StormGuard®
Hinged Doors
Amplimesh® StormGuard® hinged security doors keep your home and family safe every day, while also standing up to cyclones and extreme winds in high-risk areas. Made from durable stainless steel mesh and heavy-duty aluminium frames, they let in fresh air and natural light without compromising on strength or security. Trusted by over 2 million Australians, StormGuard® combines everyday safety, durability, and modern style for your home
Built to protect. Opens with ease.
Using high tensile marine grade Stainless Steel, woven into a fine mesh, Amplimesh® StormGuard® are extremely tough cyclone-tested security screens built for Australia’s toughest environments..
StormGuard® hinged security doors have been rigorously tested to meet and exceed the requirements for cyclonic impact speeds up to 44 m/s. Their performance goes beyond Australian standards, delivering exceptional strength and security for your home.
Designed with durability in mind, StormGuard® hinged doors offer peace of mind every day, providing unmatched protection for your family without compromising on style or natural light.

Exceeding Australian Security Standards
(Australian Standard AS5039.1:2023)
Amplimesh® SupaScreen® Stainless Steel and IntrudaGuard® Aluminium security products are subjected to a rigorous regime of impact tests, jemmy attacks and pull testing under this standard, to ensure that the inherent strength and structural integrity of the manufactured security product is maintained.
(Australian Standard AS5039.3: 2023, Part 3 Methods of Test)
The dynamic impact test was created to imitate an intruder attempting to kick, shoulder or otherwise force their way through the screen. The accepted and standardised test to replicate this is five 200 joule impacts (Energy).
(Australian Standard AS5039.3: 2023, Part 3 Methods of Test)
SupaScreen® Stainless Steel and IntrudaGuard® Aluminium security products are tested for material hardness and tensile strength by subjecting the mesh to a standardised physical cutting attack, which draws a knife over the mesh a number of times.
(Australian Standard AS1530.4:2014, Appendix B7)
SupaScreen® Stainless Steel security products have been tested in general accordance with this standard and when exposed to incident radiant heat SupaScreen® achieves a 59% reduction in the radiant heat flux between the inside and outside of the product.
(Australian Standard AS3959:2018)
SupaScreen® security screens have been tested under this standard and satisfied the requirements for Bushfire Attack Level (BAL) 40.
(Australian Standard AS1170.2:2021)
In cyclonic regions glazed windows and doors may need to be protected from flying debris. SupaScreen® Stainless Steel security products have been tested to resist a 4kg, 100mm x 50mm timber travelling at 34m/s fired from an air canon. The screen is then shot an additional five times with 8mm steel ball bearings, shot into the screen at the same speed.
(Tested under the Window Energy Rating Scheme)
Screens are a useful tool to give a home Natural Cross Flow Ventilation and keep air-con costs down but they can also reduce solar heat and UV light out during summer periods, and help reduce heat loss during winter. The Window Energy Rating Scheme also known as ‘WERS’ independently tests the reduction in solar heat and damaging UV light across a range of typical glazed scenarios found in windows at Australian residences.
Technical specs
Produced with only the highest quality materials and rigorously tested at our NATA approved facility Amplimesh StormGuard® security screens are designed to withstand the harshest cyclonic regions.
Amplimesh StormGuard® cyclone screens have been specifically engineered to meet and exceed the requirements of Australia’s highest wind regions, achieving impact results of up to 44m/s. Amplimesh StormGuard® screens also offer unprecedented levels of security, exceeding the Australian standard by over 20 times.
Amplimesh Stormguard® security screens are assembled into a high-quality door and window frames using our Amplimesh® patented isolated screw clamp (ISC) System technology. The ISC system combines extreme wedge pressure, high friction materials, and custom-engineered screw clamps to efficiently absorb and disperse impact energy equally along the frame, ensuring every single mesh strand is secured.
Typical screw clamp systems screw through the mesh directly into an aluminium frame, increasing the chance of galvanic corrosion (electrolysis). Amplimesh StormGuard® ISC system uses stainless steel screws that bite into an engineered plastic retainer, completely isolating the screws from the frame.
Care & maintenance
The finishes that are applied to Amplimesh® products are of high quality and are extremely durable and weather resistant. Like all fixtures around the home some maintenance is required to preserve the original appearance of the product.
The finishes that are applied to Amplimesh® products are of high quality and are extremely durable and weather resistant. Like all fixtures around the home, maintenance is required to preserve the original appearance of the product.
Surfaces should be kept clean by prompt removal of all dust, dirt, grime and any foreign matter using a soft sponge with clean water and a small amount of mild detergent. Thoroughly wash off any residue of detergent with clean water.
- Do not under any circumstances use an abrasive cleaning agent (Ajax or similar) or cleaning material (such as steel wool).
- If small scratches occur, they can be buffed out using a good quality car polish.
- Frequency of cleaning is largely dependent on the location of the building. In most circumstances, cleaning may be carried out every 3-4 months.
- Amplimesh® products installed close to more severe conditions, such as marine or industrial environments, should be cleaned every 2-4 weeks.
- To maintain an ultra-clear view through your security screens, we recommend using our Amplimesh® Organic Security Door & Screen Cleaner, available through your local Amplimesh® Dealer.
