Has anyone used any Panther Protect mesh screens as a substitute for grilles?

Any feedback?

I have their product. My main criteria is for air flow, insect screen and lastly security. Only problem encountered is it blocks a fair amount of light into the living room.

Thanks for the feedback.

Does it significantly disrupt the airflow?

Considering doing a whole house with this but a bit concerned on the airflow.

You need to check the price.
IIRC, the MOQ is RM3000.

Well I believe it depends a lot on where your house is located. As my house is fronting the ocean constant offshore wind is available. Another major advantage for me is their T6 aluminium (premium grade) is guaranteed rust proof for IIRC 12 years. compare that with having to paint metal grille every year or worst very IMO tacky all SS grille.

For land locked house if there are hilly terrain nearby with good windy breeze then the mesh will allow for in/out airflow without much obstruction.

For stationary air (when there is no wind), it does not help much, but you can always install ceiling fans to disperse warm air inside your house.

It is especially useful at night when you can open your door when sleeping as the mesh will prevent insect from coming into your house and it is relatively secure from minor intrusion.

I've used 3Kim the second time. They are slightly more expensive. But, like my first experience, they are non nonsense, and they do a damn good job. The item is well made, installation is professional.

My interior designer and her contractors were also impressed by the workmanship.

I opted for thicker gauge steel than the usual, 1.2mm instead of the usual 1.0mm. And they have experience with taking note of the alarm sensors and wiring.

Yup the workmanship is important. Cheap grilles cut corners and have major flaws in core components e.g hinges, weld joinery quality, padlock ears, material thickness, even common parts - how well the (floor- and ceiling- position locking bars and the opposite matching hole for the grille lock) are made, determines the strength of a grille - whether its a strong one that requires ten minutes to saw through, or something that can be easily defeated in seconds with a hydraulic jack/hammer/crowbar.

Of course all those are qualitative components which can't readily be measured with $ and cents. I am very pleased with my 3kim grille as compared to the cheap one my neighbours took.

Anyone use powder coated sand surface for their grille? Is that reliable? Or it's better to get those two tone power coat (not sand surface) ?

Anyone with white powder coated grille that the color has turn yellowish?
