Security Screens Enjoy Island Life On Moreton Island

SECURITY SCREENS ENJOY ISLAND LIFE ON MORETON ISLAND

When looking at security screens for their beautiful, island holiday home, the homeowners didn’t want to spend their weekends and holidays cleaning security screens, but still wanted to increase security while the home was unattended.

The home was also built before the fall prevention changes to the National Construction Code, so had some unprotected windows at height, that the homeowner wanted to ensure were brought up to the Code, so anyone visiting the home would be safe from falls.

Prowler Proof Protec was chosen for this home. Protec has been tested to AS 5039 for security. Not only is Protec suitable for stopping intruders, but the perforated aluminium mesh paired with the aluminium frame, and secured with Prowler Proof’s unique bonded fixing method, is ideal for coastal applications, as you don’t have the issue of dissimilar metals reacting and potentially causing electrolysis over time.

The selection of Prowler Proof Protec Hinge Window security screens means regular cleaning, as is required for coastal homes, is easy as the homeowner can open the screens, and clean both the glass and screens as required.

The homeowner also used Prowler Proof’s lockable handle option on the hinge windows installed at height, ensuring the screens reach ‘child resistant’ level for fall prevention. Because Prowler Proof Protec has passed AS 5039, it is deemed to comply with the National Construction Code for fall prevention when fitted with lockable handles.

These handles also come with the unique Night-Glow® key to ensure the homeowner can find the key at night with ease, should they need to escape the home in an emergency.

Protec is premium level security, but still provides insect protection, ventilation, visibility, and bushfire protection, ensuring the homeowner can enjoy the sea breeze, and keep their view of the bay.
