PROTEC
PROTEC Security Screen doors & Windows
Protec is smart security.
It’s built in our hi-tech factory as an all-aluminium design with Prowler Proof’s famous welded corners. The mesh is a single aluminium sheet, perforated and powder coated to the high standards you’d expect from Prowler Proof. The perforations are exactly the right size – small enough to keep insects out, big enough to allow excellent airflow and transparency. The mesh is joined to the heavy-duty aluminium frame in a process unique to Prowler Proof.
Protec is one of Australia’s strongest and best-looking security screens. The frame comes in over 300 colours to suit the black mesh. If you’re looking for smart security, you can’t go past Protec…

PROTEC has passed every imaginable test…
SECURITY
The Australian Standards (AS 5039-2008) test consists of six separate tests that all have to be passed by the same test sample. The tests include dynamic impact test, jemmy test, pull test, probe test, shear test and knife shear test.here. Edit or remove this text inline or in the module Content settings. You can also style every aspect of this content in the module Design settings and even apply custom CSS to this text in the module Advanced settings.
BUSHFIRE
Bushfire prone zones require that openable windows must be screened with corrosion-resistant steel, bronze or aluminium mesh with an opening of less than 2 mm x 2 mm (AS 3959-2009).
CORROSION
Whenever two different metals interact there is a risk of corrosion. The tests (AS 2331.3.2 and AS 2331.3.1) to show corrosion-resistance are the acetic acid salt spray test and neutral salt spray test.
ENERGY & UV LIGHT
Screens provide ventilation but can also keep solar heat and UV light out during summer, and reduce heat loss during winter. WERS testing and testing to the European Standard (EN 14501) show the reduction in solar heat and damaging UV light, and reduction in heat loss, provided by the screen.
ACCESS CONTROL
Allow unassisted access for pets or people, through the addition of optional access control accessories, such as keying locks alike, pet doors for family pets and solid panels for easier wheelchair accessibility.
INSECT PROTECTION
The mosquito protection test tests a screens ability to keep mosquitoes out over an extended period of time.
FALL PREVENTION
The National Construction Code (NCC) (BCA 2013) requires that window openings be either restricted or screened, in certain circumstances, to prevent children falling. Screens that resist an outward horizontal action of 250 N meet the code and mean that window restrictors, that prevent the window being open more than 125mm, can be removed. Screens that have been tested and passed AS5039/5040 are deemed to comply with NCC requirements. Barrier screens must either be type tested in a NATA certified testing facility, or tested onsite by the installer.

WELDED CORNERS
Screens provide ventilation but can also keep solar heat and UV light out during summer, and reduce heat loss during winter. WERS testing and testing to the European Standard (EN 14501) show the reduction in solar heat and damaging UV light, and reduction in heat loss, provided by the screen.
QUALICOAT ACCREDITED POWDER COATING
Prowler Proof is one of only 10 powder coating applicators in Australia to be approved by Qualicoat International. Qualicoat is an international benchmark of quality.
EXCELLENT TRANSPARENCY
Protec’s mesh design ensures excellent visibility through the screen. Your views of outside will not be impeded by your screen.
CONCEALED FIXING INTERLOCKS
Our custom designed interlocks are exclusive to Prowler Proof, and are currently available for single sliding and stacking doors. By choosing these interlocks it means you will have no unsightly fixing screws, and also your door will be more tamper resistant, as the recessed fixing channel makes it harder to get pliers in around the screw heads. Ask us about these interlocks.
FULL PERIMETER BOND
An adhesive is used to join the mesh to the frame. The frame is designed with special grooves that ensure when the adhesive is set you get both a mechanical and chemical bond. The adhesive is also used in other extreme applications such as aerospace and motorsports, where reliable bond through all sorts of conditions is required. The use of adhesives eliminates the corrosion associated with dissimilar metals joining, such as the joining of steel with aluminum.
FULL REPLACEMENT WARRANTY
All Prowler Proof product is covered by our 10 year replacement warranty. It’s Australia’s only screen replacement warranty and means you will get a brand new product if something goes wrong with your screen.
