Guardian fall prevention window screens installed on a home

Guardian Fall Prevention Window Screens

Purpose-designed fall prevention window screens that allow airflow, visibility and everyday window use without relying on restrictive window opening limits.

Guardian is ideal for homes with windows more than two metres above ground level, including second-storey windows, raised homes and properties built into sloping sites. Rather than limiting how far your window can open to adhere to National Construction Code regulations, Guardian window screens are designed to support fall prevention requirements while still allowing fresh air, natural light and clear outward views.

Like all of Prowler Proof’s products it can be manufactured and installed on your house in as little as 1-2 weeks from order date, no waiting around.

Fall prevention without closing in your home

Guardian is best suited to homeowners who need added safety for windows above ground level, while still wanting their windows to look open, light and easy to live with.

Because Guardian allows windows to operate without relying on restrictive opening limits, it can help maintain airflow, visibility and everyday comfort while supporting a safer home environment.

See how Guardian window screens work

This short video explains how Guardian fall prevention screens help improve window safety while still allowing fresh air, natural light and everyday window use.

Strength begins at the corners

One of Prowler Proof’s strongest points of difference is the way the frame is built. Guardian frames are welded before powder coating, helping create a cleaner finish and a stronger, more durable window screen.

Toughened Welded Corners

Unlike conventional mitred frames secured with screws or rivets, Prowler Proof frames are welded into a seamless structure before powder coating. The result is a stronger, cleaner-looking frame designed for lasting performance.

  • Welded rather than assembled with screws or rivets.
  • Joined into one continuous frame structure.
  • Powder coated after welding for a seamless finish.
  • Fewer potential weak points and corrosion risks.
  • Cleaner, slimmer-looking frame appearance.

Premium construction and materials

Guardian’s performance comes from its 304 architectural-grade stainless steel mesh, fully welded aluminium frame, clear outward visibility and Australian factory-controlled manufacturing.

304 Stainless Steel Mesh

Guardian uses 304 architectural-grade stainless steel mesh for strength, durability, airflow and clear views.

High-Tensile Wire

The stainless steel mesh uses high-tensile wire with a 0.6 mm diameter and 1.3 mm aperture.

44.8% Open Area

The mesh is designed to allow natural light and fresh air through while maintaining a clean, minimal appearance.

Matched Appearance

Guardian has been designed to visually complement ForceField security windows and doors for a consistent finish across the home.

Custom-made for a wide range of window styles

Guardian is backed by Prowler Proof’s 10 year replacement warranty, giving you the confidence of a brand new product instead of a repair if there is a defect in workmanship or materials.

Each Prowler Proof product is traceable by serial number from the moment it leaves the factory, making warranty support simple and straightforward.
