When it comes to home security, you deserve peace of mind knowing your family and property are protected by the best. Crimsafe security screens don’t just meet the minimum requirements—they surpass them by a mile. While many competitors barely scrape through Australian standards, Crimsafe raises the bar, delivering unmatched strength, durability, and value. Here’s why Crimsafe is the gold standard in security screens.
Exceeding Australian Standards
The Australian Standards for security screens ensure that products meet basic levels of protection, but Crimsafe doesn’t stop at “basic.” One standout example is the Dynamic Impact Test, designed to replicate the force of a physical attack like a kick or punch. The standard requires a security screen to withstand impacts of 100 joules—but Crimsafe doesn’t settle for just passing. Crimsafe Regular handles impacts up to 550 joules, Crimsafe Ultimate up to 750 joules, and Crimsafe Heavy Duty up to a jaw-dropping 1,200 joules. That’s 12 times the standard requirement. Competitors? They usually hover just above the minimum, leaving you exposed to potential threats.
Unmatched Knife Shear Resistance
A common tactic intruders use is attempting to cut through security screens. To combat this, the Knife Shear Test measures how much force is needed to slice through the mesh. Crimsafe’s proprietary Tensile-Tuff® stainless steel mesh is the thickest on the market, making it exceptionally resistant to cutting. The force required to penetrate Crimsafe far exceeds the standard—and outshines the competition.
Stronger Against Break-Ins
The Jemmy Test, which simulates forced entry using tools like crowbars or screwdrivers, is another area where Crimsafe shines. Thanks to its unique Screw-Clamp™ technology, Crimsafe screens can’t be pried open like traditional riveted or welded screens. This innovation keeps the mesh tightly secured to the frame, providing exceptional resistance to even the most determined intruder.
European RC2 Certification
For those who want the best of the best, Crimsafe’s iQ range is the only mesh security screen door in Australia to pass the European RC2 test. This rigorous certification includes static stress, impact, and manual attack simulations with an array of tools. Competitors rarely attempt this advanced test, as their products often fall short.
Corrosion-Resistant and Long-Lasting
Crimsafe is designed to last. Unlike cheaper alternatives that corrode over time, Crimsafe screens endure extreme conditions. They’ve passed up to 3,000 hours in salt spray tests, simulating 30 years of exposure in harsh environments. Whether you live by the coast or in a humid climate, Crimsafe stands strong where others fail.
Energy Efficiency and Comfort
Beyond security, Crimsafe offers tangible lifestyle benefits. Independent testing shows that Crimsafe blocks up to 53% of solar heat gain and 62% of UV rays, keeping your home cooler and reducing energy costs. No other security screen combines protection and energy efficiency like Crimsafe.
Don’t Settle for the Bare Minimum
When it comes to protecting your home, minimum standards aren’t good enough. Crimsafe not only exceeds every Australian standard but also outperforms competitors in strength, durability, and innovation. Choosing Crimsafe means choosing the ultimate in security and peace of mind for your home.
Invest in Crimsafe—because your family’s safety deserves the very best.
