Here at Miza Home Security we’ve been supply Brisbane homes with the Prowler Proof range of security and non-security screens for over 20 years, and there’s lots of reasons why we choose this brand over the rest.
Why Prowler Proof Security Screens Outperform the Competition
When it comes to protecting your home, not all security screens are created equal. Many brands promise strength and durability — but Prowler Proof delivers on those promises in ways that truly stand out. In this article, we’ll compare Prowler Proof with other brands on the market and explain why Prowler Proof is the superior option for homeowners.
What Makes Prowler Proof Different
Fully Welded Construction
- Prowler Proof is Australia’s only fully welded security screen manufacturer. Unlike many screens held together by corner stakes and screws or rivets, welding the corners creates a seamless join, making the frame not only stronger but also visually cleaner. This welding strength reduces “weak points” that intruders might exploit.
Robust Design and Manufacturing
- Because of the way they’re made, Prowler Proof screens often don’t need a mid-rail, where other brands do, which contributes to their sleek, elegant design.
- Prowler Proof operates a state-of-the-art, fully automated factory with robotic welders.
- The automation ensures consistency and precision — every screen is made to exacting tolerances.
- Prowler Proof security sliding doors comes with Performance Plus P+ strikes, for added security.
High-Grade Materials
- Prowler Proof only partners with quality component suppliers, like Meshtec for their mesh and ASSA Abloy for their locks. By always choosing quality components and accessories, you know your screen will be high quality and long lasting.
Corrosion Resistance
- Prowler Proof’s ForceField® line uses 316 marine-grade stainless steel mesh, which is more corrosion resistant than the 304-grade mesh used by some other brands.
- The mesh and frame are joined via a chemical + mechanical bond, insulating the stainless steel from the aluminium frame and reducing galvanic corrosion risk.
Rigorous Strength & Independent Testing
- Prowler Proof’s security screens have all passed Australian Standard AS 5039.1.
- ForceField has passed cyclone testing under the Australian Standard AS/NZS 1170.
- ForceField also passed US hurricane pressure-cycle testing, withstanding repeated pressure cycles without failure.
- ForceField and Protec offer energy efficiency benefits: tested under WERS, they reduce solar heat gain and UV ingress, while also helping retain warmth in winter.
- ForceField is tested for mosquito / insect protection: in a test with dengue-mosquitoes, only 2 out of 600 managed to pass after 72 hours.
Warranty & After-Sales Support
- Prowler Proof offers a 10-year full replacement warranty – not a “repair only” warranty.
- All of their products are National Security Screen Association audited to comply with Australian Standards, giving you peace of mind.
Aesthetic & Design Choices
- Prowler Proof provides over 300 powder-coat colours, thanks to their partnership with Dulux and AkzoNobel.
- Their Hidden Installation Technology (H.I.T.) means no visible fasteners — giving a clean, integrated look.
- Their product range is broad: ForceField, Protec (perforated aluminium), Diamond, Heritage, Guardian fall-prevention, hinge windows, Insect, etc so you can get everything you need under the one brand.
If you’re looking to maximise both security and longevity for your home — especially in climates like Brisbane’s — Prowler Proof stands out as a superior security screen brand. From its fully welded frames, marine-grade stainless steel mesh, automated high-precision production, and industry-leading warranty, Prowler Proof delivers strength, style, and reliability that many other brands simply can’t match.
