Enhancing Home Security with Crimsafe® Security Screens
When most people think of home security, they imagine deadbolt locks, surveillance cameras, or alarm systems. But in Florida — where threats come not only from break-ins but also from hurricanes — protection needs to be 24/7, multi-functional, and built to endure. That’s where Crimsafe® security screens redefine home protection.
These screens are engineered to stand up to both burglars and flying debris, without compromising your home’s visibility, ventilation, or aesthetic. Trusted by homeowners around the world and approved for Florida’s toughest codes, Crimsafe® is more than a screen — it’s a permanent line of defense.
In this guide, we’ll explore what makes Crimsafe® different, the advantages it offers for Florida homeowners, and the ideal areas to install these cutting-edge systems.
What Makes Crimsafe® Security Screens Different
Not all security screens are created equal. Crimsafe® stands out for its engineering, materials, and patented fastening system. Let’s take a closer look at what sets these screens apart from conventional storm or security options.
Tensile-Tuff® Stainless Steel Mesh
Crimsafe® uses high-tensile, 304-grade stainless steel mesh that’s incredibly resistant to cutting, impact, and corrosion. Unlike aluminum or plastic screens that degrade over time, this mesh maintains its strength even after years of exposure to Florida’s harsh sun and salty air. It resists both category 5 hurricane debris and common burglary tools.
Screw-Clamp™ Fastening System
Crimsafe®'s patented Screw-Clamp™ system is one of its key features. Rather than simply welding or riveting mesh to a frame (as most security screens do), Crimsafe® clamps the mesh between two metal frames using tamper-resistant screws. This distributes force evenly across the entire screen, making it almost impossible to dislodge, even under repeated impact.
Certified for Storm and Security Protection
Crimsafe® security screens are rigorously tested and certified to meet or exceed:
- Florida Building Code hurricane impact standards
- ASTM security resistance protocols
- Corrosion resistance (for coastal installations)
- Fire attenuation and UV filtration standards
These certifications give homeowners peace of mind knowing the system they’re installing isn’t just visually appealing — it’s battle-tested against both nature and crime.
Key Benefits: Storm Protection, Security & Aesthetics
Installing Crimsafe® offers homeowners a wide range of benefits, from storm preparedness to energy savings and increased property value.
Hurricane-Grade Impact Resistance
Crimsafe® is tested to withstand a 9-pound 2x4 missile traveling at over 30 mph — the same standard used for impact windows. The mesh doesn’t break, shatter, or compromise visibility. For homeowners who don’t want to deploy shutters before every storm, Crimsafe® offers always-on protection.
Year-Round Burglary Defense
Crimsafe® screens form a permanent barrier between your home and potential intruders. The mesh can’t be cut with a knife, pried with a crowbar, or dented by a hammer. It’s strong enough to withstand sledgehammer attacks, giving your home unparalleled protection — even when you’re away.
Curb Appeal Without Compromise
Unlike traditional security bars or bulky shutters, Crimsafe® screens blend in seamlessly with your home’s architecture. They allow for:
- Full natural airflow and ventilation
- Unobstructed outdoor views
- Custom color matching for frames
- Pet-safe and child-safe barrier protection
This makes Crimsafe® ideal for Florida homeowners who want protection without sacrificing beauty or comfort.
Where Crimsafe® Works Best in Your Home
Crimsafe® security screens can be customized to fit virtually any type of opening in your home, including areas most vulnerable during storms or break-ins.
Entry Doors
Secure your home’s main entry points without losing airflow. Crimsafe® allows you to keep doors open for breeze and visibility while maintaining complete protection from intruders and bugs.
Sliding Glass & French Doors
Large glass doors are common in Florida homes — and common targets during hurricanes. Crimsafe® protects these expansive, vulnerable surfaces without the need for panels or hurricane shutters.
Windows
Crimsafe® offers window screens for both casement and sliding windows, giving you year-round protection with light and airflow. It's the perfect alternative to permanently closed shutters or storm panels.
Patios & Lanais
Enclose your patio with Crimsafe® mesh to create a secure, ventilated space that can be enjoyed even in storm season. It's a great solution for families who want to protect outdoor furniture, grills, or play areas from debris and theft.
