Which security screen offers the best visibility?

SecureView Eclipx delivers the best through-screen visibility in the CommandeX range. With a 42.71% open area and 1.575mm aperture, the woven stainless mesh virtually disappears into the frame, maintaining unobstructed views and natural light while providing full security. No midrails required.

Which security screen is best for coastal homes?

SaltWaterSeries is specifically recommended for coastal properties. Built on the same 316 marine grade foundation as SecureView Eclipx, it features an additional protective powder coating independently tested to 3,000 hours under AS2331.3.1, three times the standard benchmark. Recommended for properties within 500 metres of the coastline or up to 2 kilometres where prevailing winds carry salt air. Backed by a 20 year extended warranty.

Which security screen is best for bushfire prone areas?

SecureView Eclipx and SaltWaterSeries both satisfy AS3959:2018 requirements for bushfire attack levels BAL 12.5 through to BAL-40 as standalone products. For coastal properties in bushfire prone areas, SaltWaterSeries provides both BAL-40 bushfire protection and 3,000 hours salt spray resistance in one product.

Which security screen is best on a budget?

BasiX is the most affordable entry point into the CommandeX woven stainless steel mesh range. Made from 316 marine grade stainless steel, it provides excellent insect protection and a visual deterrent at a lower price point. BasiX meets AS5039-2023 when fitted with a triple lock system. For full security screen performance without a triple lock requirement, SecureView Eclipx is the recommended choice.

Which security screen is best for privacy?

Xceed perforated aluminium provides the best privacy in the CommandeX range. The perforated aluminium panel obscures the view from the street while maintaining airflow and outward visibility from inside the home. AS5039-2023 certified when fitted with a triple lock system.
