Your family’s safety is your top priority. Ours too. At Securelux, we offer free quotes to help you make the best decision for your home.

Security

Crimsafe: A Fortress Against Intruders

Crimsafe security screens are products that are highly renowned for their strength and durability. Unlike standard flyscreens, Crimsafe screens are designed to withstand significant force, making them a formidable barrier against break-ins. While some homeowners consider installing security shutters for added protection, Crimsafe security screens offer a less obtrusive yet equally effective solution. With their patented Crimsafe Ultimate technology, these screens can resist impacts up to 550 Joules, far exceeding what Australian standards recommend for security screens.

Crimsafe security doors and window screens are constructed with high-tensile stainless steel mesh, securely clamped into a frame using a unique Screw-Clamp™ system. This design ensures the mesh remains firmly in place when installed, even under extreme pressure. Whether you have hinged doors and windows, sliding doors and windows, or stacking doors, Crimsafe is a product we highly recommend that offers tailored solutions to secure every entry point in your home.

Features of Crimsafe Security Screens:

Flyscreens: A Basic Barrier or a False Sense of Security?

Traditional flyscreens are excellent at keeping insects out but offer minimal resistance against forced entry. The mesh used in flyscreens is lightweight and can be easily cut or kicked in by intruders. Unlike shutters, which provide robust protection, flyscreens may not suffice for home security. While they are screen products that serve the purpose of insect protection, relying solely on flyscreens for home security may provide a false sense of safety and is something we cannot recommend.

Limitations of Flyscreens:

Insect Protection

Keeping Bugs Out: Flyscreens vs. Crimsafe

Both flyscreens and Crimsafe screens are effective at keeping insects out of your home. The mesh used in Crimsafe screens has apertures small enough to prevent flies, mosquitoes, and other common pests from entering, providing the same level of insect protection as traditional flyscreen products.

However, Crimsafe screens offer additional benefits. The high-tensile stainless steel mesh not only blocks insects but also provides unobstructed views from your doors and windows and allows for better airflow. This means you can enjoy the Queensland breeze without compromising on security or comfort.

Which Offers Better Insect Protection: Flyscreens or Crimsafe?

While both product options keep insects at bay, Crimsafe screens are highly recommended due to their durability and longevity. Flyscreens can become damaged over time, leading to holes or tears that allow insects to enter. Crimsafe screens are built to last when installed, reducing the need to get a frequent replacement and installation service, and ensuring consistent insect protection.

Aesthetics

The Look of Security: A Comparison

When it comes to appearance, Crimsafe screens offer a sleek and modern look that complements the style of your home, from sliding windows to hinged doors. Unlike bulky security bars, traditional shutters, or steel window grilles, Crimsafe screen products provide security without sacrificing aesthetics. While shutters can offer privacy and some level of security, they often block natural light and obstruct views. Crimsafe screens, on the other hand, allow for unobstructed views and natural light to come in through your windows and doors.

Flyscreens, on the other hand, can detract from the visual appeal of your home. The mesh and frames may appear flimsy and can obstruct views due to the thicker, more noticeable mesh material.

Balancing Security and Style: Crimsafe vs. Flyscreens

Crimsafe allows homeowners to balance security and style seamlessly. With a wide range of custom designs available for doors and windows—including hinged doors, sliding doors, stacking doors, fixed windows, sliding windows, and window screens—you can choose options that match your home’s architecture. Unlike shutters, which can be bulky and limit natural light, Crimsafe’s powder-coated frames in various colours suit your taste without compromising on light or views.

Cost and Value

The Price of Peace of Mind: A Cost-Benefit Analysis

Investing in Crimsafe security screens for your doors and windows is highly more expensive upfront compared to the installation of traditional flyscreens. However, when considering the long-term benefits and the level of protection you get, Crimsafe offers excellent value for money. Unlike shutters, which can be costly and may require regular maintenance, Crimsafe screens are low-maintenance and built to last. The cost of replacing stolen property or repairing damage from a break-in can far exceed the initial investment in the installation of quality door and window security screens.

Consider these range of factors when evaluating cost:

Flyscreens are cheaper to get installed but may require you to get frequent replacements and installation due to wear and tear. They also do not provide any real security against intruders, potentially leading to higher costs in the event of a burglary.

Long-Term Investment: Crimsafe or Frequent Flyscreen Replacements?

Crimsafe screens are built to last, with a durability that withstands the harsh Queensland climate. This longevity means you won’t need to get a replacement service frequently, saving money over time. Additionally, the added security can potentially lower your home insurance premiums, providing further financial benefits.

On the other hand, flyscreens may require regular replacements due to damage from weather, pets, or accidental tears. Over time, the cumulative cost of replacing flyscreens can surpass the initial investment in Crimsafe products.
