Australia’s strongest security screen

Crimsafe’s unique Screw-Clamp™ technology means that the mesh is screwed into the frame and clamped down with a vice-like grip using the Crimsafe Screw-Clamp.

This makes Crimsafe much stronger than other products that use a plastic wedge to hold the mesh in place.

When hit by an impact like a kick, Crimsafe spreads the load around the whole frame and back into the structure of the building, meaning Crimsafe can resist enormous impacts compared to plastic wedging systems, which only localise the impact, making them relatively easy to kick out compared to Crimsafe.

The mesh is also made out of 0.9mm diameter 304 structural grade wire strands and woven together in such a tight way that each strand supports the others around it.

The specifications pertaining to the mesh and other products that we supply are our target specifications. The actual specifications for items supplied may differ, taking into account reasonable manufacturing tolerances.

Our Tensile-Tuff® security mesh undergoes several hardening processes to make it stronger than ordinary steel of the same diameter. Our mesh is stronger than any of our current competitors’ mesh in its class. All Crimsafe products have significantly outperformed the impact levels required by Australian Standards and can resist higher levels of impact than competitor products. Crimsafe also passes Australian Standards for jemmy testing, pull-testing and knife-shear testing. View Crimsafe Testing Results.
