“If a job requires greater corrosion resistance than grade 304 can provide, grade 316 is the ‘next step up’. Grade 316 has virtually the same mechanical, physical, and fabrication characteristics as 304, with better corrosion resistance, particularly to pitting corrosion in chloride environments”Australian Stainless Steel Development Association (ASSDA)

Stronger fixing system

SaltWaterSeries uses the same CommandeX patented fixing method as the rest of the range, the only system of its kind in the Australian market.
fixing

  • 3M®’s High Performance VHB® Adhesive Bonding – The acrylic chemistry of the VHB adhesive eliminates the need for rivets and screws, distributing the load across the full bond line rather than concentrating stress at individual fixing points
  • Keyway Fixing System – This innovative system creates the precise pressure required to activate the adhesive. The system cleverly creates a clear space between the mesh and the aluminium frame, eliminating the risk of galvanic corrosion, which can occur when dissimilar metals make contact.
  • No galvanic corrosion risk – because dissimilar metals never make direct contact, the system avoids the galvanic corrosion that rivet and screw fixings are prone to in coastal and high-moisture environments
  • Exceeds AS5039-2023 – The fixing system surpasses the Australian Standard Impact Test requirements, independently tested and verified 

Compliance and specification confidence

  • Tested and compliant to AS5039-2023 (security screens) and AS5039.2:2024 (installation)
  • SecureView Eclipx tested to bushfire attack level (BAL) 12.5, 19, 29 and 40 under AS3959-2009
  • 46.6% reduction in radiant heat flux under AS1530.4-2005 Appendix B7
  • Ready-to-use tender document wording and CAD files available by calling 1300 720 838 to get access.

Built for the long term

CommandeX is the only Australian manufacturer weaving its own stainless steel mesh in-house, full control from wire to finished product, backed by an 11-year standard warranty (extendable to 15). For coastal properties where corrosion is the biggest long-term risk, SaltWaterSeries is the specification built specifically to outlast it
