Screen Products That Help Reduce Fire Risk At Your Windows and Doors
Wildland-Urban Interface zones (also known as WUIs), the areas where homes meet fire-prone land, are expanding across the country, and most homeowners haven’t caught up to what that means for their own risk.
Titan is proud to offer a variety of Fire Protection screen products for your home’s windows and doors, engineered to help add protection during a wildfire or exterior fire event. Built on Genuine MESHTEC™ Mesh, each of our Ultimate window and door products are designed to help reduce ember intrusion and attenuate radiant heat, giving your home more protection when it matters most.
How Fires Spread Through Doors and Windows
Two primary risks exist at doors and windows during a fire event: ember intrusion and convective/radiant heat. Intense heat can cause conventional frame
materials and glass to fail, removing the barrier entirely. Embers that pass through a window opening can land on curtains, carpeting, or furniture and ignite a fire inside the home. Our products are designed to address both ember resistance and heat attenuation.
Titan security screens are constructed with Genuine MESHTEC™ Mesh, a tightly woven stainless steel and aluminum system designed to help reduce wildfire risk at the opening.
- Materials That Hold Up Under Heat: The materials used in our screens are designed to withstand intense heat and provide protection over window and door openings.
- Mesh Geometry That Limits Ember Passage: Genuine MESHTEC™ Mesh limits the passage of burning embers through the screen that cause ignition to materials on the interior of a home.
- Heat Attenuation At The Screen Level: Genuine MESHTEC™ Mesh used in screens deflects, disperses, and reduces radiant heat transfer, increasing
protection from the spread of fire.
Tested and Recognized for Wildfire Protection
Titan screens have been evaluated across ember resistance, radiant heat attenuation, and flame exposure resilience.
- In independent testing, our screens were shown to reduce the transmission of burning embers, preventing ignition to adjacent materials, consistent with requirements in ASTM E2886. This testing also confirmed that our Security Window Screens reduced radiant heat transfer by more than 40%.
- Products using Genuine MESHTEC™ Mesh have been tested against some of the most stringent wildfire building standards in the world, including Australia’s AS 3959 (“Construction of Buildings in Brushfire-Prone Areas”), AS 1530.4, and 1530.8.
- MESHTEC™ Mesh uses materials, such as stainless steel and aluminum, that are consistent with the types of noncombustible, corrosion-resistant materials referenced in California’s Chapter 7A for related building components.
Available Across Your Windows and Doors
Fire risk reduction is an important part of what Titan screens are built for. The same MESHTEC™ construction that helps address wildfire risk also delivers forced-entry security, fall protection for windows, ventilation, and UV reduction, all in the same product. Whatever your home needs, titan has the solution.

Ultimate Window Security Screens
Note: These products are designed to help reduce certain wildfire risks at windows and doors, but they do not guarantee protection of any structure, property, or persons. Test results reflect performance under specific laboratory conditions. Actual performance in a wildfire depends on many variables, including but not limited to: fire intensity, duration, and type of exposure (embers, radiant heat, or direct flame); wind speed and direction; home construction, window type, and installation method; and local environmental conditions. These products are one component of a comprehensive wildfire preparedness strategy and should not be relied upon as a sole means of fire protection. Always follow local building codes and the guidance of fire safety professionals.
