Crimsafe
Others
Material Grade
✔ High tensile strength 304 structural grade stainless steel mesh is tough and absorbs more energy during a real-world attack.
❌ Variety of wire specifications some unsuitable for residential homes. 316 mesh is softer, weaker and more brittle, making it easier for crims to cut.
Mesh Size
✔ 0.9 mm wire diameter mesh is 26.5% thicker in cross-section than typical screens for unmatched strength and resistance to cutting or piercing.
❌Cheap 0.8mm wire diameter mesh, which is a weaker tensile that’s easier to cut or break through.
Fixing Method
✔ Crimsafe’s innovative Screw Clamp® technology locks the mesh down and spreads impact to stop forced entry.
❌ Weak plastic wedge or glue adhesive systems. Adhesives can easily dry out and become brittle, leaving homes open to break-ins.
Frame Construction
✔ Reinforced aluminium corner stakes and mitred frame design allow flex on impact, maintaining strength and structural integrity.
❌ Fully welded corners are rigid and can fracture or crack under heavy impact.
Impact Strength
✔ Crimsafe is Australia’s strongest security screen. Independently tested again and again. Far exceeds Australian Standards (200J impact).*
❌ Not all are independently tested. Some screens only just meet Australian Standards. Some aren’t even tested.
Fastening Method
✔ Exclusive tamper-resistant screws uniquely tooled so they can’t be removed with standard tools.
❌ Standard screws or pop rivets are often visible and easily removable using common household tools.
Locks
✔ Fitted with market-leading triple locks tested with Crimsafe screens for maximum strength and security.
❌ Others may use single-point or generic, no-name locks that offer limited protection.
Quality
✔ Industry-leading quality. Designed, tested, and proven by Crimsafe’s dedicated R&D team to outperform imitators.
❌ Inferior copies and generic designs with limited innovation or testing to real-world standards.

How Crimsafe Outperforms Competitors
How is Crimsafe Australia's strongest security screen?
Many Australian homes may have what looks like a security screen, but it won’t stack up against an intruder. Stronger is safer for you and your family.
The strength of a Crimsafe security screen comes from many unique parts working together:
- Only Crimsafe has 0.9mm structural grade Tensile Tuff® mesh – a high tensile structural grade stainless steel that absorbs energy on impact and can withstand high amounts of force, should a prowler attempt to break-in to your home. The inherent strength of Crimsafe’s Tensile Tuff® mesh results from its tightly woven structure, which not only provides durability but also ensures that the mesh does not compromise on visibility or airflow.
- Only Crimsafe has patented Screw Clamp® technology, which secures our mesh to the frame with a vice-like grip. On impact, the Screw Clamp® hook bites down on the screen’s mesh, absorbing and dispersing impact through the screen.
- Only Crimsafe has tamper resistant screws that cannot be unscrewed with everyday tools, which a crim could easily access at any hardware store.
With Crimsafe your home is secure and you can still enjoy natural light and ventilation without obstruction.
Not all security screens have been independently tested (or pass) Australian Standards.
Can you risk a security screen NOT holding up to the full force of a criminal’s kicks, punches or charges? Many other screens only pass the Australian Standards, which is simply not enough to give you peace-of-mind that your family and home are protected.
Only Crimsafe is independently tested again and again to exceed this Standard, but not all security screens have been tested (or pass).
Crimsafe exceeds the new Australian Standard AS5039, which measures five impacts of 200 Joules on a security screen. In fact, Crimsafe security screens offer four levels of protection and are so strong that they can withstand single impacts of 550 Joules (Crimsafe Regular), 750 Joules (Crimsafe Ultimate) and 1200 Joules (Crimsafe iQ).
Only Crimsafe is continuously innovating and testing
Crimsafe has been proudly protecting Australian families and homes since 1996. Crimsafe exceeds standards for impact, jemmy and knife-shear testing to ensure our security screens provide the highest level of protection against intruders.
Only Crimsafe continually invests in research and development to stay ahead of emerging threats and to provide solutions that meet the evolving needs of homeowners. Independent testing shows that Crimsafe security screens can absorb more impact than other security screen products on the market.
Crimsafe is the strongest and most trusted. We test, test and test again.
At Crimsafe, we don’t just meet those standards – we’ve developed our security doors and windows to exceed them and we go above and beyond to set the highest standard for security screens. We do the testing, so you don’t have to.
Strong patented Screw Clamp® Technology versus weak wedge or glue systems
Only Crimsafe has patented Screw Clamp® technology, giving it incredible strength and unrivalled resistance to real-world attacks from prowlers, unlike other screens that have weak plastic wedge or glue systems.
Crimsafe’s patented Screw Clamp® technology clamps down on impact and distributes the force of an impact across the entire aluminum alloy frame. This ensures that the mesh remains intact, even under tremendous force, providing superior protection against potential intruders. This innovative approach is what sets Crimsafe apart in the security screen market.
Watch to learn more about the strength of Screw Clamp®:
Only Crimsafe has strong 304 Tensile Tuff® versus weak 316 mesh
304 grade is a stronger high tensile stainless steel mesh than 316 grade because of the metal compound (grade) under impact.
304 structural grade stainless steel has a high chromium and nickel content, and has premium powder coating applied, making it highly resistant to corrosion and oxidation – ideal for use in our diverse Australian climates.
Whether you live in an area with high humidity, near the coast, or in a region prone to severe weather conditions, Crimsafe security screens maintain their integrity and appearance over time with regular cleaning.
This resistance to environmental factors ensures that the screens remain effective and visually appealing for years, offering long-term value to homeowners. Crimsafe’s 304 structural grade mesh also provides an extra layer of security against natural elements such as bushfires and cyclones. Its tight weave prevents embers from entering your home during a bushfire, while its strength allows it to withstand debris impacts up to 46 m/s, ensuring that your home remains protected during extreme weather.
Home intruders will often attempt to slash security screens with a blade to gain access to your home. Only Crimsafe’s 0.9mm structural grade 304 Tensile Tuff® mesh exceeds the Australian Standards Knife Shear test, which simulates an intruder attempting to cut through the screen with a knife, a common break-in method.
Learn more about Tensile Tuff® mesh:
Only Crimsafe has strong 0.9mm Tensile Tuff® stainless steel mesh versus others with weak 0.8mm mesh
0.9mm Tensile Tuff® mesh is up to 26.5% stronger than many competitors’ thinner 0.8mm mesh. 0.9mm structural grade 304 stainless steel mesh has more tensile strength than weaker 0.8mm, making it stronger and resistant to cutting or tearing.
How? Crimsafe’s Tensile Tuff® mesh is 26.5% thicker in cross-section, which assists its ability to absorb impact energy better at high tensile levels, providing unmatched strength and durability to keep your family safer at home.
0.9mm Tensile Tuff® mesh has 1.6mm aperture size for better airflow and unobstructed views, while providing robust protection against intruders and extreme weather.
Only Crimsafe has mitred corners versus inferior welded corners
Only Crimsafe has strong mitred corners with a solid one-piece aluminium corner stake. This allows more flex in the frame to allow for impact absorption. Others may have welded corners, which may restrict the movement of the door and provide weak points in the frame for prowlers to easily target and enter your home.
