Anyone using this system before? Where can we get it at reasonable price?

Hi ready,

You can get this system at Puchong Prima...but this stuff so damm expensive....

Saw this in exhibiton pwtc. You need to make another door or window for the SS mesh. Don't feel like it.

Thanks marcus/ozak for your feedback. I'm in penang and saw it at recent homedec. Quite expensive roughly RM150psf. Two panel sliding door cost RM6000+. I wonder whether got other brand to compare.

I like it as it is grille+insect net 2-in-1, no need to install so many layers, looks nice & simple and can act as reflective glass too! The door also has security door feature. But the price is really sky high for me...

pricey.. any other brands out there? is it really a grill replacement?

no picture??

I saw it at Viva Home - Elegant Screens (Master Security). He came over and gave me a quote for my whole house. It was close to Rm 50K. So went back to normal Mild steel grilles. All came up to RM 7k only

wow so expensive,crow190569 urs hse alot of windows izzit?

No lah. Standard intermediate terrace house. Only difference is i have a terrace (balcony) which i wanted to cover the whole area and not just the glass door.

Hahaha , with RM 50K I think you can install the best security smart home system

agreed

I was also researching on whether it is cost-feasible to install these security screens, and looking at your rough quote of RM150 psf, I think I am going to pass ... I had thought that with the additional competition, the prices would come down. I agree there should be a premium compared to normal solutions, but more than 10X more is not worth it.

Any vendor and contact details?

Saw Fujisash and Vitally, both are insect sliding door, mesh is not steel.

And they aren't cheap.

Hi all,

Just visited arxtech, and their website www.arxtech.com.my.

I went to their SG buloh factory, located in SG buloh, feels like a movie set on post doomday in earth. Those who are used to pavilion mall will get a shock.

Got their quotation at RM 125sqft for steel mesh sliding door, and with my long sliding glass door now at 22 ft, it will cost me RM 18K for full added protection. Got quotation for wrough iron galvanised powercoated grille from 3 Kim, about RM 7.3K and mosquito net from vitally, comes up to RM 2.5K: total RM 10 K.

So it is 18 k solution vs 10 k solution. But the arxtech guy said that they can build 4 panels of mesh sliding door, instead of 6 panels (currently, my condo got 6 panels of glass sliding door), leaving 2 fixed end glass panel unprotected but offered armorshield film to protect the glass from another vendor armorshield. 4 panel of steel mesh comes up to RM 12K. Now RM 12k vs RM 10k solution. With motion detector spotlight and alarm system, thief will be long gone before reaching the glass sliding door.

I think for a condo it is fine as thief need to pass main security with registration, and use passcard with CCTV to gain entrance to main building, not for house.

for balcony right? I think no need so high security. Your existing glass door should be enough. How high are you at?
I only do glass for my front door, act as a grill.

yeah that place is not really a showroom. I dunno why they dont do a proper showroom. TBH I dont like to deal with them but I have not seen a better constructed door/window than them. Their stuff is really top notch

did they give you 20% off?

Hi, my front door is wooden firerated door, steel mesh sliding door is for balcony.

I have a large balcony and there is a 3 ft walkway connecting all the balconies of units on the same floor, but the access to the balcony walkway is protected via a grille door near the common lift area.

If you have a bungalow/house with large glass sliding door, no choice but to use (a) grille and mosquito net or (b) steel mesh aluminium door.

Their product is ok, hinge is protected.

Axntech sales guy is ok, honest. I will checkout magestec at curve first.

Bro... I know its kinda 1 yr old...

But wondering what did you finally decide to go with?

How's the Majestec product compared to ArxTech? I notice ArxTech is using 2.4mm weave.. thats's like more then double the usual 0.9mm weave used in Australia.. .which limits the visibility/airflow somewhat while gaining better security (i hope).

don't you think it become kinda dark after installation?

Hi,

I picked Arxtech instead of majestec and went for the full 6 panel protection, got a bit more discount at homedec.

