By installing security screens on your door and windows, you and your family may feel secure in the knowledge that your home is well-protected and that the product you have chosen will last for a long time. Concerning the placed door and window security screen's quality and durability is not something that you should be worrying about.
You may relax knowing that the investigation has been handled for you when you use AAA Security Doors products. Our staff's research and the outcomes of recent testing have strengthened our belief that our goods are constructed from the best materials available and will consistently surpass those of our competitors.
Why does It Matter Where Your Home Security Screen is Made?
Processes that record each step of the manufacturing cycle are essential for guaranteeing quality in all areas. Answers to enquiries such as: Is the wire used to create the mesh 316 marine grade? should be accompanied by documentation from suppliers. Has the product undergone appropriate pretreatment? Has the quality of the product been checked at every stage of production? Does the colour of paint that is being used meet Australian standards? Has it undergone testing to meet international and Australian standards?
As part of our company's dedication to continuous market research and to make sure we are always offering the best products, we conducted research. The goal was to look into and contrast the standards and production methods of products with those that we use now.
We Summarised Some Important Points to Think About While Buying Such Products:
- The majority of products are typically produced by a number of subcontractors rather than at a single plant. The majority of them were small, family-run businesses that ran out of modest buildings. This made superior procedures harder to record and verify, at the very least.
- There aren't many facilities that can manufacture the superior 900 mpa tensile 316 stainless steel mesh screens. As a result, not many products created can be constructed from the best materials.
- The painting quality method in all cases fell well short of what was needed given the severe Australian climate. A product utilised in Australia should never use a powder formulation like the one utilised during the painting process.
Why does Quality Control Significantly Matter?
By contrast, Meshtec, a renowned Thai manufacturer, produces the stainless steel wiring used in our security screens. Their rigorous quality control procedures and specially made equipment guarantee the highest calibre product.
By dedicating resources to research and development, they have produced woven wiring that either satisfies or surpasses global requirements.
Starting with the appropriate materials allows for the creation of this high-quality wiring. Meshtec's high tensile wire is a speciality product that undergoes specific testing in their internally quality assurance facility to meet exacting international requirements.
With accreditations in ISO9001:2008, ISO14001:2004, ISO17025, and OHSAS18001:2007, Meshtec is able to meet the strict requirements for our products.
What do the Final Results Say?
Meshtec recently carried out an extensive test comparing their products to some of their competitors' Chinese-sourced items, not content to just evaluate their own quality. In order to replicate actual weathering circumstances, four Meshtec samples and seven competitor samples were put through a rigorous testing process.
The samples were exposed for 1004 hours in two stages, with intervals of exposure in two distinct chambers. Step one included exposing the specimens to UV light and condensation in a device called a QUV chamber. Step 2 involved subjecting the product to fogging and drying off procedures in a salt spray chamber.
This approach simulates several years of exposed conditions, and while 1004 hours (nearly 42 days) might not appear like much for materials supposed to persist for years, it proved more than adequate to deliver definitive conclusions.
In as short as 168 hours, all seven of the competitor samples displayed corrosion in varying degrees, from minor colour changes to total failure and rusting. The four Meshtec samples, on the other hand, showed no signs of corrosion and had no colour changes during the whole test time.
Final Thoughts...
Make sure the supplier of your mesh is reliable and has quality control systems monitoring all stages of the production process. Selecting high-quality mesh screens for your home doors and windows that have undergone certification and testing, like those offered by AAA Security Doors, is the simplest approach to guarantee lifetime. With our offerings, you can kick back, unwind, and take pleasure in the serenity from realising we've done the legwork.
