Frequently Asked Questions - Cleaning Crimsafe

5.1 - Why do I need to clean Crimsafe?
Crimsafe mesh acts similarly to an air conditioner filter or a pool filter, in that it traps dirt and impurities and requires cleaning on a regular basis.

5.2 - How do I clean Crimsafe?
Regular maintenance involves a wash down of frames and mesh with Crimsafe Wash and Wax in warm water using a soft bristle brush, followed by a clean water rinse.

5.3 - Does Crimsafe rust?
With the coating on Crimsafe intact, it will not rust. If it does chip off, you can rest easy knowing this fact – stainless steel has a high corrosion resistance; uncoated steel can last up to 60 years before signs of rusting.

Frequently Asked Questions - Crimsafe’s Emergency Exit Products

7.1 - Can I get emergency exit windows made out of Crimsafe?
Yes. We call them Safe-S-CapesTM. They allow keyless exit through windows while still maintaining heavy duty security from the outside. Safe-S-Capes come in four basic designs:

Hinged Safe-S-Capes are mounted integrally on the outside of your window and swing outwards.

Inswinging Safe-S-Capes are mounted on the inside of your window and swing inwards

Single Sliding Safe-S-Capes are ideal for use over servery windows. They slide back and forth in a single track and can be installed on the inside or outside of the window.

Double- and Triple-Sliding Safe-S-Capes generally cover large window spaces, and feature 2 or 3 panes of Crimsafe that slide back and forth in two tracks. They can also be installed on the inside or outside of the window.
