ForceField® Energy & UV light

There are many advantages of having a ForceField® security screen. Ventilation is one of them – the 1.5 mm x 1.6 mm mesh openings let plenty of fresh air in. But did you know that the ForceField® mesh also keeps solar heat and UV light out during summer and reduces heat loss during winter? Few people would have thought that a security screen could make much difference so we decided to prove our point...

Window Energy Rating Scheme

The Test

ForceField® is one of very few Australian security screens that has been WERS tested for both residential and commercial applications.

The Result

Depending on application, ForceField® reduced solar heat gain and UV light by up to 67% (WERS rating 5 stars). Reduced heat loss was up to 28%, resulting in a 3 star WERS rating.

Your Benefit

Prowler Proof ForceField® security screens will not only help you keep cool in summer, they will also help you stay warm during winter.
