30 years of Crimsafe in Toowoomba
A family business built the Toowoomba way: install only the best product, and install it to the highest standard.
Where Althaus comes from
There is a street in Kearneys Spring called Kuhn Street. It was named after a family that built homes in Toowoomba for decades. Wayne Althaus's family on his mother's side.
Stanley Kuhn was a builder. He worked in Toowoomba at a time when a tradesman's reputation was built entirely in the community. No reviews. No websites. Just the work, and whether it held up.
On the other side of Wayne's family, his father painted homes in this town for 45 years. He showed up, did the work properly, and went home. That was the standard. Not because anyone was watching, but because that was who he was.
Wayne Althaus grew up watching both. And when he started Althaus Security Screens in 1993, he built it the same way.
The first authorised licensee
Althaus Security Screens & Doors was established in Toowoomba in 1993 by Wayne Althaus. From the beginning, the business was built on one principle: install only the best product available, and install it to the highest standard.
In 1996, Crimsafe, then a new and revolutionary security screen technology, was looking for its first authorised manufacturer and installer in Toowoomba. Wayne was handpicked as that licensee. He has held that authorisation for 30 consecutive years.
Every Crimsafe product is custom-manufactured locally at our Harlaxton workshop. You're not receiving a mass-produced import. You're getting a solution built specifically for your home, by the same professional who comes to fit it.
