Protecting Your Business with Commercial Security Screens
For Florida business owners, your property is more than walls and windows — it’s your livelihood, your investment, and your reputation all rolled into one. Whether you run a boutique on a busy downtown street, a restaurant along the Gulf, or a sprawling warehouse inland, your building houses not just products and equipment but also the trust of your employees, customers, and community. Unfortunately, every hurricane season and every news headline about local burglaries serves as a reminder of how fragile that sense of security can feel.
This is why an increasing number of businesses across Tampa Bay and throughout Florida are turning to Crimsafe® commercial security screens from RollShield. These heavy-duty yet discreet systems provide year-round protection against hurricane debris, forced entry, and vandalism — all without sacrificing visibility, airflow, or aesthetic appeal. When paired with Florida Building Code compliance and RollShield’s expert installation, they represent one of the smartest investments a business can make for long-term protection and operational continuity.
Why businesses choose Crimsafe®
Florida businesses face dual threats: severe weather events and criminal activity. Temporary fixes like plywood boarding or welded bars may offer a quick solution, but they come with serious drawbacks — they’re unattractive, inconvenient, and often fail when needed most.
Crimsafe® represents a different approach: permanent, code-approved protection that is strong, sleek, and designed for everyday use. Unlike bars or gates that make your property look closed or uninviting, Crimsafe® blends into your building’s architecture while providing robust defense against the elements and unwanted intruders.
What sets Crimsafe® apart:
- Impact-tested durability: Every Crimsafe® screen is tested to withstand high-velocity windborne debris that hurricanes hurl at structures, and they’re engineered to absorb blows from sledgehammers, crowbars, and other break-in tools. This means one product protects you from both nature and crime.
- Tamper-proof design: The patented Screw-Clamp™ fastening system uses tamper-resistant screws to lock 304-grade stainless steel mesh into the frame. This design distributes impact evenly across the screen, preventing “pop-out” failures or weak points that criminals might exploit.
- 24/7 visibility: The mesh is nearly invisible from the inside, allowing you to maintain a bright, open feel for employees and customers — unlike bars or roll-down gates that make a property feel closed off.
- Always on guard: Once installed, Crimsafe® screens require no deployment or extra steps when a storm approaches. They offer round-the-clock protection without interrupting your day-to-day business.
For companies located in hurricane zones or high-traffic areas, Crimsafe® is a one-time investment that pays dividends in security, compliance, and peace of mind — year after year.
Applications: entryways, display windows, storage areas
One of the greatest advantages of Crimsafe® is its versatility. RollShield custom-fabricates each screen to fit your exact needs, whether you’re protecting a small shop or an expansive warehouse.
Storefronts and display windows
Retail businesses rely on their displays to attract customers, but those same windows are prime targets for break-ins. Crimsafe® allows you to keep merchandise visible after hours — no more hiding your products behind bars or opaque coverings. The stainless steel mesh also filters UV rays, reducing fading of fabrics, signage, and displays over time.
Entry doors and emergency exits
Break-ins often start with a door. Crimsafe® secures main entrances, employee-only doors, and emergency exits, all while maintaining ADA compliance and an inviting look. Customers and staff can come and go as normal — but intruders face an impenetrable barrier.
Storage and inventory rooms
Whether you store tools, electronics, auto parts, or medical supplies, your inventory is valuable. Crimsafe® screens keep these areas secure not only from theft but also from storm damage. Flying debris can’t penetrate, and looters can’t pry them open.
Warehouses and industrial bays
Large, open buildings like warehouses are notoriously vulnerable to both weather damage and unauthorized entry. Traditional metal grilles can block airflow and light, making workspaces unpleasant. Crimsafe® solves both issues, offering heavy-duty protection while allowing natural ventilation.
Crimsafe® is also trusted by schools, churches, and municipal buildings seeking discreet, code-compliant security solutions that don’t make facilities look like fortresses.
ROI: protection, insurance discounts, customer peace of mind
Installing Crimsafe® screens isn’t just a safety measure — it’s a strategic business decision that pays off in multiple ways.
Property protection
The costs of repairing damage after a break-in or storm can spiral quickly — from broken glass and stolen inventory to weeks of lost productivity. Crimsafe® stops those losses before they start by deterring theft and withstanding storm debris. Businesses protected by Crimsafe® report fewer incidents, faster post-storm recovery, and lower repair bills.
Insurance savings
Many commercial insurance carriers offer wind mitigation credits or discounts for properties protected by products that meet Florida Building Code (FBC) or Miami-Dade NOA standards. Because Crimsafe® meets or exceeds these certifications, it can help lower annual premiums and offset installation costs over time.
Customer and employee confidence
Security isn’t just about safety — it’s about perception. A store with unsightly bars might feel unsafe, while a business with Crimsafe® screens projects professionalism, care, and security. Customers feel comfortable visiting, even after dark, and employees gain peace of mind opening and closing each day.
