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.

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).

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.

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.

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.

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%.

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.

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.

UV Light Test

To test this, an intense UV lamp is positioned onto the screen and an instrument measures the filtration rate.

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.

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.

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

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.
