Hi All,

I just bought a new condo, located on the 1st floor, my family is worried about my safety because my unit is very easily accesible/get break in through the windows(a lot of windows!) I initially refused to install grill because i don't like the aluminium grill, it makes me feel like in a jail. But, i agree with my family that, i should install something for extra security, even though there is condo security.

I was advised to look for invisible grill, so taht it won't look visible from far.

May i have your advice/contacts to get these invisible grill?



Thanks in advance

Like these?

Houz got some sample, personally it feel more like in a jail with this. It use the high tension steel string (forgot the name),

From far look line.

I also saw that in my client house, when i want to open window, my hand is not able to go thru the grill, even yes, also very dificult. If talking about "secure", yes that is more secure compare to no grill, but still not so hard to cut it actually.

If not mistake, it can link to alarm system too

thanks for the output, guys!

Wacky-Angel, thanks for the visual, and the website link, this is the 1st time i see the invisible grill, i don't like it too.

what other options do i have?

if i install alarm, do you think the security guards will really act fast enough?

hmmmm....

Another option for you is to put tinted film that is stronger and design against light burglary. That said, some are bullet proof too but they don't come cheap. The problem with this is while it is a deterrence it is not visually clear to the thieves.

I was toying with this when I changed my sliding doors as I didn't want to have unsightly grill too.

Get thick temper glass windows, is strong. But also very expensive.

but the frame & lock must also be reenforced else no point...

cause most alu window frame use a screw to fix to the swing handle..

if a thief put a screw driver and "kiau" pry sure open then ur thick temper glass also no use

The thick material is very solid. Need proper installer. You seen the reliance windows? There is another version with UPVC very expensive, during the fair i ask about RM 80 - 90 per sqft.

Well, i guess that not only expensive at the window, removing existing window and install new window with all the hacking and plaster are also very costly.

Ah, that one not expensive lah, i read somewhere here he/she was quoted few hundred only. Maybe Condo is difference cause the wall are pre-build, and need special skill people. Also permission to change.

What floor are you at?

Seriously do you really need the security? I doubt got any burglar will climb so high isnt it?
U should worry more about the door instead imo

Sauming stay in 1st floor.

Buy a pit bull... solve all your problem .

Invisible grill is only to prevent small kids from climbing over. It does not prevent breaking in. The wires can be easily cut.
It is also over price..
