My parent's house use aluminium grille. It can help to prevent intruder. But nothing more than that. I would say it is much easier to break.
Of course durable. No paint problem. I would say you may use it if you live in a low crime rate area. Or if your house equip with alarm |

It was 10years ago. But cheapest.2k for the whole house.I dont think metal is any better. Still the weakest part of grille are at the joints, lock, etc. |

Using aluminum grill are not wrong, basically if someone already mark a target on your house, using steel and put 10 dogs also no point.
But using aluminum you won't have rust problems. This post has been edited by supersound: May 4 2015, 08:52 AM |

If your house is still not renovated and got sliding door, suggest to seal it and replace it with window. The weakest point in a house is the sliding door. |

Was at the Homedec yesterday and one vendor quoted aluminium grilles price of RM110/sq ft for the sliding door and RM35/sq ft for windows. Don't know if this price is considered normal market price.
They are giving 20% discount if sign up with them during the fair. This post has been edited by audy: May 4 2015, 12:00 PM |

Waiting for the next home fair at end of this month to do surveyAll metal will oxidized, only have to see does that metal active or reactive towards the substance exposed. |
