What are the Best Alternatives to Crimsafe?

When choosing security screens for your home, selecting the right brand can be overwhelming. Many manufacturers claim to offer the best protection, but not all security screens are created equal. If you’re searching for Crimsafe alternatives, it’s important to consider options that provide the same—if not better—strength, durability, and reliability. At Absolute Security, we believe that Prowler Proof is the superior choice for homeowners who want uncompromising security.

In this guide, we compare two of the most well known security screen brands—Prowler Proof and Crimsafe—highlighting key differences and why Prowler Proof stands out. We also briefly look at other Crimsafe alternatives, including Invisigard, SecureView, and ArmourX.

Prowler Proof vs. Crimsafe: What’s the Difference?

Both Prowler Proof and Crimsafe offer stainless steel mesh security screens, but they differ in construction, materials, and overall performance. Prowler Proof ForceField uses 316 Marine Grade Stainless Steel Mesh, offering superior corrosion resistance, while Crimsafe uses 304 Structural Grade Stainless Steel Mesh, which is strong but less resistant to corrosion. In terms of construction, Prowler Proof features a fully welded aluminium frame, creating a seamless and more durable design, whereas Crimsafe relies on a screw-clamp system, which may increase the potential for galvanic corrosion if two dissimilar metals (screw & mesh) come into contact. Independent testing, including cyclone impact testing at James Cook University, has proven Prowler Proof’s superior strength, withstanding centre impacts up to 104 km/h.
