To achieve this, a high grade tamper-resistant screw goes through a metal clamp and then through the Tensile-Tuff ® security mesh. This holds the 304 grade steel mesh in a vice-like grip so that Crimsafe products can survive almost any attack.

Fixed Screens
The Crimsafe fixed panels don’t move which can be fitted using an angled frame and reveal or face fitted. They can even be fitted inside of the fly screen track.
These type of screens are a great option in order to secure sash or louvre type windows once they are not a needed as an emergency exit.
Unfortunately, Safe-S-Cape exit can’t be used on fixed windows due to the lack of moving parts.
Hinged Screens
These Crimsafe window screens are hinged so that they can easily swing either inward or outward. The hinges are attached to the sides or top.
These are great for sliding windows with multiple panels, single hoppers, single windows, multiple hoppers, fixed or sliding windows, louvre windows, casement windows etc.
Sliding Screens
This type of Crimsafe window can be installed on triple sliding windows, double as well as single sliding windows.
The single sliding screens are a good fit for window fittings that are a bit tight and there aren’t any additional window tracks or any space to install another track. It can be used on windows that are used to serve where you need to have quick and easy access to the dining or entertaining area. There are two ways that the security screen can be installed. One is using a locking position so that the panels can slide to the right as well as left. The other is where the locking position is on the jamps so that sliding can occur on the other side.
Triple and double sliding screens are when three are 2 or 3 panels that slide upon 2 set tracks. When the overlapping occurs, then this results in reinforcement so that the created barrier is very strong and highly secured. These can be fitted on the outside or even the inside of the windows.
CRIMSAFE FAQS
What Makes Crimsafe Strong?
Crimsafe comes equipped with a patented Screw-Clamp technology that allows the mesh to be clamped down into the frame. This ensures the mesh doesn’t move and performs as intended due to the Crimsafe Screw-Clamp.
Being able to go with something as resolute as this is far better than comparable products that use plastic wedges.
For example, if the Crimsafe were to be hit, the frame would easily handle the blow due to the even spreading of force. This is what allows the Crimsafe to handle anything that comes its way compared to other types of systems. A plastic wedge is often seen on the open market and it tends to give away as soon as a person kicks it.
With this product, the mesh includes a robust 0.9mm diameter 304 structural grade wire strands for comprehensive performance every step of the way.
When it comes to the specifications for the mesh, these are simply pre-established target specifications. In general, the real-life specifications will vary depending on how the product is manufactured.
How Does the 304 Structural Grade Compare to the 316 Marine Grade Steel?
The Crimsafe is designed using a robust 0.9mm diameter stainless steel wire, which keeps everything together.
In comparison to the 0.8mm 316 wire, the Crimsafe 0.99m 304 mesh is far stronger and is measured at an additional 26.5 % thickness. This increases the ability to handle larger amounts of energy placed on the steel.
Stainless steel is aimed at providing complete security and that is what makes it such an empowering security screen. The idea is to maximise the amount of energy that is handled by the material, which is precisely what Crimsafe does. These security screens can withstand a significant amount of pressure even when attacked directly. This ensures they don’t break as soon as someone kicks or punches them.
According to studies done on the subject, Crimsafe screened are well-renowned for handling this type of pressure without breaking.
How Secure is the Tensile-Tuff Security Mesh by Crimsafe?
The security mesh is put through a number of engineering processes to make sure it is built tough. This includes using specific materials to secure the screen and ensure it does far better than the competition. The reason Crimsafe continues to be the go-to option for customers has to do with how well it does when under tension. In Australia, there are specific requirements in place and Crimsafe products meet up to those standards every step of the way. This includes tests such as jemmy testing, knife-shear testing, pull-testing, and more.
Can Crimsafe Allow Homeowners to Safely Exit During Emergencies?
In short, yes. When there is an emergency, homeowners can easily use the emergency exit window screens (Safe-S-Capes). The idea is to easily leave through the window without compromising the house’s security. The Safe-S-Cape was purposely designed to go along with the main product and will work with any type of window style.
How Does Crimsafe Regular Different From Crimsafe Ultimate?
Crimsafe Ultimate comes equipped with a long list of security features to make sure it is robust in all situations. It also has a far more aesthetically pleasing look. In comparison, Crimsafe Regular has fewer screws to hold the mesh into place (50 % less) and there is a specific cover in place to help keep these screws hidden. This is essential when t comes to ensuring the frame is as smooth as it needs to be and everything is as organised as intended. This can help keep intruders out. Crimsafe Regular is designed to handle impact better and is 5x stronger when compared to Australian standards, while Crimsafe Ultimate goes a step beyond at 7x stronger.
Is a Mid-Rail Required for Crimsafe Doors?
No, a mid-safe rail is not required for a Crimsafe door. It’s important to note, the average property owner is still recommended to invest in a mid-rail because it will add another layer of security to the door. This is essential when it comes to jemmying and it can also help with the aesthetic appealing of your screen.
Is the Crimsafe Sliding Door Easy to Remove When Locked?
As long as the Crimsafe Sliding Door is installed properly, it is not easy to remove it once locked.
Is it Easy to See Through the Crimsafe Mesh?
The aperture is measured at 1.5mm x 1.5mm making it easy to see through during the day.
Is it Safe to Use with Pets?
Yes, Crimsafe products are tested for use with birds, cats, and dogs. The mesh is not going to be penetrated by beaks or claws.
Will Crimsafe Keep Mosquitoes, Sand Flies, and Midges Out?
Crimsafe’s Tensile-Tuff mesh is designed to be larger than the average fullscreen. These insects are not going to find a way through the screen, which can help keep the home clean year-round.
Are There Other Colours Available?
No, and there is a reason for this. Crimsafe has been designed with a black mesh because it is ideal for absorbing light and doesn’t reflect either. This makes it an ideal option for homeowners that want to look through the mesh and don’t want to deal with sunlight causing reduced visibility.
Can Crimsafe Reduce Heat and Light Inside the Property?
This is going to vary depending on where the sunlight is coming from. In general, Crimsafe does work well in restricting light without blurring the view. When it comes to heat, the Crimsafe screen can cut almost half of the solar heat gain inside your property. This makes things far more efficient.
Is Crimsafe Ideal for Fire Protection?
Yes, Crimsafe can be used for fire protection and does meet all established Australian standards in this regard. Even when it comes to bushfires, Crimsafe is tested to handle that amount of heat.
When there is radiant heat coming into the property, Crimsafe can cut the heat by almost 45 %. This is what makes it an ideal solution for handling fires and keeping the property safe.
Does Crimsafe Work for Industrial or Commercial Properties?
Crimsafe has been tested on various sites and does well when it comes to heavy-duty or commercial properties. Whether this is a government office, bank, or prison, the mesh is going to hold up well as a commercial-grade solution. Since it has an additional number of screws, the mesh holds up well in all situations. The commercial-grade lineup also includes more reinforcements including having thicker frames.
When tested, Crimsafe measures to be at least 12x stronger than what is required by Australian law.
How Long does the Crimsafe Warranty Last?
Crimsafe offers a long-term warranty plan for all products, which includes 10-year coverage for the security systems and extended solutions 12 years (Crimsafe Regular) and 15 years (Crimsafe Ultimate and IQ)
Does Crimsafe Need To Be Cleaned?
The Tensile-Tuff mesh should be cleaned just like cleaning a filter for your HVAC system. It’s important to get rid of the toxins that settle into the system.
