What Xceed does for your home
Security without the premium price. Xceed is a 1.6 mm structural grade aluminium sheet with 2 mm round holes, bonded into an aluminium frame with a keyway and 3M VHB adhesive, so there is no screw or rivet to attack. Nearly 70 percent of the sheet is open air, so the breeze comes through, while the solid metal between the holes cuts glare and gives you more privacy than woven mesh. Security tested, Kids Don't Fly compliant for windows, made in Australia and backed by a 7-year warranty, then measured and fitted by our own team.
It is the screen we suggest when you want a tested security screen and the budget matters, and for west-facing doors and windows where the shade is a bonus. Aluminium cannot rust, so it suits coastal homes too.
Three grades: Safety, Barrier and Security
The same perforated aluminium sheet and keyway frame in every grade. What steps up is the hardware: the lock, the cylinder, the hinges and the wheels. On window screens the grades make little practical difference; on doors they decide how the door locks and hangs. On our security index the three grades score 75, 80 and 85 out of 100.

Available upgrades for Xceed
Xceed comes in three hardware grades. These are the add-ons and step-ups worth asking about.

Wood-grain frame
OptionalA timber-look powder coat that sits well against timber doors and cladding without the maintenance.
Emergency escape hinge
OptionalOn bedroom windows, a hinged screen that opens from inside for a quick exit and closes back into a locked position.

Xceed or SecureView?

Xceed perforated aluminium security screens questions
How is Xceed different from stainless steel mesh screens?
Xceed is a single sheet of 1.6 mm structural grade aluminium punched with 2 mm round holes, rather than woven stainless wire. It costs less than woven 316 stainless, gives more airflow (69.6 percent open area against 42.71 for SecureView), and adds privacy and shade because the sheet is solid between the holes. Aluminium also cannot rust. The trade-off is a slightly less transparent view from inside.
Will the holes restrict airflow or block the breeze?
No. With 69.6 percent open area, Xceed lets through more air than woven stainless mesh. The holes are small enough to stop flies and mosquitoes, so you can leave doors and windows open on a summer night. If your main concern is a completely clear view rather than airflow, SecureView is the better pick; if it is privacy and shade, Xceed wins.
Is Xceed good for homes near the beach?
Yes. Aluminium does not rust, and the Interpon polyester coating is rated for 10,000 hours of salt spray. Rinse the screens with fresh water every few weeks if you are right on the coast, every few months elsewhere, and avoid abrasive cleaners. If you are within a few hundred metres of the water and want stainless mesh instead, ask about the SecureView Saltwater Series.
What does the Xceed warranty cover?
Xceed carries a 7-year manufacturer's warranty, with 12 months on locks. The cover is for the screen's materials and workmanship, on the condition that it is cleaned regularly with mild soapy water. The full terms are on the warranty page.
How long does the installation take?
Usually a day once the screens are made, depending on how many you have. We measure, have the screens made to measure for your openings, then book the install. Our team will tell you the expected timing at the measure.
Is Xceed a proper security screen or a barrier screen?
A security screen. The manufacturer states Xceed has passed the Australian Standard tests for security doors and windows: knife shear, pull, impact, aluminium frame and anti-jemmy. That puts it in the same category as SecureView. Ask us for the test documents at your measure.
Does Xceed help with heat and glare?
Yes. The solid aluminium between the holes acts as a sunshade, cutting direct sunlight and UV on west-facing doors and windows. That helps keep rooms cooler in the afternoon and slows fading on floors and furniture. It is not a blind, so it will not black a room out, but people notice the difference on a hot afternoon.
Can Xceed be used on upstairs windows for child safety?
Yes, with the right fixing. Xceed is Kids Don't Fly compliant for window applications, which means it can be used on upstairs windows instead of window restrictors. No screen replaces supervision, and compliance depends on the installation, which is why we fit every screen ourselves. If fall prevention is the main job, BasiX and SecureView are also worth a look.
Can Xceed be used on shops and commercial buildings?
Yes. Xceed has been fitted to offices, retail shops, cafes and hospitality venues. It suits commercial work because it is tested, low maintenance and available in enough colours to match a shopfront. For large runs or unusual openings, the custom openings page shows what we have done before.
