Hi, just wondering, nowadays there’s mesh looks grille like Panther Optima. Any reason no one go for that?

Hi
Please share your findings. I’m interested.
I’m in dilemma as my new house comes with folding door already. To change to the mesh I need to discard the current folding doors which is quite a waste.  So I’m doing a deep consideration

I just went to compare arxtech and panther. One thing i noticed is the amount of airflow restriction these mesh gives out. It darkens the house significantly and although both looks very solid and safe, but i feel it makes the house dark and reduces airflow (chi). Decided to give it a miss and use only the Optima windows, door etc. Will be giving 3kim a call this week

Oh, i forgot one important point.. These security mesh is very difficult to wash/clean and it gets dirty really fast..

Yeap, with vacuum cleaner or u can clean wif spraying water but that wud be a mess.....
n able to prevent mosquitoes...... 
grill wise juz thinking of wiping it even once a month will be headache..... ( no maid.... )

just my 2 cents....

I was under the impression I will get airflow with mesh until you said otherwise.

Me too... I think easily 90% reduction in airflow

  actually none.... but in the middle of surveying for mesh..... for house renovation....

so far narrowed down to arxtech and panther..... went to panther booth during fair tat day.... now waiting to arrange another time to go visit arxtech place...



am impressed by panther's mesh for their mesh locking system..... but for the casement window they seem to have lesser choice.....

but anyway, will check out arxtech, then onli compare....

Er..... i'm looking for the type tat 1 frame holds both casement window n mesh.....

at 1st, get to noe there is such window from arxtech (as they oso hav optima which do windows, door n etc....) so will look nice n less messy if window n mesh can use the same frame....

I did confirmed with panther.... they also do such window.... but the glass they hav is only 2 layer laminated glass..... if nid other type of glass, they hav to order or we can source ourselves.....

Optima n arxtech provide more selection of glasses.... in terms of sound proofing.... n oso their window has more colour choices and even wood grain design... while panther onli 4 colour.....which is matt black brown grey n glossy white   

From MeToo's review on 1.2mm too thick.... n darker indoor..... make me swing again.... ... oledi saw 1.0mm panther at the fair.... did see n feel the thickness of premium mesh.... airflow wise.... cant tell at fair.... imagine 1.2mm means thicker.....hmmmmm....

So, will visit optima arxtech later and oso german window.... n c if wanna do both in 1 frame wif 1 provider or pick 2 diff provider but doing 2 frames.... 1 window 1 mesh..... but actually only 1 window nid combo, others just nid to add on mesh....

   

yea.... so far only saw panther in person..... arxtech onli can check online which is kinda limited for the info..... but so far.... both design is similar..... juz tat nowhere mentioned on arxtech's mesh locking system... whether is using tension screw crimping or same screwless like panther..... (or some old post mentioned b4 but not sure how true it is....)

btw, good job on gathering each brand's user's review....

Hmm.... ic... mayb can visit renex as well.... cuz looked for their info on9 but lagi limited than arxtech.... lol....

haha.... mayb u will get ur mesh faster than me..... i havent even start reno.... 

I'm surprise why lowyat forumer keep recommend 3kim
i read the good feedback at forum and decided to let them install grills of my landed house.

However the powder coat start rusty after 2 month installation and the sales girl doesn't respond at all after full payment done.
What a bad service.

Hmm this is unacceptable. Still under warranty, can claim from them.
I also used 3kim which I found from here as well. Mine is still good after more than a year.

wow.... tat means if not satisfy on the day of installation oso cannot do anything except complain....=.="

yo, I actually shortlisted panther and arxtech after some comparison (though just surveyed 4 suppliers in total).

All produce quality products, but personally, I like panther for its mesh windows' function and features....n yea.... only mesh window..... For arxtech, their mesh window is not bad, wif some thoughtful design too..... together with optima window, more choices n style....

If i only nid to do mesh, wud go for panther..... 

yea, in the end have decided to go with optima & arxtech for the balance of mesh and window..... due to the varieties of window they r having.... n more choices on appearance..... 
(Also mom like their winblind window for kitchen.....  )
due to mco, now not sure when will be my renovation starts.....

Hi
So Arxtech and Panther is different? Can you PM the quotation of casement window with mesh? Just want a rough idea how much

How much (per Sqft) you got offer from them?

Hi, so what was the complain on the 0.5?

Thanks for sharing. I got quotation from Panther in July with 20% but of cos my house is delayed so I’m still surveying Reliance, Renex and Panther. With mesh so you feel airy?
