Hi, We do not like to have grills on our windows as we feel that it feel like ring in a cage. But we are also concerned about security? Any suggestion? We were advised to install laminated windows with 1.2mm pwdr coated alu frame. Along with CCTV, and alarm, is it enough? Please share. TQ

if you have to do it, you have to do it... that's all... if you don't want too, then the only suggestion is to move to a safer neighborhood

It is a semi-d. Neighbors say it is safe but still .. There's a guard. TQ 4 the prompt reply. Maybe have to rethink our choices.

Active protection = Grills, thick glass, personal guard house, dogs Passive protection = CCTV, Alarm, Neighbor
If you don't have grills, make sure you have good quality safety glass like thick tempered glass.

I was told that it is better to have laminated windows (8.23mm) compared to tempered glass. Is this true? Another advised on having a tempered glass but coated with a film like the v-cool. Got confused when sourcing for windiws . Btw, have u had any exp. with invisible grill?

Personal view, invisible grill look nice from outside, inside worse than normal grills.
Tempered glass is stronger, but once break it shatter to small pieces. Is at least few time stronger than laminated. Is use in high rise building. You have to get good quality. Difference tempered glass have its properties.

Another option is to get wrought iron grill. Nice design (do not look like jail) with the protection of a regular grill. If you get a tempered glass, it look like a regular glass, Look at window without grill = a leeeetle bit more look like an easy mark, slightly higher chances of burgular giving it a try. Look at window with grill = look like a leeetle less easy mark, as burgular have to go through the grill.

Install external alarm/ electronic fence Electric fencing need special license if not any injury you will get sue too. The windows you recommend is more expensive than thick tempered glass + grill. If one can afford this level than ok lah. You looking at around RM 100 per square feet onward.
