Smart security with strength, airflow and added privacy

Protec is best suited to homeowners who want strong window security with a more private appearance than fine mesh. The perforated aluminium sheet allows airflow, daylight and outward visibility, while also creating a more screened feel from outside.

With toughened welded corners, a durable powder coated finish and Australian factory-controlled manufacturing, Protec is designed for homes where security, durability and everyday practicality all matter.

Strength begins at the corners

One of Prowler Proof’s strongest points of difference is the way the frame is built. Protec frames are welded before powder coating, helping create a cleaner finish and a stronger, more durable security screen.

Toughened Welded Corners

Unlike conventional mitred frames secured with screws or rivets, Prowler Proof frames are welded into a seamless structure before powder coating. The result is a stronger, cleaner-looking frame designed for lasting performance.

  • Welded rather than assembled with screws or rivets.
  • Joined into one continuous frame structure.
  • Powder coated after welding for a seamless finish.
  • Fewer potential weak points and corrosion risks.
  • Cleaner, slimmer-looking frame appearance.

Premium construction and materials

Protec’s strength and durability come from its all-aluminium construction, perforated mesh design, welded frame structure and high-quality powder coated finish.

Choose Protec when security, privacy and airflow all matter

Protec may be the right choice if you want strong security windows with a more private appearance than fine mesh, while still allowing light and airflow through the home.

  • You want a strong perforated aluminium security screen.
  • You prefer a little more privacy from the street.
  • You want airflow and insect protection without a fully open mesh look.
  • You want matching window, hinged door or sliding door screen options.
  • You value welded corners, powder coating and Prowler Proof manufacturing.

If maximum visibility is the priority, ForceField may be the better fit. If decorative styling or a different budget level is more important, Guardian or Diamond screens may also be worth considering.
