For the glass + mesh combo, roughly how much per sqfeet?
*
combo or no combo same price no discount.

depends on its top hung or casement or sliding, or folding etc... it should be around $100~140 psft

During the first MCO, I managed to secure a super deal for RM57 psqft from an unknown vendor.

Immediately ordered for my folding side and swing front doors, total 130sqft.

The outcome is definitely much better than those security mesh grille from mosquito net vendors. Visually, I don't see much difference comparing to panther protect product too. No idea with optima.

Anyway, the deal is over and price is back to about RM100 psqft. If you are looking for great deal, it may happen anytime during this pandemic.

Hmm do you know the thickness of the mesh based on the price you get? hmm.gif

Just ask them. :-)
Also, they provide sample to show.
Mine is 0.9mm SUS304.

I had similar mesh door in my previous house for many years, hence I roughly can know the difference.

I see..thanks.
Quite a good price with promo you got there, but if normal price is 100/sqft, definitely it's a bad deal since can get better quality products with that pricing.

Your 1.2mm mesh is Aluminium or Stainless Steel?

My previous mesh door had 1.2mm (or 1.3mm .. i forgot) but it is Aluminium.
The vendor said stainless steel has 0.9 or 1.0 mm only.
Anything thicker should be Aluminium and it will definitely make the room dimmer.

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)....

Yeah for sure will visit showroom to have further understanding about their products and compare between panther and the other one called renex.
So far I think 0.9-1.0mm mesh thickness is the best in order to maintain both security and visibility.

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.

Thanks for the feedback. Was considering this because my house already has a wall of 6 feet. If extend with roof I was told I need to knock off the whole wall and rebuilt with pillar to support the roof.

Yes only if you want a concrete slab roof.
anyway, it’s out of topic in this thread.

FYI, mesh screen is not cheap.
The final cost may be same or even more than your wet work extension.

1 word : Ventilation.

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

Cause I like fresh air. Minus the dengue.
