Reasons to Install an Invisible Grille in your Home.

By Chee Loontuan Richard


Urban areas and residential buildings have the great challenge of keeping tall buildings safe for its residents. Year after year many incidents occur wherein children fall over unprotected balconies. Worse still is that robbers and thieves can easily climb onto balconies and break in. To prevent this from happening many have opted to put standard grilles or Invisible Grille.

Traditional window grilles are nothing more that tubings made out of solid metal, mostly iron or steel, or aluminum embedded into the window sash. The visual effect however is one wherein it basically looks like prison bars. In fact, prisons do use the same technique. Putting this kind of grille into our home or office will make it look like a prison cell, from inside and out.

Aesthetics and beauty is definitely affected, not only from the architect or designer point of view but from the occupant point of view as well. This is especially true of building designs in Hong Kong and Singapore where the high rise tenement and residential buildings look more like huge prison blocs due to the existence of many railings. Safety should not always mean you have to sacrifice beauty.

This option comes with the invention of Invisible Grille. It provides both an aesthetic and practical safety element based on very simple concepts and design. On top of this its ease of use and installation makes it a practical and attractive choice.

Basically nothing more than window frames modularized for a better fit, these frames are equipped with high tension steel cables mounted in a vertical fashion. These cables are basically ultra thin so that at a distance they seem not to exist. They are spaced just far enough from each other to prevent entry and exit but also as to give an effect of not being there, a sort of optical illusion.

Due to this invisible effect that the frame gives, one can have a better and more scenic view of the outside. This will also have the effect of making the room space much bigger than it actually is. Viewed from the outside it gives a much clearer and cleaner view of the residential or commercial space, and will also add greatly to its value. On top of this, it provides good ventilation also.

On the plus side, these grilles are fairly strong too. The anti rust is purported to last for twenty years and each cable has been tested to be able to hold up to over 160 kilos so there is no problem of small children being able to break them, or even the average person. Though thin, the cables cannot be easily cut by scissors or any ordinary cutting device.

An option that can come with the Invisible Grille is that it can be connected directly to your home alarm security system. Any breach from outside of the grilles will trigger the alarm. On top of this feature, the grille can easily be moved or dismantled if you change residence. Many suppliers are not out there and they usually charge a per square foot fee. Others can give you a per package price. Whatever you choose you cannot go wrong with this novel concept.
