Guardian® Bushfire Screens
Guardian screens are suitable for bushfire prone areas. With stainless steel mesh, Guardian screens are approved up to the extreme Bushfire Attack Level 40 (BAL 40). The Australian Standard for construction of homes in bushfire prone zones (AS 3959) simply states that openable windows must be screened with corrosion-resistant steel, bronze or aluminium mesh with an opening of less than 2 mm x 2 mm. You can rely on Prowler Proof Guardian designs – even in a bushfire.
Guardian® Corrosion
Whenever two different metals interact there’s a risk of corrosion. So the fact that Prowler Proof is welded instead of being held together by screws or rivets makes it more corrosion-resistant than other screens. Guardian is one of very few complete screens that has passed the 1,000 hour neutral salt spray test – most manufacturers only test the mesh.
Neutral salt spray test (AS 2331.3.1)
The Test
Guardian has been tested to the Australian Standard 2331 which requires the product to survive a 1,000 hour neutral salt spray test. This test is an accelerated corrosion process that takes place in an enclosed chamber. The spray is saltier than sea water and the temperature is maintained at +35ºC with almost 100% humidity.
The Result
Passed. Guardian is one of very few complete security screens that have passed the test – most manufacturers only test the mesh. Guardian’s 304 stainless steel mesh has actually survived a 3,000 hour salt spray test.
Your Benefit
Prowler Proof is the most corrosion-resistant screen on the market. Quite simply because it is welded instead of being held together by screws or rivets. Whenever two different metals interact there’s a risk of corrosion.
Guardian® Insect Protection
Guardian is not only a fall prevention screen, it is also great at keeping insects at bay. The openings in the mesh measure 1.3 mm – big enough for you to enjoy your view, small enough to keep just about all small creatures outside where they belong.
Guardian® Fall Prevention
Prowler Proof Guardian meets the requirements of The National Construction Code (NCC) which requires that screens can resist an outward horizontal action of 250 N.

We had a minor issue with a Prowlerproof scurity door in a home we purchased that was several years old and Prowlerproof arranged for their agent to rectify the problem at no cost. The communications and the follow-up were prompt and efficient which we found very refreshing in this day and age. A business I am happy to recommend.
I recently went through a warranty claim for existing Prowler Proof security doors. From the moment the job number was located, Nanette handled the matter professionally and proactively. She clarified warranty coverage, coordinated with the dealer, and ensured replacement doors were manufactured and installed properly.
What stood out was her persistence and ownership of the process — particularly when there was confusion at the dealer level. She stepped in, clarified the correct pathway, and saw the matter through to completion.
The new doors have now been installed and I’m extremely happy with the result.
It’s refreshing to deal with a company that stands behind its product and supports its customers properly. Highly recommended.
