Insect Screen Corrosion
There are two reasons why Prowler Proof is the most corrosion-resistant insect screen on the market. The fact that it’s welded instead of being held together by screws or rivets means that there are no untreated or raw edges to increase the risk of corrosion. And as the only insect screen manufactured in a fully automated factory, Prowler Proof is powder coated AFTER the assembly. This eliminates the risk of damage to the paint during assembly. Prowler Proof is the only brand that has passed the Australian Standards acetic salt spray test.
Acetic acid salt spray test (AS 2331.3.2)
The Test
The 1,000 hour acetic acid salt spray test is pure torture. Acetic acid salt spray is not only saltier than sea water, it’s also 10,000 times more acidic. The test takes place in an enclosed chamber at a temperature of +35ºC with almost 100% humidity.
The Result
Passed. Prowler Proof is the only brand on the Australian market to pass the acetic acid salt spray test.
Your Benefit
If you live in a coastal area or near industrial areas, corrosion is your insect screen’s worst enemy. Prowler Proof is your safe choice. No other brand has passed the 1,000 hour acetic acid salt spray test. No other brand is covered by a 10 year replacement warranty.
Neutral salt spray test (AS 2331.3.1)
The Test
All Prowler Proof products have 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 +35º C with almost 100% humidity.
The Result
Passed. Even though the test went beyond 1,000 hours – 1,069 hours to be exact – there was no visible corrosion on the Prowler Proof product.
Your Benefit
Thanks to the way they are built, Prowler Proof insect screens are the most corrosion-resistant on the market. Even with very little maintenance they will remain corrosion-free. Cleaning every six months – every three months in coastal or industrial regions – is all it takes. Insect screens that are held together by screws or rivets can require cleaning as often as every 2-4 weeks in coastal regions.

Insect Screen Insect Protection
Prowler Proof insect screens come with a high quality fibreglass gauze as standard. But you can take it even further. Aluminium or stainless steel insect screens offer extra strength as well as protection from bushfire. With 18×30 strands per inch, a micro fibreglass insect screen will keep out even the smallest insects. And our pet safe polyester mesh is an economical solution if your pet likes to test the strength of the mesh with its claws. With Prowler Proof you can choose your own level of protection.
Insect Screen Access Control
Prowler Proof Insect screens allow unassisted access for pets or people, through the addition of optional access control accessories, such as keying locks alike, pet doors for family pets and solid panels for easier wheelchair accessibility.

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.
