What are the benefits to pet owners with security screens?
Here at Prowler Proof, we love our pets, and we know you do too. Pet owners can reap a number of benefits from security screens.
Increased Safety and Protection
Strong barriers like security screens keep dogs or cats from escaping, or entering through open doors or windows. They also give pet owners peace of mind by preventing unwanted intruders, including other animals, from entering their home, keeping both themselves and their indoor pets safe. Ensuring that cat or dog remains safely indoors while discouraging possible intruders is one of the main advantages of security screens for pet owners.
Durability
Pet wear and tear, gnawing, and scratches are not a problem for security screens because they are made of durable materials like perforated aluminum or stainless steel mesh. This means you won’t need to replace or fix softer, less resilient insect screen gauzes which are more likely to be damaged by teeth or claws from pets.
Ventilation and Fresh Air
Security screens allow for increased airflow even when you’re not home. Security screens safely let in the breeze, while keeping dogs and cats inside. This is especially helpful in the warmer months when you want to maintain ventilation in your home without having to worry about insects or unwanted intruders getting inside. The ability to enjoy a breeze, without sacrificing pet or home security is another one of the advantages of security screens for pet owners.
Visibility and Interaction
Pets, particularly dogs and cats, enjoy looking outside and taking in their environment. They may securely view outside with security screens, satisfying their natural curiosity and keeping them active. Dogs and cats who engage with the outside world can have reduced anxiety and boredom.
Prevention of Accidental Falls
Security screens can stop pets from unintentionally falling from windows in multi-storey homes. This is especially important for cat owners. Cats are frequently very inquisitive, and may fall out of windows because they perch on or climb up onto window sills. Installing security screens offers a crucial safety net, proving the value of security screens for pet owners in protecting their animals from potentially hazardous situations.
Please note – the addition of a pet door into a window screen or screen door means the screen is no longer compliant to Australian Standard 5039 for security doors.
