SupaScreen® Security Mesh
SupaScreen®, which is discrete and extremely strong, is manufactured with high tensile 316 Marine Grade Stainless Steel mesh supplied from Meshtec, the world leading supplier of security mesh screen.
SupaScreen® security screen doors and window screens are assembled using a patented “pressure fit” mesh retaining system, eliminating the need for unsightly screws, rivets, pins or snap-ins to retain the mesh panel in the aluminium frame. While being extremely strong and able to withstand impact levels that far exceed the Australian standard for security screens, this technology also prevents the aluminium frame and 316 marine grade stainless Steel mesh from coming into contact with each other, thus resisting galvanic corrosion and increasing the product’s lifespan.
In January 2024, Goldco® Security made the ethical choice to use Capral Aluminium’s LocAl® Super Green Aluminium for all its SupaScreen® products, which is one of the lowest carbon primary aluminium options on the market, with carbon emissions at 4kg CO2e per kilogram of aluminium, significantly lower than the global average.
