Modern security screens – Security without sacrificing style

May 21st, 2026

Home security no longer needs to look like a fortress

Modern security screens combine strength, style and visibility, protecting your home from intruders, insects and flying embers without obstructing your view or compromising the look of your home.

Why traditional security measures fall short

Heavy steel bars were once the standard for window security. But visible deterrence has its limits. Traditional bars are often secured with only a few mortar screws, a determined intruder with enough force can pull them away. They also block airflow, reduce visibility and make a home look institutional rather than lived in.

CommandeX security screens take a different approach. Strong enough to stop forced entry. Sleek enough to disappear into the frame.

The CommandeX range

CommandeX offers a full range of security screen doors and windows to suit every home and budget:

• SecureView Eclipx – 316 marine grade stainless steel woven mesh, 940 MPa tensile strength, patented fixing system
• SaltWaterSeries – 316 marine grade stainless steel with additional coastal powder coating, independently tested to 3,000 hours salt spray
• Xceed – structural grade perforated aluminium, corrosion resistant and heat reducing
• BasiX – 316 marine grade stainless steel woven mesh, cost effective entry point into the stainless mesh range

All products are available in a wide range of colours stocked immediately from the CommandeX Brisbane warehouse, no powder coating delays.

Independently tested to Australian Standards

Every CommandeX security screen is independently tested and exceeds Australian Standards AS5039-2023 across knife shear, impact, anti-jemmy, pull, probe and shear testing. The patented two part wedge system bonded with 3M VHB aerospace adhesive eliminates the mechanical fixing points that traditional security screens rely on providing superior strength without visible hardware.

Professional installation across Australia

CommandeX supplies over 200 licensed dealers across Australia, all committed to providing quality products and professional installation. Qualified installers ensure every screen is fitted correctly, making the most of its toughened construction and delivering the security performance it was designed to achieve.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do security screens obstruct the view?

SecureView Eclipx woven stainless steel mesh has a 42.71% open area and 1.575mm aperture, making the mesh virtually invisible from inside the home. The black powder coated mesh creates contrast that disappears visually when looking outward, maintaining an unobstructed connection to the outdoors.

Are modern security screens strong enough to stop a break in?

Yes. CommandeX security screens are independently tested to AS5039-2023 across knife shear, impact, anti-jemmy, pull, probe and shear testing. The patented two part wedge system bonded with 3M VHB aerospace adhesive eliminates the mechanical fixing points that traditional security screens rely on, providing superior strength without visible hardware.

What is the difference between a security screen and a flyscreen?

A flyscreen is designed to keep insects out and offers no meaningful resistance to forced entry as it can be pushed through, cut or removed with minimal effort. A security screen is constructed from high tensile stainless steel mesh or perforated aluminium, independently tested to withstand knife shear, impact and jemmy attacks. Security screens keep insects out and intruders out.

How do security screens compare to security bars?

Security bars provide a physical barrier but rely on mortar fixings that can be pulled away under force. They block airflow, reduce visibility and create a significant obstacle in the event of a fire or emergency. Security screens provide equivalent or superior forced entry resistance while maintaining full airflow, visibility and emergency egress capability.

Are security screens suitable for renters?

Yes. Security screens are installed into the door or window frame and do not require structural modifications to the property. Most landlords welcome security screen installations as they protect the property and are a permanent improvement. Tenants should confirm with their landlord before installation.
