When it comes to home security, the first thing that many homeowners invest in is a window grill to keep the home safeguarded from intruders.<\/p>\n

After installing window grilles, homeowners may also install door grilles for the front door.<\/p>\n

Because the demand for security grilles is very high in Malaysia, there are various materials and designs available.<\/p>\n

For example, door grilles may need to be lighter to make it easier to open and close. While window grilles may need to be stronger to prevent cutting tools. So where do you start?<\/p>\n

Here are some basic considerations when installing a security grille in your home.<\/p>\n

1. What is the best material for window grille?<\/h2>\n

For landed properties, security grilles help prevent break-ins and burglaries.\u00a0Homeowners will typically install steel security grilles at every ground-level door entrance and window opening.\u00a0If your home has a roof opening, air well or skylight, you can consider installing a grille there too.<\/p>\n

The window grille serves a different purpose in high-rise buildings. Besides protecting from intruders, it is also used to keep the kids safe and sound.<\/p>\n

When choosing a window grille, make sure it has a panel that can be opened so\u00a0you can get out in case of emergency.<\/p>\n

Modern security grille door are made from stainless steel, mild steel, wrought iron, or aluminium.\u00a0The table below shows some relative comparisons (click for full image):<\/p>\n

2. How to choose window grille design?<\/h2>\n

For range of grille door and window grille designs, nothing can compare to wrought iron grilles.<\/p>\n

Wrought iron (also known as ‘worked iron’) is when the metal is hammered into shape. This allows it to form intricate designs, such as floral patterns.<\/p>\n

However, having complex window grille designs may also compromise on security. Since the metal is stretched thinner as it is shaped, it may be weaker than traditional bars or grid shapes.<\/p>\n

In addition, complex designs may also create gaps that are easier for a person or children to slip through.<\/p>\n

But, you don’t have to limit yourself to the same design or material for every window and door. For instance, you can\u00a0have a wrought iron grille with a nice pattern for the front door or sliding door.<\/p>\n

Then, you can install a diamond-patterned window grille in mild steel for the children’s rooms, since that is harder to climb (and has no pointy ends).<\/p>\n

3. Do you need emergency access for window grille?<\/h2>\n

Another point to consider when choosing a\u00a0security grille is whether you can get out in case of emergency.<\/p>\n

Modern window grille design can be built with “escape” features such as a panel that can be unlocked and opened.<\/p>\n

4. What is the best colour and finishing?<\/h2>\n

To prevent mild steel and wrought iron grilles from corroding, the manufacturer will add a protective layer over it.<\/p>\n

This can be in the form of powder coating, or hand-painted.<\/p>\n

Powder coating is when the grilles are sprayed and “baked” to form a fine layer of paint. This is most commonly done for grilles that are a single colour, such as black, silver, brown or white.<\/p>\n

Powder coating is highly resistant to Malaysian outdoor weather, and is cheaper than hand painting.<\/p>\n

However, if you have a special design in mind, then the manufacturer will need to paint the grille by hand, either in the factory or on site.<\/p>\n

And, paint will need to be touched up every 2 to 3 years to prevent corrosion.<\/p>\n

Both types of finishing are needed to increase the durability and resistance of the grille against weather conditions and will make it look good for a long time.<\/p>\n
