Frequently asked questions

What is the difference between insect screens and security screens?

An insect screen keeps bugs out but offers no protection against intruders. A genuine security screen uses tested mesh, a welded frame and a security-rated fixing system to resist forced entry. We separate the two at the measure so each window gets the right product rather than paying for security you do not need.

Should I choose 316 or 304 stainless steel mesh?

Both are stainless, but 316 marine grade contains added molybdenum that resists salt-driven corrosion far better than 304. For Shire homes near Cronulla, Burraneer or the Georges River we recommend 316; on drier inland streets 304 can be a sound, lower-cost option. Steve advises based on your exact street and exposure.

Can security screens help prevent falls from upper-storey windows?

Yes. Prowler Proof Guardian is a fall-prevention window screen designed to hold against pressure from children leaning on the glass while still allowing airflow. It is a common choice for upper-storey bedrooms in two-storey Shire homes where ventilation and child safety both matter.

Do security screens still let air and light through?

They do. The fine stainless mesh is designed to keep airflow and outward visibility while screening the opening, so you can leave windows open safely on hot Shire nights. The mesh also reduces glare and adds daytime privacy without closing the room down.

Can I leave windows open with security screens fitted?

Yes — that is the point of them. A security screen lets you ventilate bedrooms and living rooms with the window open while keeping the opening protected against forced entry and insects, which is especially useful through summer.

Are your window security screens covered by warranty?

Yes. The Prowler Proof window screens we install carry the same 10-year full-replacement warranty as our doors, covering the welded frame, mesh, hardware and powder-coat finish, plus our own workmanship guarantee on the installation.
