LOOKING FOR TOUGH, LOW-MAINTENANCE SECURITY SCREENS AND SECURITY DOORS BUILT FOR LIFE ON THE FRASER COAST?
Prowler Proof Protec — perforated aluminium, welded corners, SL200-rated — is engineered for seaside homes, and Jack’s Glass & Security is your local authorised installer in Hervey Bay.
COASTAL LIVING
In Hervey Bay, your home doesn’t just need to look good — it needs to stand up to salt air, summer storms and year-round insect pressure, and keep your family secure while you live the indoor-outdoor lifestyle the Fraser Coast is famous for. Prowler Proof Protec security screens and doors are purpose-built for exactly that. Made from a single sheet of perforated aluminium, welded into a heavy-duty aluminium frame, and finished in a tough textured Teflon powder coat, Protec is one of the strongest security screens on the market — and one of the smartest choices for any home within reach of the ocean.
As an authorised Prowler Proof dealer servicing Hervey Bay, Pialba, Urangan, Torquay, Scarness, Point Vernon, Eli Waters, Urraween and the wider Fraser Coast, Jack’s Glass & Security installs every Protec security screen and door to Australian Standard AS 5039.2 — so the security performance you’re paying for is the security performance you actually receive.

10 Year Replacement Warranty
All-Aluminium Construction
Single-Sheet Perforated Mesh
Textured Teflon Mesh Finish
Heavy-Duty Aluminium Frame
300 Colours
135° Viewing Angle
Lockwood Locks
A higher Standard
Did you know there are Australian Standards for both the way security screens are manufactured and the way they’re installed? Even a well-made security screen can be rendered ineffective if it isn’t fitted correctly to standard.
Dynamic Impact Test
Jemmy Test
Knife Shear Test
Probe Test
Pull Test
Corrosion Test
Every Protec security screen and door installed in Hervey Bay by Jack’s Glass & Security is fitted in line with AS 5039.2 – the Australian Standard for installation.
10 Year Replacement Warranty
Protec is backed by Prowler Proof’s 10 Year Full Replacement Warranty on both frame and mesh — one of the strongest warranties in the security screen industry. If a product fails due to materials or workmanship within those ten years, the screen is fully replaced, not just repaired.
For Hervey Bay homeowners, that promise matters. A security screen or security door exposed to coastal salt air and subtropical conditions year after year deserves more than a token guarantee. Protec is built to last in this climate, and the warranty is your assurance of that. To ensure your warranty is maintained, you’ll need to clean your screens in line with the care and maintenance requirements — and Protec’s textured Teflon powder coat makes that easy.
Jack’s Glass & Security backs every installation with our own workmanship guarantee on top of the Prowler Proof warranty — and we’re local, so if you ever need us, we’re a short drive away.

PERFORMANCE
Protec is one of the strongest security screens on the market — built from a single sheet of 1.7 mm perforated aluminium, welded into a heavy-duty aluminium frame. The perforations are exactly the right size: small enough to keep mozzies and flies out, big enough to let fresh air and daylight in. Nothing else gets past.
For Hervey Bay homeowners, Protec security screens and security doors deliver in every performance category that matters in a coastal, subtropical climate:
Security
Rated to Security Level 200 (SL200) under AS 5039 — the highest classification available. Five impacts of 200 joules each, with the screen still in its frame.
Fire safety
Engineered to support fire safety requirements in bushfire and ember attack zones — useful for homes on Hervey Bay’s bushland fringes.
Energy & UV Light
Independently rated for solar heat reduction and UV protection — real value through Hervey Bay’s long, sunny summers.
Corrosion
All-aluminium construction — perforated aluminium mesh, aluminium frame, and a textured Teflon powder coat across the lot. Because Protec uses a single metal throughout, there is no dissimilar-metals reaction to worry about, which is why Prowler Proof positions Protec as a great option for seaside homes. In Hervey Bay’s salt-air climate, that single design choice is a real long-term advantage.
Insect protection
A 2.0 mm aperture in the perforated aluminium sheet excludes mozzies and flies, with 40% open area and a 135-degree viewing angle for excellent airflow and outlook — so you can keep doors and windows open through the warmer months without the bites.
Access Control
Three-point Lockwood locking with Kinetic Defence keying technology — substantially greater resistance to jemmy attacks than a standard single-point lock.
Fall Prevention
Certified as a compliant fall prevention barrier under the National Construction Code when installed as a window screen — ideal for upper-storey windows where you want full ventilation without restrictors.

Servicing Hervey Bay & the Fraser Coast
Jack’s Glass & Security supplies and installs Prowler Proof Protec security screens and security doors right across Hervey Bay and the Fraser Coast — including Pialba, Scarness, Torquay, Urangan, Point Vernon, Eli Waters, Urraween, Kawungan, Wondunna, Dundowran Beach, River Heads, Booral, Nikenbah, Susan River and Burrum Heads, as well as Maryborough and Howard. Every job begins with a free in-home measure and quote, so we can recommend the right Protec configuration for your home and lock in an installation date that suits you.
Frequently asked questions about security screens in Hervey Bay
Yes — Protec is purpose-built for seaside homes. The mesh is a single sheet of 1.7 mm perforated aluminium, welded into a heavy-duty aluminium frame and finished in a tough textured Teflon powder coat. Because Protec is all-aluminium, there is no dissimilar-metals reaction between the mesh and the frame — the most common cause of long-term coastal screen corrosion. That’s why Prowler Proof recommends Protec as a great option for homes close to the ocean.
Both Protec and ForceField are made by Prowler Proof, both are rated to Security Level 200 (SL200) under AS 5039, and both carry the 10 Year Full Replacement Warranty. The difference is the mesh. ForceField uses a woven 316 marine-grade stainless steel mesh for maximum transparency and a near-invisible look. Protec uses a single sheet of perforated aluminium for an all-aluminium build that is especially well-suited to seaside and coastal homes, tough wear, and easy cleaning. Your Jack’s Glass & Security consultant can help you choose between them based on your home, your view and your distance from the ocean.
Yes. Prowler Proof Protec is tested to Australian Standard AS 5039 and rated SL200 — the highest security classification available. Every installation by Jack’s Glass & Security is completed to AS 5039.2.
Pricing depends on the size of the opening, the application (door, window, sliding, hinge or fixed), the colour you choose and any optional upgrades such as pet doors or port holes. Jack’s Glass & Security provides a free in-home measure and quote in Hervey Bay so you receive an accurate price for your exact home rather than a generic estimate.
Yes. When installed as a window screen, Protec is certified as a compliant fall prevention barrier under the National Construction Code. That means restrictors fitted to upper-storey windows can be removed, allowing the window to open to its full capacity while Protec provides both security and fall prevention.
Considerably. A “barrier” or “safety” door has not been tested or certified to AS 5039 and carries no compliance label. Protec is rated SL200 — the highest security classification available — and is verified by independent testing. If a product doesn’t carry the compliance label, it isn’t officially a security screen, regardless of what it’s called.
