Knowledge HubCrimsafe® Security
We sometimes get asked if Crimsafe stainless steel mesh can be purchased separately and applied to an existing security frame.
The simple answer is no. Here is an explanation as to why not. Stan Bond SA is a Crimsafe Authorised Licensee supplying Crimsafe® security doors, window screens and Safe-S-Cape®.
We stand by the Crimsafe name and strength, but Crimsafe is not the mesh alone. Crimsafe is a complete barrier screen security system comprising:
- 0.8 mm (Crimsafe First) or 0.9 mm (Classic and Ultimate) 304 grade high tensile stainless steel mesh
- patented Screw-Clamp retention mechanism
- tamper-resistant screws
- high durability powder coating process
These unique elements are manufactured into frames that fit your unique door or window space precisely, creating the Crimsafe Security System. For current testing, refer to the manufacturer’s evidence for the exact product range and assembly rather than treating an older test as a universal comparison.
The way the mesh is driven deep into the frame, the screw clamp method of clamping the mesh in place, and the number, spacing, placement and type of screws and even the amount of torque applied to the screws all have a bearing on the strength of Crimsafe and have been subjected to scientific analysis to ensure they work together to deliver the level of strength expected of a true security system.
The mesh, frame and fastening system work together. An impact-test result applies to the tested assembly and conditions; it does not guarantee resistance to every attack. Crimsafe mesh should not be fitted into generic frames and represented as a tested Crimsafe security system.
Crimsafe by Stan Bond is not the mesh alone. We can’t stand behind the strength of Crimsafe without the full system.
