Sun Barrier Products now offers Crimsafe, the newest innovation in security, hurricane protection and energy efficiency. Crimsafe® is a stainless steel security mesh and frame system. Crimsafe can be used to secure doors, windows, lanais and balconies.
From a distance, it looks like an insect screen. And it does the same job of allowing cool breezes to while pass through, while keeping mosquitoes out. But Crimsafe is unlike any other insect screen you've ever seen, because it makes your home virtually impenetrable to thieves and hurricanes. Since Crimsafe is a mesh, it allows light and visibility, even during a hurricane.
Look at the picture below and you can see how the Crimsafe mesh is sandwiched between two serrated pieces of aluminum that clamp the mesh tight. One is an aluminum strip with a hook and the other is the frame that the strip hooks into. But then, all three are screwed together with stainless steel tamper-resistant screws and the different components are separated by a Santoprene (rubber) bead to eliminate electrolysis that could lead to corrosion. This combination mechanically fastens the mesh to the frame and creates a solid, secure barrier that is tested for security, hurricane force windows and wind-borne debris (large missile impact.)
This system is internationally patented and unique. Only Crimsafe® features screws driven through both the clamp and the mesh and right into the frame on the other side, providing incredible strength.
Crimsafe has more to offer Florida homeowners than security and storm protection. Crimsafe also offers 55% Solar Heat Gain Coefficient (SHGC). Adding Crimsafe screens on your windows and doors can greatly reduce the amount of heat entering your home, therefore reducing the need to run the air-conditioning and thus reducing your energy costs. The energy efficient qualities of Crimsafe allows the product to qualify under the Solar Rights Law.
Types of Crimsafe:
Crimsafe is available in fixed units and Safe-S-Cape hinged units that allow for easy opening of the screens from the interior, for covering windows. Crimsafe can also be used as a balcony enclosure to replace intrusive railings, allowing airflow and maximum visibility. Crimsafe Operable Sliding Screens are designed to cover your existing sliding glass doors, have the appearance of a regualr screen, but offers security and hurricane protection and insect control, while still offering the ventilation of a screen. Crimsafe also offers Storm Doors that beautifully covers your front door while offering 24/7 security and storm protection, even when your entry door is open.
