Crimsafe Safe-S-Cape Windows Explained and When Your Home Needs Them

Crimsafe Safe-S-Cape windows are security screens engineered to provide high-strength protection against intruders while allowing fast, keyless escape from the inside during a crisis. Burglaries in QLD are up 20% – secure your home with Crimsafe now. If you want to sleep soundly knowing your home is secure, understanding how these Crimsafe products work and when your house needs them is essential.

Tired of worrying about home safety? Your family’s safety is your top priority. Ours too. Many Australian homeowners install security screens along with blinds and shutters, believing they have solved the problem completely. What often goes unnoticed is that some standard screen products can restrict an urgent escape. Crimsafe Safe-S-Cape was designed to combine protection and safety in one integrated system, so you never have to choose between the two.

What Are Crimsafe Safe-S-Cape Windows – And Why They’re More Than Just Security Screens

This Crimsafe product is a specialised window screen system within the broader Crimsafe product range. It may look like a regular security screen, but internally it operates very differently.

Standard fixed screens are built to prevent forced entry. Crimsafe Safe-S-Cape is designed to prevent forced entry while also allowing safe internal exit if required.

Each system includes:

The screw-clamp system distributes impact across the frame to improve overall strength and resistance. Anti-jemmy features help resist prying attempts from outside. These products are custom-made and made-to-measure to suit the exact window opening and frame layout. They are available across the Crimsafe regular and Crimsafe ultimate range and can be configured for hinged, sliding, fixed and hung window systems.

The key difference is simple. This Crimsafe product combines security and urgent access in one product.

These Crimsafe windows combine strength, smart design, and everyday practicality, making them a powerful addition to any home with existing blinds or interior shutters. At Securelux, we supply precision-made Crimsafe products tailored for hinged and sliding windows, ensuring a seamless fit that works with your current layout and finishes.

Could Your Family Escape in a Fire? How Safe-S-Cape’s Quick-Release System Works

In a crisis such as a fire, seconds matter. If a security screen requires keys or tools to unlock, that delay can become critical.

Safe-S-Cape windows are designed with a keyless, quick-release mechanism located inside the house. The operation is straightforward:

This creates a clear and accessible escape path without needing keys.

From the outside, the screen remains secure. The mesh stays tensioned and locked into the aluminium frame using screw-clamp technology. The anti-jemmy design helps resist tampering. The release system cannot be activated from outside.

This balance between strong external resistance and easy internal access is what separates this product from regular security screens.

Why Australian Homes Are Upgrading to Safe-S-Cape for Emergency Compliance

Across Australia, building standards require certain bedroom windows to function as compliant emergency exits. While requirements vary by state and building classification, exits must generally be accessible from the inside without the need for keys or tools.

Homeowners often discover compliance concerns during renovations, extensions, building approvals, the installation of new blinds or shutters, or property inspections. If a required exit window has a permanently fixed security screen, it can restrict access during a crisis.

These systems are designed to maintain strong security while allowing internal escape capability. When properly measured and installed, they support the dual goal of protection and accessible exit.

For families with children, elderly residents or multi-level homes, accessible exits are not just a compliance matter. They are a practical safety consideration. Contact our team at Securelux and get a free quote today.

Safe-S-Cape vs Standard Security Screens: The Critical Safety Difference

The difference becomes clearer when comparing features side by side.

Standard screens focus purely on keeping intruders out.

Safe-S-Cape focuses on keeping intruders out while allowing your family to get out safely if a crisis happens.

Security should never leave you locked inside your own house.

Renovating, Building, or Adding Security? When Safe-S-Cape Is the Smart Choice

The best time to consider this product is during a new build or renovation. At this stage, adjustments to frame design, hinge direction, and window layout can be made efficiently.

This Crimsafe product is particularly suitable when installing new hinged or sliding windows, replacing outdated security screens, integrating security with shutters or awnings, or designing bedrooms that require compliant impromptu exits.

Because each system is custom-made, it is designed to fit the exact window opening length and structural frame dimensions. This ensures proper locking function and smooth internal release. When selecting a security solution, homeowners should evaluate strength, reliability, ease of internal access, compliance considerations, available colours, and long-term durability.

Safe-S-Cape FAQs: Costs, Retrofitting, Compliance, and Warranty Explained

Can it be retrofitted to existing windows?
In many cases, yes. Suitability depends on the condition and structure of the existing window frame. A professional measure is required to confirm compatibility.

Can these be installed with existing shutters?
Yes. Most internal shutters can remain in place, as screens are custom-measured to suit the window and allow both systems to function properly.

Will shutters block the internal release?
No, if correctly measured. Your installer will ensure shutters do not interfere with access or operation.

Is this available in different colours?
Yes. A range of powder-coated colours is available across the Crimsafe range, allowing integration with different house styles.

Do they reduce security compared to fixed screens?
No. The same tensile mesh and screw-clamp technology are used. The difference lies in the integrated internal release mechanism, not reduced protection.

How much does it cost?
Pricing varies depending on window size, number of screens, chosen range and installation complexity. The most accurate way to obtain pricing details is to request a free quote.

Is it required on every window?
No. It is typically recommended for bedrooms or rooms that require backup escape capability.
