stronger”. (No doubt she’s had to use this little piece or personal encouragement from time to time to deal with our infinite requests)! Always on the go, Lisa has a very active lifestyle and starts every day with a walk to the beach with her husband and two dogs. Of an evening she still has the energy to spare for star jumps and squats in her makeshift gym/ (our office) before heading home to her other full-time job as “mum”.
Leigh aka “Wolfpack” is one-half of the driving force behind Safetyline Jalousie and comes with two decades of experience within the Australian manufacturing and construction industry. The multi-award-winning entrepreneur and father of three youngsters is a passionate advocate for supporting Australian-made goods and improving the built environment for future generations to come. Always up for a challenge, Leigh never sits still and is constantly pushing himself to test his physical and mental endurance. He’s given just about everything a go. From amateur MMA fights, triathlons, or personal development endeavours, Leigh stands by the motto, ‘I never lose, either I win or I learn’.