Airflow is ok, i can feel the wind blowing into the balcony. Visibility is also ok, i can see outside from my living room on the day time but it restrict visibility into the home.

A bit dark.

Thanskf for feedback sir!

I went to reno fair and saw the Panther brand (from australia) going for RM10k for 3 panels.. -10% discount

I got for 4 panel sliding door 8' x 12' around RM10k from Vinca

Hi maiself,

Vinca-that is uPVC frame like Fascina right?
anyone known what frame arxtech is using?


For glass, arxtech looks like the only one we discussed here to provide S.steel mesh glass.

RM10K is what kind of tempered / double layer laminated / PVB laminated glass? there different thickness

No grille solution looks tempting! with steep cost

Vinca?

What products do they offer in the "security" sense?

Cause their website is very badly done, cant even see what product range or services they offer.

Depending on which type of door/window you get form Arxtech, from what I know they are using Alluminium frames.

There is a lot of supplier that provides mesh glass, its actually 2 layer of glass with a wire mesh between it. I would not recommend this for big panels, small window maybe, but glass doors etc wouldnt be viable. Its usually for those blast door with small glass window. Its going to be very heavy, costly, and its not as secure as a proper stainless steel mesh door.

A normal swing door, too bad I have to drop Arxtech as they don't install this stuff in my area.

Not safe? looks like Arxtech is pushing this mesh glass as selling point?

s.steel mesh door is refering to those double door is it? one door with tempered glass and one door with built-in mesh door


Fascina website looks good, but looks like both of them providing similar stuff - uPVC.

It was claimed that it is better than aluminum frame and the laminated glass is not so easy to be broken without alerting neighbour.

I just bought PANTHER security mesh at bukit jalil fair yesterday. They're doing raya promo now. Decided to go with them vs others for few reasons:
1. their service is very good - salesman friendly and able to answer technicalities
2. they give 10 years all in warranty. Other brands I asked got t&c - like 10 years paint, 1 year hardware
3. they use 316 SS mesh, others 304
4. they boasted about screwless mesh retention system. I was not convinced, so was invited to their office to test on actual product. When I asked other brands for same test, they shy away from this request

Their website outlined this system very well, the last fair i went they have a sample there for ppl to "test kick". Overall quality is good, and like you said the sales people are attentive and helpful, it also helps they have "fair only promotion". Whats the promo price now, still around RM10k for 3 panels?

My only concern with them is the thickness/width of the frame due to the screwless design. A thinner frame looks nicer overall....

I feel we shouldnt be too focused on their mesh, another item to look at is the quality of their lockset and hinges. A weak hinge will have problem in the future as well as a seized/jammed lockset. A 5 point lockset can range from RM300 to RM2500...

Yeah, Panther Protect's website is quite informative. But what really gave me the confidence to settle with them was their Facebook page - quite a number of satisfied customer review there so I think their product quality and service should be consistently good la.

I was at first dubious about the 'test kick' hitting sample they put out at fair. But after I went to their HQ at kota damansara to check out their product, my suspicious was cleared. That test kick sample is of the same spec as their actual finished product. I like their showroom, and I could also see their operations is very organized during my visit there.

I was told they are current on 3rd generation upgrade of product. Comparing 3rd gen to 1st gen, frame width is thicker. But relating to my limited study of statics back in school days - thicker hollow shell has much more strength vs thinner hollow shell - i'm ok with it given I'm buying Panther for security.

And you are right, weak lock and hinges can be the weak point in a security mesh, regardless of mesh or frame type. They give out 10 years hardware warranty (vs others 1 year) so that gave me a peace of mind too.

A tip to ppl interested in Panther Protect product - it won't be easy to low ball their price, because they know they are selling security mesh with highest spec compared to other brand with the longest warranty and many satisfied customer reviews. So try to catch them during the fair promo period for the best deal.

Cant wait for my set to be installed. Will share some pics here when done

I think quite a few companies give out warranties. Arxtech gives 12/6 years warranty not sure of the details.

