Crimsafe uses a 0.9mm diameter 304-grade stainless steel wire which is trademarked Tensile-Tuff®. Other mesh security systems use a 0.8mm diameter 316-grade wire.

When compared to 0.8mm 316 wire, Crimsafe Tensile-Tuff® 0.9mm 304 wire has a 26.5% thicker cross-section. The thicker cross-section means that at the same strength level, Tensile-Tuff® can withstand loads at least 25% greater, making it harder to break or cut.

The cost of Crimsafe can vary depending on a range of factors, however, North Coast Blinds & Security are your licensed manufacturer of Crimsafe products and can help you determine the exact cost for your needs.

As a trusted local manufacturer we offer a range of Crimsafe security screen doors, window screens and patio enclosures to keep your home or business safe from unwelcome intruders, whether two-legged or multiple-legged!

Crimsafe security screen doors typically range from $850 upwards as a general starting price. The price for a Crimsafe security screen window can range from $100 upwards. However, the cost of a Crimsafe product can be greatly affected by the product, size, installation and any specific requirements.

When examining the cost associated with a new Crimsafe Door, Window, Screen or Patio Enclosure you should take into consideration the following:

Dimensions – The dimensions of the door, window or outside area
Colour – Are you after a standard colour or do you require a special powdercoated colour

Application – Do you need new door tracks etc
Installation – Ease of installation

Crimsafe screens and doors well exceed the Australian Standards testing in all of their ranges. Whilst intruders may try to break through the screen, the mesh used in Crimsafe cannot break under attack and is resistant to being cut with a knife or similar object and it can take the force of at least a category 3 cyclone. Whilst you may see a dent in the mesh, unlike other screens, they won’t break apart.

Crimsafe mesh comes in black only. This is due to the transparency of the black mesh is better than other colours and is a key feature of Crimsafe mesh. Crimsafe frames and fittings consist of the Crimsafe standard colour range including: Marble Black Satin, Monument Matt, Woodland Grey Satin, Deep Ocean Satin, APO Grey Satin, Anodic Natural Matt, Ultra Silver Gloss, Dune Satin, Paperbark Satin, Surfmist Satin, Classic Pearl White Gloss, Primrose Gloss, White Birch Gloss, Casuarina, Wester Red Cedar or customise with any Dulux or Interpon colour.

The great thing about Crimsafe is that it does keep bugs out whilst letting the air flow in. Flies, mosquitos, spiders and other unwelcome creatures are kept out 100%.

We do not recommend that you paint your screen as this will instantly void your warranty.

Whilst you may install a dog door in your Crimsafe door you will need to be aware that your security screen will no longer be classified as secure and that your Crimsafe Warranty will no longer apply.

Any installation of a dog door, particularly for larger dogs may allow, a burglar easy access to your home.

Whilst it can be done you will need to weigh up the pros and cons.

Crimsafe screens are one of the few screens available that is cat safe. Cats will generally get out of the house if they are a house cat by pushing/clawing at the mesh until it pops out of the frame or the frame bends.

You can rest assured that with crimsafe screens and doors your feline friend will be safe inside.

It all depends on how much security you need and the look that you’re after for your home! If you live in a neighbourhood prone to break-ins, you should consider securing all your openings with the Ultimate Crimsafe range of products.

If you just want the middle range of security while keeping out insects and bugs, a sturdy aluminium Diamond Grill (7mm) door or screen could be suitable.
