Hi everyone. I am in the midst of deciding whether to use this secure screen instead of grills. It serve 2 purposes that is grill and insects net.

Any advice?

i went to their showroom in Bangsar last weekend.

This is my opinion:
- security is very good
- cost is very high
- you still you your normal windows (aluminium frame etc) which will be used together with meshtec product

So, can you imagine the cost? Plus the look is not that nice.

Just drop by the showroom....yes it is expensive...check with my contractor and seems this secure screen is 3x more expensive if you do a grill with mosquito's netting... however, you are paying for security...saw some demo video there and was shown physically you can barely put your finger in even a small cut of 5inches on the screen...

the look is better than grill la coz its almost invisible....

yes, if you are staying on a high rise. nay if on a landed. these grills are no match for burglars' big pliers.

Am thinking of going "invisible".
It is invisible if a person is not within 15feet, i presume?
China taobao had some selling with good feedbacks. rmb135 for 1mtr sq.

i thought so on the pliers but there is no way you can put in the plier as its hard and strong. You need an electric cutter. High rise no need this screen la....landed at ground floor and balcony will be good.

Did they quote by square feet or foot run or lump sum? How much estimated cost? Am thinking of this for my new house but was wondering whether it will be out of budget or not... Renovation nowadays is crazily pricy.

Do share the pricing if you know. Might consider to install on just 2 casement windows.

was told 100-150 per square foot....they can go to your hse for free quote...

Today just rang up meshtec to fix 2 panel 4x3 =RM3.1k

holy shit

I'm thinking, burglars will use pad lock/bolt cutter to cut the wire mesh.. what do u think..

Nice thing don't come cheap.

if the mesh is as strong as it looks..

1 kick to the door the hinge/lock will still break...

Is not impossible but a whole lot if trouble and time. Why would a burglar wants to waste so much time unless he really knows what's inside that is so valuable.

If it so secure, bank should use it. Maybe to protect the ATM

If you are the robber, you are kicking from the outside. The inertia and momentum isn't enough to break it. If you have to do it so many times, the noise you cause will itself deter the robber from continuing.

I did go to their showroom not too long ago. I have been searching for them for a long time now coz in Australia, this is very popular as they are strong and durable. My god mum has a bull mastiff dog which always pounces on it. No issue at all. Not even a dent.

Expensive yes but should be worth it for landed property which I hope to renovate next year after getting the keys. Just for my entrance door, it should cost more than RM3.5k. As for sliding door, the downside is you can add this on the sliding panel, but the fixed panel is still glass. Not too sure if they can do a fixed panel for that either. But imagine a typical 3 panel sliding which is 6ft by 7ft high. That's 42sqft, about RM4k + ... sigh, good things no cheap, cheap things no good.

Is all about where you anchor it. if the house is made of cement brick, how strong can it be? and if the Anchor is only 2" how stong is it?

Best is not they don't come in at night, they come day light while house owner driving in.

What happen to Malaysia?
