To improve energy efficiency, the owners of this property used Crimsafe Ultimate Patio security screen to fully enclose two sides of the home, creating an unobtrusive outer skin.
The Crimsafe outer layer has a moderating effect on the internal temperature of the home by inhibiting the transfer of heat by up to 53%. The interior is kept cooler in warmer weather and heat loss is minimised during the winter months – allowing the occupants to live comfortably with reduced reliance upon heating and cooling appliances.
Crimsafe Ultimate Patio Enclosure was chosen both for its suitability for large panel installations to provide uninterrupted views, and for its superior performance in harsh environments.
Design Challenges
Situated near the coast, it was essential that the screens could withstand a demanding salt spray environment.
Crimsafe Ultimate is an architectural product purpose built for ultimate performance in coastal conditions –the 304 stainless steel, woven, pre-treated and powder coated mesh resists corrosion and a protective covers conceals the patented 410 stainless steel tamper-resistant installation screws within a sealed chamber.
