Why Choose Paw Proof Insect Mesh
Durable Pet-Resistant Mesh
Paw Proof Insect Mesh is built to hold up against damage from cats and dogs, making it the best choice from Starline Security for homeowners who care deeply about the enduring quality of their flyscreens. Made from thick polyester strands 0.64mm in diameter, this mesh has an answer to any claws, teeth, or furry heads that are up to no good. Furthermore, the strength of Paw Proof Insect Mesh makes it suitable to withstand heavy rainstorms and other harsh weather conditions. Investing in this flyscreen is ensuring years of protection from pesky insects and bugs, while allowing for pets to live harmoniously in your home without fear of ruined mesh.
Achieve happiness for all living things in your home with Paw Proof Insect Mesh.
Privacy in Your Home
Another benefit of Paw Proof Insect Mesh’s thick polyester strands is that it provides a solid visual wall restricting unwanted eyes from looking in your home. While this does restrict some of the view outside as well, for homeowners who value privacy, this feature will come as a welcome addition.
So, if you live in a high traffic area, but want to keep your doors and windows open to allow for fresh airflow through the house, Paw Proof Insect Mesh makes for a solid balance between privacy and ventilation.

Product Applications
Paw Proof Insect Mesh can be placed on fixed frames for a variety of doors and windows – such as hinged and sliding doors. However, we don’t recommend you install this mesh on magnetic frames, as the fibreglass build makes it lacking in flexibility. Our professional team of manufacturers will be able to create a viable product to suit your needs.
Paw Proof Insect Mesh can also be paired with diamond grille security screens to offer greater security for your home.
Testing and Warranties
Paw Proof Insect Mesh has been through rigorous testing to ensure it meets or exceeds Australian Standards regarding security screens and window grills. This is to guarantee the wellbeing of your family and pets with all products from Starline Security.
We offer a 7-year warranty on our Paw Proof Insect Mesh, so you can have the peace of mind knowing your purchase will be protected for years after installation.
Options & Accessories
Paw Proof Insect Mesh is black and the fixed frame it comes in can be powder coated by Starline Security in over 300 available colours. So, no matter what colour scheme you have in your house, we can customise your order to fit right in.
Furthermore, given this mesh is ideal for pet-owners, why not order it with a Petway pet door or cat flap included? These are great for allowing your pet access in and out of your home, which will not only help keep insects out from not having to open the door as much but will also give your cat or dog even less reason to play with the insect mesh.
Product Specifications
Paw Proof Insect Mesh is made from fibreglass coated in vinyl, providing the mesh with its durable quality.
Please note that Paw Proof Insect Mesh is not BAL compliant, meaning we do not recommend its installation in areas prone to bushfires. Instead, we recommend Starline Security’s Aluminium Insect Mesh or Stainless Insect Mesh if you live in one of these locations.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is it truly “pet proof” or can determined pets still damage it?
It’s important to be realistic here and no mesh on the market is completely indestructible. A very large dog repeatedly charging at a screen, or a cat intentionally trying to chew through anything in sight can eventually cause damage to almost any material. Although this mesh is specifically designed to resist the everyday behaviour of pets including:
- Clawing when stretching
- Pawing when excited
- Leaning or pushing against doors
- Jumping up to look outside
For the vast majority of households, it performs exceptionally well and significantly reduces repairs. And many pet owners find that once installed, screen damage becomes a non-issue.
Will the thicker mesh restrict airflow or make the house feel stuffy?
This is a common concern. Because the mesh is heavier than standard insect mesh, some people assume airflow will be restricted. In reality, it still allows excellent ventilation. The design strikes a balance whereby the openings are small enough to block insects and provide durability, but open enough to allow natural cross breezes to move through your home. So if you enjoy keeping doors and windows open during warmer months, you’ll still benefit from airflow without worrying about pets damaging the screen in the process.
Can this mesh be used on both doors and windows?
Yes, it is suitable for a wide range of applications including:
- Sliding doors
- Hinged doors
- Window frames
- Fixed screen panels
Because it is a stronger and slightly more rigid material, it works best in properly secured frames. It isn’t suitable for flexible magnetic systems, as the mesh itself doesn’t have the flexibility those systems require. If you’re unsure whether your existing frames are compatible, a professional assessment ensures the right setup for long-term performance.
Is this mesh suitable for families with children as well as pets?
Absolutely. Children often push, lean or accidentally bump into screens, especially on sliding doors. Standard mesh can easily pop out or tear under this kind of pressure. Because Paw Proof mesh is reinforced and holds tension well, it offers additional durability for busy households. It’s a practical choice for families who want screens that can cope with everyday life, not just sit there looking good.
Can it be combined with a pet door?
Yes, and for many pet owners, this is highly recommended. Installing a pet door reduces the amount of pushing and scratching on the mesh because your pet no longer needs to signal constantly at the door to be let in or out.
This not only protects the screen further but also adds convenience for your household. It’s a smart pairing that enhances both durability and functionality.
Is Paw Proof mesh a security screen?
It’s important to clarify that Paw Proof mesh is designed for durability and insect protection and not as a standalone security barrier. If home security is a priority, it can be paired with a properly our Secureview security screen system or Diamond grille frame. This allows you to combine pet resistance, insect control, and enhanced physical security in one integrated setup.
Who is this product best suited for?
This product is especially useful for homes where pets regularly gather around doors or windows while waiting to go outside. If you’ve got cats that like to climb screens or dogs that jump up at doors, this mesh can make a big difference. It’s also a great option for rental properties that allow pets, busy family homes where doors are used constantly and for homeowners who are simply tired of replacing damaged flyscreens again and again.
