Currently eyeing on panther, arxtech and renex, but since you mentioned arxtech has low visibility guess will remove it from my list sweat.gif

Mosquito netting have better visibility.....

Rather you should go view all and see.... check their hinge design (exposed or hidden), check their visibility vs security (you cant have both, need to find a balance), check their lockset (some using china/local locks while others using ISEO/ABUS), check their frame thickness (thicker i feel uglier), check their wheels/roller (heavy duty or run the mill)....

Why would you want to do this?

The cost for both mesh and ACP awning could be higher than normal tile roof and brick wall.
Privacy is a problem  when you turn on the light at night.
Furthermore, no matter how good is the product, 24/7 exposure to sun and rain will cause the paint to fade off eventually.
The mesh is normally powder coated which is not friendly for normal painting.

The only benefit is the extension work with this is less messy than the wet work.

1 word : Ventilation.

I mesh my whole house, literally, every window/glass door etc.

Cause I like fresh air. Minus the dengue.

Unfortunately Panther only covers KL & Selangor area and I am based in Johor. I did ask them if the would come down to Johor and they say yes with a min. spend of RM50k  sweat.gif

50k would be around the price to cover an entire house, but still Better dont then, cause then the after sales service will be an issue if they dont cover that area.

I am looking to install a single swing door for kitchen that has both glass and security mesh. Anyone can recommend me which company that does this?

Optima does both glass and mesh in a single frame, thus neater. Do note they only do laminated glass

Panther doesnt do glass

Thanks for this info.
Btw, when you say in a single frame, does it mean the frame has 2 doors? one opening inside and one opening outside?
*
Yup! You're spot on!

Finally moved in to my new place recently.
TLDR : Would recommend Optima for mesh, sliding door, windows
solid product, long warranty, reliable sales person, google review pouring with +ve comments on their after sales serviced (I only recently moved in, fingers cross and hope not to need any major after sales service)

Yes, Optima pro is hidden hinges but their cons is ALSO hidden hinges making the frame very thick. This is one reason I didnt go with folding door, sliding still ok cause the frame will overlap. I also engaged their sister company Arxtech to mesh up my entire house, for both security and mosquito proofing.

Quality for Optima/Arxtech is ok, i would say overkill on their hinges, frames, mesh thickness, heavy duty roller etc... my house area doesnt need that kind of protection but I can see how more "high risk" location would appreciate it.
