Crimsafe vs Standard Screens: The Truth Most Homeowners Don't Realise

Many Redland Bay homeowners think all security screens look the same—but not all are made equal. Standard aluminium screens may deter insects, but they often fail against forced entry. Crimsafe, on the other hand, is designed to exceed Australian Standards by up to 5 times the required impact level. A burglary happens every 3 minutes in Australia, and most intrusions occur through weak doors and windows. Crimsafe's superior design ensures your home isn't an easy target.

Here's a quick comparison you can view to help you understand the difference:

Standard security screens and doors may look fine initially, but their frames can loosen over time, leaving gaps for intruders to exploit. Genuine Crimsafe security screens are made and installed to withstand both impact and corrosion, ensuring you get unbeatable protection that blends seamlessly with your home's design.

The Mesh That Outsmarts Intruders: Inside Crimsafe's Game-Changing Design

Crimsafe's revolutionary mesh design is what gives it its edge. Made from 304-grade stainless steel, this woven mesh provides strength without sacrificing your view, clarity, or airflow. Think security screens that let you enjoy breezes and sunshine while keeping out intruders, insects, and even flying debris.

Unlike the wide range of standard security screens that rely on soft aluminium or fibreglass, Crimsafe mesh resists cutting, prying, and corrosion. Each strand is woven for optimal tension, delivering the strongest protection possible for your home. Whether you live near the coast or inland, this mesh won't rust, stretch, or fade.

Key advantages of Crimsafe mesh include:

Standard security screens simply can't compare when it comes to resilience, performance, and protection. Crimsafe's mesh is the foundation of security and comfort for modern homes in Redland Bay, Brisbane, the Gold Coast, and across Australia.

Battle-Tested Security: How Crimsafe Surpasses Every Australian Standard

Crimsafe isn't just strong—it's battle-tested. It exceeds the Australian Standard AS5039 for security screen doors and windows, which mandates an impact resistance of 100 Joules. Crimsafe Regular withstands 550 Joules, while Crimsafe Ultimate can endure impacts beyond 700 Joules. That's more than five times stronger than required.

When tested against forced entry, prying tools, and dynamic impacts, Crimsafe products outperform ordinary security doors, security windows, and security screens every time. The results are not just numbers—they represent real protection. From bushfire resistance to cyclone-grade endurance, Crimsafe offers one of the strongest safety barriers available in QLD and across Australia.

Locked Tight: The Genius Behind Crimsafe's Patented Screw-Clamp™ Grip

At the heart of Crimsafe's success is its patented Screw-Clamp™ technology—a design that mechanically fastens the stainless steel mesh to the aluminium frame. This creates a vice-like grip that distributes impact evenly, preventing the mesh from being kicked out or pulled apart.

Standard screens often use plastic wedges or adhesives, which can deteriorate under heat or pressure. The Screw-Clamp™ system, however, locks the mesh in place with tamper-resistant screws spaced every few centimetres. This means even determined intruders can't easily breach your home's defences.

Crimsafe doors and windows come in multiple configurations:

Each product offers exceptional performance and is fitted to suit your home's architecture and lifestyle. This system gives Crimsafe a structural advantage that no standard screen can match—ensuring long-term protection and peace of mind.

Built for Aussie Conditions: Rust-Proof, Cyclone-Ready, and Coastal Tough

Living in Redland Bay or along the Gold Coast means exposure to salt air, storms, and strong sunlight. Standard aluminium screens corrode quickly in these environments, while Crimsafe is engineered to thrive. Its stainless steel mesh, combined with high-grade powder coating and anti-corrosive frames, makes it the perfect choice for QLD's coastal homes.

Crimsafe products have been tested for:

Whether you're preparing for summer storms or protecting your property from intruders, Crimsafe gives you confidence all year round. Homeowners who invest in Crimsafe enjoy decades of performance, minimal maintenance, and warranties that far exceed industry standards.
