SecureView vs Invisi-Gard – Which Security Screen is Right for Your Home?

SecureView and Invisi-Gard are two very closely matched security screens on the Australian market. Same steel grade, same tensile strength, same wire diameter. So why do tradies across Australia choose SecureView?

When you choose SecureView you are not just choosing a security screen, you are choosing the CommandeX Group ecosystem behind it. Behind every CommandeX dealer is full support of the CommandeX Group including Rockford a dedicated wholesale manufacturing ensuring your dealer can deliver custom sized screens within a guaranteed 10 working day turnaround, trade hardware through BuyRite and the only dedicated extreme coastal product in Australia the SaltWaterSeries. But let’s start with the honest comparison.

Australian Standards AS5039-2023

Both SecureView and Invisi-Gard security screens are independently tested and meet Australian Standards AS5039-2023. Any security screen meeting this standard is strong and fit for purpose.

Material

Both SecureView and Invisi-Gard use 316 marine grade stainless steel mesh with a wire diameter of 0.8mm and a tensile strength of 900 MPa.

On paper the mesh specifications are virtually identical, both are genuine 316 marine grade products built for Australian conditions

Fixing System

Both brands have patented fixing systems designed to eliminate metal on metal contact between the stainless steel mesh and the aluminium frame preventing galvanic corrosion.

SecureView uses a patented two part wedge system bonded with 3M VHB, a high-performance adhesive used in the construction and aerospace industries. The 3M VHB adds an additional bonding layer on top of the mechanical wedge.

Invisi-Gard uses their EGP (Extreme Grip Protection) system, a patented PVC wedge that captures the mesh within the frame using specially shaped co-extrusions. No screws, no metal-on-metal contact.

Both systems are well engineered, and both eliminate the galvanic corrosion risk.

Salt Spray Testing

Both brands stand behind their products with strong showings under AS2331.31. For standard residential environments both products perform well. For those living in extreme coastal conditions, the story is different… 

For Extreme Coastal Environments – SaltWaterSeries

For properties within 500 metres of the coastline, or up to 2 kilometres where prevailing winds carry salt air, CommandeX offers the SaltWaterSeries a security screen specifically engineered for extreme coastal conditions 

The SaltWaterSeries frame coating is independently tested to 3,000 hours under AS2331.3.1, 50% more than Invisi-Gard’s full system result. It carries additional testing for cyclone resistance, fire attenuation and extreme corrosion environments, and is backed by a 20 year extended warranty.

Invisi-Gard has no equivalent product for extreme coastal environments 

The Difference Most People Never Consider

On pure product specifications SecureView and Invisi-Gard are closely matched. Both are quality 316 marine grade products that will protect your home.

But when you choose SecureView you’re not just choosing a product, you’re choosing the entire CommandeX Group ecosystem behind it.
