Choosing Security Screen Doors and Windows

May 21st, 2026

What’s more, sharing your living space with winged insects can be downright unpleasant as well. You need a solution that combines a ventilation-improving insect screen with a secure, toughened entry point, and at CommandeX, this is what we provide.

But with different types of security screen windows and doors on the market, choosing the one that suits you the most can be a challenge. Your decision should be guided by the unique needs of your home or business, your budget, and the prevailing conditions within your area.

Meet the Standard

In Australia, in order to be considered a true ‘security screen’, your screen must meet Australian Standard AS5039-2023. There is also a standard for installation, Standard AS5040. You can always ask to see your installers license. Otherwise, you could be installing little more than an expensive fly screen.

What’s Inside?

Many businesses constitute a large investment on behalf of their owners. If your business is housing an expensive stock of machinery, or sensitive documents, stronger security screens on your windows and doors could be worthwhile to protect your property. The Xceed lineup fit this application well.

What’s Outside?

For homes in bushfire prone areas, cyclone regions or coastal environments, SecureView EclipX is independently tested to meet bushfire attack levels BAL 12.5 through to BAL 40, cyclone resistance against a 4kg timber projectile at 30 metres per second, fire attenuation testing, and salt spray testing to 1,000 hours under AS2331.3.1 for the frame coating and 10,000 hours under AAMA 2605.05 for the mesh coating.

For properties within 500 metres of the coastline, or up to 2 kilometres where prevailing winds carry salt air, the SaltWaterSeries provides additional protection with frame coating tested to 3,000 hours under AS2331.3.1 and a 20 year extended warranty

By taking into consideration your situation, you can make an educated decision in regard to your needs. Security screen doors and windows can do a lot more for you than simply keeping the bugs out.