As for pricing, they are all more or less within the ballpark figure of RM10k/3 panels... what's the promo price you got recently as I havent update the prices.

haha, gotta read the fine print bro:
Arxtech gives 12 warranty on powder coating and 6 years hardware.
Meshtec gives 10 years powder coating and 1 year hardware.
Panther gives 10 years powder coating and hardware.
Security mesh is pricey, i do not want to worry about forking out additional money in the next few years later for repair.

Bukit jalil fair time, panther was doing 20% discount for 10k or more order - their raya promo. Panther's retail price is slightly more premium vs arx and meshtec but i'm ok given spec is better and warranty is better. Just gotta catch them at the right time for the best deal.

Just visit all these brand's hq / office, and you should be able to decide which option and deal is the best for your needs.

Hi, anyone to intro? Or any Arxtech/Meshtec/Panther/any other Mesh security grill sales representative here that can give me a quote for my condo main door for a 2250mm x 2500mm size?

i recommend arxtech
prepare 8k for your size door

This post has been edited by idoblu: Jun 5 2017, 07:56 AM

8k just for the door ?

How about fire ? Easy get out ?

Too secure till scary if fire happen.

It has a normal deadbolt lockset so just turn knob to exit

Best and safest lock for a sliding door...






Attached thumbnail(s)

The grill is already hard enough to escape when fire. Somemore secure mesh like this even harder.

Got secure mesh means no need grill bro.

Its a cosmetically more pleasing alternative.

Problem I have is..... house will have a LOT of glass sliding doors and windows.... if just put on the door.. it will look darker... how about the windows? If put entire house I bankrupt.... (not to mention small window u do mesh + glass looks dumb).

Thinking to change to security glass (blast proof stuff with wire means inbetween 2 layer of glass), then tint it darker to match the colour of Mesh+Glass so that the entire house's glass door/windows looks uniform.

But break in normally won't break the glass. Too much attention. They go over your frame, lock and joint. This type of breaking is much more quiet.

Darken the glass is ok.

I will just use alarm sensor or a simple grill with easy detach in quick.

1. Joint, always have an internal ones. I have seen people with security back door.. but the hinges is OUTSIDE. Cannot brain that.

2. I dont like easy detach grill, security concern.

3. I dont like grill, aesthetic reason, dont like my house looking like a prison.

4. Alarm. Thats the thing, over sensitive and it goes off every other day and your neighbour will start ignoring it. But my house is farily close to the security guard house, hope they will atleast take a look when it goes off. Oh and put some movement activated flood light. That helps alot.

If you don't like grill, just the alarm will do. Your area already have guard.

Change those vibration sensor to magnet switch. Put a fiber net for mosquito and magnet switch on it. That won't be easily trigger false alarm. If want secondary layer, put a motion sensor in the area.

This is what I have done. Don't bother to put on grill after change the window. I too hate the grill like prison.

Any particular reason for arxtech? Ya, I got a similar quote from expo few months back too..

No matter how much u spent, their is alway a way to break in. Recent security door is an example. Wire mesh can be break too.

Ofcourse can break.

Even bank vault can break.

The trick is to make your house a less desirable target compared to your neighbour's.

🤔

Still No need to be expensive like 10k for a door, practicality is more important

The cost is not exactly bank breaking.

And its very practical, you can open the glass door to let the air in... and the mesh will stop bugs (mosquito) from coming in. Aedes is a very serious problem in our country.

It is easy actually. But not much people will like it.

It is using psychology.

No worries.

My area aint exactly a crime zone...

+1. This is the actual reason why I am looking at Mesh Security door. I stay in a condo, with full whatever security tiers so security is really not my main concern. I would like to be able to open my door and let the cool air from outside to flow in, minus the bugs and mosquitos. Unfortunately mesh stainless steel is 4 times more than normal grilled gate. Just hoping if there's a cheaper one/brand around..

Actually aluminium mesh is most economical for mosquitoes

Fibre net is better. Been using for 17yrs. Keep my indoor free from fly bug.

Wow. Got drills?

