While there are plenty of balcony safety grills to choose from in the market, selecting the right safety grill for your balcony can be difficult. After all, they can provide maximum security to your family, especially your children and pets, while giving you the best views of your surroundings.
When looking for a balcony safety grill, you will need to ensure that it is child-friendly and pet-friendly. They also come in many different shapes and sizes, so there is one for every type of home. Some balconies require more protection than others, depending on their size and shape.
As such, it is imperative that they are installed properly and securely so that they can prevent children and pets from falling off the balcony. That said, here are some things that make the invisible safety grill the perfect choice for your household.
1. The space between the cable
When you install a balcony safety grill, there are various components that come with it to keep the cables in place. One such component is called the “Frame”, which is designed to hold the stainless steel cable to the desired cable width.
At KLIG, we install the stainless steel cable with a gap between them at 2 inches instead of 3-4 inches. This is because a toddler of 3-5 years old has a head width of 5.5 inches while an adult cat has a body width of 3.5 inches. Hence, having a balcony grill installed with a 2-inch gap is the safest option for your home.
2. The durability
Having an invisible balcony grill installed at your balcony may seem like it can break under a lot of pressure but one single cable is tested and proven to be able to withstand a force up to 250kg before breaking. Just 10 of the cables together can withstand up to a force of 2.5 tonnes.
Besides, once your balcony safety grill is installed, it will not be easy to remove because it’s made from a solid material. This means that your pets may fiddle with the balcony grill but they won’t be able to remove them from their place.
3. The material
Balcony safety grills are generally made from one of the most robust metals that will not rust, which is stainless steel grade 316 and above. At KLIG, we use premium anti-rust 316L stainless steel cables for the grill.
Bear in mind that this stainless steel 316L cable is commonly used in outdoor construction and marine projects. It’s also not prone to rusting or corrosion. If there is a formation of rust, there is a danger of your child or pet licking the rusted material because they tend to put everything they find into their mouths. For added safety, the cables are coated with nylon or NanoTetra coating to ensure that they’re not only safe for your children but also your pets.
4. The ability to incorporate an alarm system
Like any other safety grill, you can incorporate an alarm system on your balcony safety grill. This is especially beneficial when you have to leave your child or pets alone at home without the supervision of an adult. Should there be an intruder in your home, the alarm system will go off and possibly alert your neighbours.
Another good thing about the balcony safety grill is that it can appear invisible when viewed from afar. As such, the intruder will not be able to notice them, allowing your security cameras to take a good shot of the intruder.
In a nutshell, the points above highlight why having a balcony safety grill at home is the best option if you have children and/or pets.
