Home security is a big priority for Malaysian homeowners. So, one of the first items that any homeowner will add to their new home are the security door and window grilles.<\/p>\n

There is no shortage of security grille designs in Malaysia. Most homeowners will either choose a modern aluminium grille design with straight lines, or a more elaborate floral design made from wrought iron or powder coated mild steel.<\/p>\n

But, there is a growing group of homeowners who love the retro feel of shophouse grilles. These are also known as collapsible grilles, or retracting, or concertina grilles. In Malay, it is sometimes known as grill gunting (scissors grille).<\/p>\n

As the name suggests, shophouse grilles are common in commercial properties. They have been used even in pre-war shophouses, and are popular because they can be fully collapsed so that the entryway is as open as possible for customers.<\/p>\n

One homeowner who likes the look of shophouse grilles is Dina Sallehudin (instagram: dinashuz<\/a><\/span>). She and her husband installed a shophouse grille at the front door of their terrace home in Bangi.<\/p>\n
