Unbeatable Stainless Steel Security Design

A lot of home security screens are just not up to it. They age and corrode in the elements and that can compromise your family’s safety. But not Invisi-Gard!

Invisi-Gard® is made from 316 marine grade stainless steel mesh and backed by a 15 year warranty. Using the unique, patented pressure retention and isolation method, you can rest assured that the stainless steel mesh will defy the most determined attack from both intruders and corrosion.

Invisi-Gard’s Qualities

Corrosion Prevention of Invisi-Gard’s EGP

The construction of security screens requires stainless steel mesh to be attached to an aluminum frame, bringing two different metals together which can lead to corrosion.

To prevent this type of dissimilar metal corrosion, Invisi-Gard® have developed and patented a unique clamping system, called Extreme Grip Protection (EGP). This system cleverly captures the mesh within the frame using specially shaped co-extrusions of PVC. A PVC wedge is then used to apply uniform pressure around the frame which locks in the mesh.

The EGP system, used only by Invisi-Gard® means the mesh is able to be locked into the frame without the uses of screws or mechanical fixing, and means the potentially harmful contact between the metals is avoided.

Care and Maintenance

Your Invisi-Gard® Stainless Steel Security Screen should only ever need to be washed down with a soft brush using warm water and a mild detergent.

Rinse well with fresh water to remove any detergent residue. Do not use strong detergents or abrasive cleaners as they may scratch or damage the surface finish. (The frequency of this maintenance is determined by the location of the product). For full care & maintenance requirements visit www.invisi-gard.com.au/warranty-care

Technical Specification

Mesh Matters!

316 grade stainless steel offers superior corrosion resistance over 304 as it contains an additional substance, molybdenum, giving higher protection from corrosion, notably in marine environments.

In fact, 316 is regarded as the standard marine grade material for this very reason. In the case of window and door security screens, required to be exposed to the elements over long periods of time, it makes sense that corrosion resistance is a fundamental consideration.

A final key factor which distinguishes Invisi-Gard® products from the market, is that only the highest quality mesh is sourced which is consistently quality controlled and accredited under international standards.

Invisi-Gard® is BAL rated to protect your home against bushfires in areas from BAL-LOW up to and including BAL-40.
