Invisi-Gard vs. Crimsafe

Like any savvy consumer, if you’re thinking of purchasing a security screen door, you’ve probably done some research. If you’ve done it, you also know that there are tons of products on the market that claim they’re the best and safest. Two better known options are Invisi-Guard and CrimSafe. They’re both effective ways of maintaining a barrier between your home and any potential intruders, and they’re great reinforcements for your existing doors and windows.

Let’s explore the differences between the two so that you can make a more informed buying decision.

Invisi-Guard Facts

Invisi-Guard is one of the best security doors on the market, and is known for its strength and durability. Let’s take a look at some of its main selling points.

Made of the strongest mesh around

The Invisi-Guard is incredibly strong, made from woven marine grade 316 stainless steel mesh. This mesh is more resistant to corrosion than the 304 grade, so you can be sure it will be just as strong for years to come. The doors are also reinforced with an aluminum frame for added strength and flexibility.

The mesh that Invisi-Guard uses to make its security screens is tested to Australian Standards and easily passes the AS5041-2008 test for knife-shear.

Three-point locking system

All doors are equipped with a three-point locking system which provides added security. In addition the aluminum framing has made it possible for the Invisi-Guard to pass the lock and hinge lever test AS5039-2008.

Protected From Harsh UV Rays

Melbourne is known for its high UV rate due to the intense sunlight. Constant exposure to the sun will fade and damage most fly screens, but not Invisi-Guard, which is pre-treated with the highest quality UV-resistant powder coating.

Great versatility

You can tailor the Invisi-Guard screen to your needs, whether you want to mount it on a sliding or hinged door, or mount it on your windows for added protection.

Invisi-Gard also complies with requirements up to BAL40 – which is important if you’re building in related areas.

Crime Safe Facts

CrimeSafe also provides an effective way to protect your home and family from intruders. It uses a device called a “screw-clamp” to fasten the trap deep into the door frame.

Strong stainless steel

The CrimpSafe is also made of stainless steel, only it is made of marine grade 304. This steel, although still incredibly strong, is not as corrosion resistant as Invisi-Guard. In Melbourne, where the sun is harsher and stronger than ever, the consumer must think about what will last the longest against the elements.

This design means that less dirt and grime will collect on the edge of the screen frame.
