Let summer in, keep crims out

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.

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).

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.

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.

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.
