Protec security screens and doors

What Protec is

Protec is Prowler Proof's perforated aluminium security screen. Instead of a woven mesh, the infill is a single aluminium sheet punched with a pattern of small holes, then powder-coated to match the frame. That sheet is welded into a heavy-duty aluminium frame. No screws or rivets hold the corners together.

It's the screen we recommend most for street-facing windows and front doors on modern homes, because it does three jobs at once: security, airflow and daytime privacy.

Where Protec works best

• Front doors and street-facing windows, where you'd rather people didn't see straight in.
• Bedrooms and bathrooms you want to leave open on a warm night.
• Modern facades, where a flat, clean panel suits the look of the house.

Worth knowing before you choose

Daytime privacy works because it's brighter outside than in. At night, with the lights on inside, that flips and people can see in more easily, so you'll still want blinds or curtains in bedrooms. The view out is slightly more filtered than through stainless steel mesh. If the view is the whole point of a window, look at ForceField for that one.

Doors and windows

Protec is made as hinged security doors, sliding security doors and window screens, all custom-made to each opening and powder-coated in a colour that matches your frames.

Security doors come with Lockwood locks: the 8654 on hinged doors and the 8653 on sliding doors, both with Lockwood's two-stage DualSelect key. 3-point locking is standard on every door, and doors ordered together can be keyed alike.

Care

Rinse with fresh water and wipe with a soft brush or cloth every few months, more often if you're close to the coast. Avoid harsh cleaners and pressure washers on the powder coat.
