Performance and Testing
Security Testing
We put our Invisi-Gard range through tough conditions in independent testing facilities to ensure our products are tested to not just meet, but exceed Australian Standards.
Fire Attenuation Testing
Fire attenuation, simply put, is the lessening of energy as a result of the presence of a screen.
Bushfire Testing to AS1530.8.1
Bushfires in Australia are almost a common occurrence during the hotter months due to Australia’s hot and dry climate. Bushfire events in Tasmania, New South Wales, South Australia, Canberra and Victoria have been the most tragic bushfires events to occur in Australia’s history.
Corrosion Testing
Material choice Invisi-Gard uses only marine grade GR316 stainless steel mesh in its system. The reason for this is simply that GR316 affords a greater corrosion resistance than a lesser grade such as GR304.
The Australian Stainless Steel Development Association (ASSDA) states that GR316 has a substantial advantage over lesser grades due to its chemical composition. The presence of Molybdenum in quantities greater than 2% increases the corrosion resistance of the metal by 20 to 30% particularly in regards to pitting corrosion.
Fall Prevention Testing
Those responsible for the care for young children know about obvious safety issues such as the use of child restraints in cars, crossing roads carefully, or ensuring chemicals and medicines are stored out of reach.

⭐ Security Doors Heritage Homes – Ballarat and Hobart.
Heritage and federation homes in Hobart and Ballarat often feature hand-built timber frames, oversized openings and out‑of‑square reveals that make standard security doors difficult to fit. Custom-built security doors are ideal for these properties because they can be measured precisely to irregular frames while preserving the architectural character of the home. In many Victorian-era homes — from Battery Point, West Hobart and South Hobart through to Ballarat’s Soldiers Hill, Buninyong, Brown Hill and Wendouree — Colonial Castings decorative safety doors can be a better aesthetic match, offering classic federation patterns and heritage colour palettes that suit period façades. It’s important to note that Colonial Castings doors are safety doors, not security doors, as they do not undergo impact, jemmy or knife‑shear testing. For full security performance, particularly in high‑risk or coastal/riverside environments, a custom 316 marine‑grade stainless steel security door provides the best combination of strength, corrosion resistance and heritage‑friendly styling.
