If you live in KwaZulu-Natal – particularly in areas like Ballito, Umhlanga, the Bluff, or anywhere along the South Coast – you’re likely familiar with the challenge of vervet monkeys. These intelligent, bold primates will push through fly screens, slide open doors, and raid kitchens in seconds. Traditional insect screens offer no real protection. Crimsafe stainless steel security screens do.
Why Standard Fly Screens Don’t Work
Standard fibreglass or plastic fly screens were designed for insects – not monkeys, not humans, not coastal storms. They:
- Tear easily under pressure from monkey paws
- Offer zero resistance to forced entry
- Degrade quickly in salt air and UV exposure
- Sag and stretch over time
- Can be cut with a pen knife in seconds
What Makes Crimsafe Screens Different
Crimsafe screens are engineered as a security product that also functions as an insect and wildlife barrier. They’re built from marine-grade stainless steel mesh with powder-coated aluminium frames – the same materials used in commercial security installations.
- 304 or 316 marine-grade stainless steel mesh – 0.9mm diameter interwoven wires that cannot be cut, pushed through or torn
- Powder-coated aluminium frames – corrosion-resistant and available in various finishes
- Advanced locking systems – anti-lift technology on sliding doors, hook locks, slam locks or deadbolts
- Custom manufactured to fit every opening precisely
The Benefits: Fresh Air Without Compromise
With Crimsafe screens installed, KZN homeowners can finally enjoy the coastal lifestyle they moved here for. Leave windows open overnight. Leave doors open during the day. Let the breeze flow through your home knowing that:
- Mosquitoes and insects are kept out
- Vervet monkeys cannot push through
- Intruders face a serious physical barrier
- Your home can breathe in KZN’s subtropical heat
Ideal For
Crimsafe screens are perfect for: coastal homes, holiday apartments, estate properties, ground-floor units, restaurants and food prep areas, offices, and anywhere ventilation and security are both priorities.
