The Benefits of a Multi-Purpose Security Screen

Security Screens

The decision to install a security screen or security door is often triggered by the desire to protect the home from unwanted intruders. However, Domine wire mesh security screens offer a variety of additional features over standard security screens, making them a 'multi-purpose' screen.

The benefits of a multi-purpose security screen

Choosing a home security screen mesh with multiple functions means that the house and its occupants are protected not only from unwanted visitors but also from other less obvious dangers such as

bushfire prevention

Window fall prevention

Damage caused by extreme weather events such as hurricanes

Multi-purpose security screening windows and doors can even help to improve energy efficiency and comfort your home.

Fire Resistant: This is where the product reduces the intensity of the effects of fire by reducing the spread of radiant heat and flame. This rating is important regardless of where the building is located.

BAL Rating: The fire resistance of the product. These ratings are most relevant to buildings in bushfire-prone areas.

Security Screens

Security screens are installed to give you and your family peace of mind - knowing that your home is well protected and having confidence that the product you have chosen will last. The last thing you want to worry about is the quality of the security screen mesh installed and whether it will last a long way.

With Domine security screen mesh, you can rest easy because we've taken care of the research for you. Recent test results, coupled with research by our staff, have increased our confidence that our products are made from the best materials and will continue to outperform our competitors' products.

Does it matter where the security screen mesh is made?

The key to ensuring quality in all parts of the production cycle is to have processes in place to document each step. Suppliers should be able to provide evidence to answer the following questions: Is the wire used to form the mesh actually marine grade 316 or stainless steel 304? Has the product been properly pre-treated? Are the powders used suitable for Australian conditions? Have they been tested to Australian and international standards?

As one of the professional screen mesh suppliers, Domine wire mesh's commitment to ongoing industry research and ensuring we continue to deliver the best products possible.

Quality Control

Testing meshes

The two standard tests applied to security screens specifically highlight the superior performance of Domine security screen mesh. In both cases, the strength and corrosion resistance of our mesh showed it to be significantly better than the competitors.

Knife Shear Test

The first test is an Australian standard designed to measure the strength of a steel mesh, called knife shear AS5041-2008. the test is designed to simulate a knife attack by a potential burglar attempting to cut through a security window or door. Domine security screen mesh passed both the horizontal and vertical knife tests.

The second test that highlights the characteristics of stainless steel security mesh is the neutral salt spray test (Australian Standard AS2331.3.1). This test compares the relative corrosion resistance between competing systems and security doors and screens.
