A Cut Above the Rest.
We conduct knife shear tests to ensure that intruders can’t slash their way into your home with a sharp knife. Read more...
Knife Shear Test
This involves a heavy-duty trimming knife being forcefully pulled along the mesh multiple times. If the mesh isn’t penetrated in a continuous line for more than 150mm, it passes the test. Crimsafe passes with flying colours.
XNothing Beats Crimsafe.
To ensure our screens stand strong against violent impact and keep even the strongest crims out, we conduct impact tests. Read more...
Impact Test
The Australian Standard Dynamic impact test puts security screens up against a 45kg weighted impact five times. It was found that not only did all of our screens far surpass the competitor screens, but also exceeded the Australian Standard by over 12 times (Crimsafe Commercial).
XThe Strongest Bar None.
To ensure that our screens stand strong against tool attacks, we conduct crow-bar attack tests. Read more...
Lever Attack Test
A large ‘jemmy’ is inserted at all locking, hinging and fastening points around the screen until either 80 degrees of rotation or 45kg of force is achieved. Crimsafe stands firm proving its ability to withstand forceful tool entry.
XStays Standing. Every Time.
Intruders often try to forcefully pull a screen to gain entry. But with Crimsafe, that’s not an option. Read more...
Pull Test
A pull test is designed to simulate a forceful intrusion, with the screen being pulled at the top, side and bottom. Crimsafe screens stand firmly against the tugging.
XNo Barriers to Safety.
To ensure that our screens are safe for balustrade and fencing, load tests are conducted. Read more...
Balustrade Test
Weight is pushed onto screen panels to replicate inward and outward pressure. Thanks to our tough mesh and unique Screw-Clamp technology, Crimsafe screens are able to withhold tremendous force and pressure, making for excellent fall protection.
XCan Handle the Heat.
To keep your home cool and minimise unnecessary use of air-conditioning, we test our screens for their ability to block outside heat. Read more...
Solar Heat Gain Test
To test Crimsafe’s ability to keep the heat outside in summer, and insulate it inside winter, a screen is placed over a glazed window and its heat-blocking performance is monitored. Testing reveals Crimsafe improves energy efficiency in a home by up to 53%.
XFit for the beach.
To ensure our screens are fit to live near the beach, and won’t be tarnished by the sea air, we conduct salt spray tests. Read more...
Salt Spray Test
To test this, we mimic 10 years of harsh, seaside weather by spraying a salt solution on the mesh for 3000 hours. Crimsafe screens pass with no hint of corrosion.
XUninvited Insects.
We protect you against even the tiniest of intruders. An insect resistance test proves it. Read more...
Insect Resistance Test
When a swarm of mosquitos were held inside a Crimsafe Tensile Tuff mesh testing device, 99% remained inside failing to get through to the other side.
XOut of harm’s ray.
Intruders aren’t the only dangerous thing we keep out of homes. Our screens block out 62% of harmful UV rays while still letting in daylight. Read more...
UV Light Test
To test this, an intense UV lamp is positioned onto the screen and an instrument measures the filtration rate.
XFor a Breath of Fresh Air.
We conduct airflow tests to be sure that while Crimsafe keeps lots of things out, it still welcomes in a breeze. Read more...
Airflow test
For this test, Crimsafe Tensile-Tuff mesh is fitted into a custom-designed wind tunnel. It is found to let in an impressive average of 53% of the airflow, which means naturally good airflow in your home thus minimising the need for air conditioning.
XCan Weather the Weather.
To ensure you can feel safe inside your home, even during wild weather, we conduct cyclone debris tests. Read more...
Cyclone Debris Test
Testing involves firing heavy wood and metal missiles repeatedly at different velocities onto the screen. Crimsafe screens withhold the projectiles and debris from wind gusts of 392kph, meaning ultimate protection against even the most severe storms.
XDefence in the Face of Fire.
We conduct ember attack tests to ensure that your home is protected from leaping fiery embers. Read more...
Ember Attack Test
Crimsafe has tested its security screens to meet the highest levels in bushfire protection, and can be used in bushfire prone areas up to and including those rated BAL-FZ.
Crimsafe’s Tensile-Tuff® stainless steel mesh is specially designed to a size and shape (1.5mm x 1.5mm aperture) that meets the requirements of the Australian Standard AS 3959-2009 bushfire protection guidelines and prevents ember penetration during bushfires.
XStifles the Spread of Flames.
To ensure our screens are a hindrance and not a help to spreading flames in the home, we conduct fire attenuation tests. Read more...
Fire Attenuation Test
Crimsafe screens are placed over a furnace opening and the reduction of radiant heat is measured. Our screens achieve up to 59% attenuation of radiant heat.