Can you recommend me an example of aluminium mesh?

Can you recommend it to me? Which brand?

Usually hardware store got one or two size.

Hardware store fulls of fiber/plastic/allu etc nettings at a cheap cheap price. However, this would mean self installation and the aesthetic of the work... well... I can tell you i tried it and it looks ridiculous

Also these type derail from the main idea of having a secure mesh.

You guys want security of just net for mosquito/bug ?

Fibre net mainly for mosquito/bug. It magnet stick to grill if the grill is metal. Or additional magnet on the wood/alu frame.

17yrs ago, supplier install for my door and window. Nowaday can DIY and get it from ACE. It come in set with choice of window/door size.

There is still got supplier doing this. And come with some new range.

Example of fiber net. https://www.lelong.com.my/diy-mosquitoes-in...7-01-Sale-I.htm

https://forum.lowyat.net/topic/2848064/all

Ah, then I think I get what you mean.. it wouldn't be what I wanted. I would have thought the same customized mesh door can be made, but instead of using stainless steel for the mesh, it is using aluminum type. Yes, I know it defeats the purpose of security, but security is not my main concern in my condo. Just looking for alternative compared to the traditional prison bar grill door. Besides, only recently the mesh door design has been approved to be installed in my condo.

contact them directly and ask la bro. I also spent few months doing survey and nego with them. When you talk to few of them, you can better understand pros and cons of each then decide on one and nego. It's a bit like buying car lo - if you want to buy an affordable car, every dealership can throw price and give you similar offer. If you are looking for luxury car, you will probably spend more time testing, doing research, nego but not easy so probably can ask for additional value added service.

I just confirmed my order with Panther Protect today. Doing for the whole house, with a combination of casement windows, top hung windows, sliding door/windows, and a swing door. I spent almost a month doing my research before making the decision (cause it is so damn expensive so need to ensure my money will be worth it). Incase this would help any of you make your decision.. here is a simple chart I did.

Nice, thats helpful.

Also pls dnot forget about the actual lockset system.

Its good to know what lockset they are providing, if the mesh/door warranty 10 years and your lockset gets jammed..

Hi, Mäy I know how much did it cost for the whole house?

For Panther Product, they are actually aluminium mesh so the whole thing is rust free.
I have installed their Premium series, mainly for asthetics and natural cooling consideration.

In short 3X7 door roughly 3k
(3x7) x2 panels sliding door 6k
(3x7) x3 panels folding door 11k
and that is with a 20% discount. Their standard product only give 10% discount.

Anyone had install panther protect in service apartment for your grille door?

I just came across some mesh supplier in homedec yesterday. Did anyone had install titan security mesh before and any review?

Anyone have comment on Renex Steel? Price cheaper slightly compare to Arxtech, not sure how their quality fare against other brand like Arxtech.

Arxtech one thing to look for is that their installation might not be all on point. Their multi point lock doesnt go into the anchor properly i noticed. Its installer problem.

Any user of panther protect and arxtech can give a review on their product?

as currently found out that:

Panther protect comes in 2 variants: Deluxe & Premium, so as usual deluxe is the normal range which gives 0.9mm SS 304 mesh with warranty of 10yrs for mesh n frame, 6 yrs of accessories. Premium range will be 1.0mm SS 316 mesh with warranty of 15 yrs + 10 yrs.

Arxtech stated giving 1.4mm or 1.2mm mesh of SS316... with warranty of 12 yrs powder coating...(not mentioning frame) + 6 years of accessories....

Some previous forumers mentioned about the mesh netting lock type.... not sure how significant is this.....

Can some of the recent user or long existing user give some review n suggestions?

Thank you in advance~~

Anyone installed mesh door from reliance home. Mind to share their workmanship. Was quoted about RM85 per SF.

can install digital lock with mesh door?

Yes you can but normally the suppliers have their own brand to use, if you want use yours need to ask first.

anyone use renexsteel before ?

I visited renex showroom before and true that their price cheaper, but end up with panther after visited their showroom, feel more confident with them.
