Crimsafe Security Screens
Crimsafe is a stainless steel security mesh and frame system. It is used to secure doors, windows, patios and pools from intruders, storms and insects alike.
From a distance, it looks like an insect screen. But, unlike an insect screen, Crimsafe reduces solar heat gain by 52%, keeping your home cooler in the summer in addition to keeping mosquitoes out. Crimsafe is unlike any insect screen you’ve ever seen, because it makes your home virtually impenetrable to thieves.
Two special features mean it beats more burglars…
- The mesh is “screw-clamped” so it can’t be kicked out.
Look at the picture on the right and you can see how the Crimsafe mesh is sandwiched between two serrated pieces of aluminum that clamp the mesh tight. One is an aluminum strip with a hook and the other is the frame that the strip hooks into. But then, all three are screwed together with stainless steel tamper-resistant screws and the different components are separated by a Santoprene (rubber) bead to eliminate electrolysis that could lead to corrosion.
The combination mechanically fastens the mesh to the frame and create a barrier that can’t be kicked in – The Screw-Clamped™ Mesh that Beats More Burglars.
This system is internationally patented and unique. Only Crimsafe® features screws driven through both the clamp and the mesh and right into the frame on the other side, providing incredible strength.
Stainless Security Screen
2. Crimsafe’s stainless steel security screen is 0.9mm / .035” thick and precisely woven, so every strand backs up the others.
Research shows that the most common method of entry through security screens is a well-placed series of kicks that bust the screen apart. That won’t work with Crimsafe. You can kick at Crimsafe’s Tensile Tuff™ screen repeatedly, and you may injure yourself trying to break through it.
It’s also incredibly difficult to cut Crimsafe screen. You can take a machete and hack away at our mesh and you’ll have a hard time getting anywhere. You might put a few holes in it but you won’t be ale to fit through them. That’s because Crimsafe’s Security screen has such strong “shear” resistance. What that means is that a burglar can’t make a hold in the mesh by stabbing it, and then make it bigger by using his weight to drag a knife through it. Take a look below at how Crimsafe mesh stands up to an Australian Standards test called, appropriately enough, “The Knife Shear Test.” There’s 15kg (33lb) of force pushing the knife into the mesh, and 30kg (66lb) pulling it along the face of the mesh. You can see that Crimsafe is successful because the tip of the knife doesn’t penetrate the mesh, it just skips over it. It’s an incredibly tough test to pass, but Crimsafe does it easily.

So when we say Crimsafe beats more burglars…
We really mean it. Burglars don’t have a long time to spend trying to get into your home. They must get in, quickly, quietly, and get out. It’s too had to get through Crimsafe. So burglars will give up and move on.
