Nowadays, having an invisible safety grill installed at home is becoming a necessity for many homeowners, especially those living in high-rise buildings. It is designed to protect your family members from falling out the window or balcony by providing a protective barrier on the window sill.
That said, the invisible safety grill is yet another innovation in this field that you may want to consider as an alternative to the conventional safety grill. This will ensure that the view outside your house isn’t obstructed by any bars or grids.
However, is it really safe for your family members? Will it be able to withstand Malaysia’s unrelenting weather conditions? Is it long-lasting? Well, here are some tips for you to know whether having an invisible safety grill is safe for your household.
1. Compare the designs available
Compared to the conventional safety grill, invisible safety grill come in different designs, whereby they can be arranged horizontally or vertically, depending on your preference. If you have children and/or pets at home, a vertical invisible grill is more secure than a horizontally-installed invisible grill as horizontally-installed grill act like “stairs” for children or your pet to climb.
That said, in order to choose the best invisible safety grill for your home, you should compare all the designs available. This will help you determine the best form of protective barrier and how safe is it for your household. If you’re unsure, you can consult a professional invisible safety grille provider like KLIG.
2. Choose the materials wisely
An invisible safety grill may appear vulnerable to breakage due to its thin appearance, but the thin mesh wires that run across the grill are made of extremely strong stainless steel that is commonly used in construction and marine projects. This makes it impossible to break these wires by human force.
With higher resistance to corrosion, chemical, and rust, the wires are built with incredible elasticity and high tension to provide optimum safety and sturdiness. This means you will likely need a tool that can cut through the invisible wires. This combined with the strength and sturdiness means they can withstand a force of 250kg.
3. Ensure the gap distance
There could be option for you to install 3-4 inches gap in the market. However, one important note is the gap must not be large enough for a child or pet to easily slide through. Children’s head width diameter is about 5.5 inches for age between 3 to 5 years old. An adult cat has a body width of 3.5 inches. We designed it to be having 2 inches distance between cables to reduce the risk of the gap for being too large. Or else, what is the point of having a invisible safety grille at home?
4. Select an appropriate diameter
Like the conventional safety grill, you can install an invisible safety grill with varying diameters for different installation sites such as the balcony and window. For instance, you should select a larger diameter of invisible safety grill for the balcony as it can prevent intruders from entering your home. At the same time, it can prevent unwanted mishaps. However, larger diameter of the cable grill is more rigid and less flexible compared to the smaller diameter cable. KLIG will propose a cable diameter of 2mm that is strong enough to withstand 250kg for each cable, yet not as rigid as the higher diameter cable.
In addition, installing an invisible grill with an appropriate diameter can hold against pressure more effectively than your conventional safety grill. So, make sure you select the right material with the right diameter. This will ensure the safety and security of your household.
5. Additional feature
As with most safety grills that can have an additional feature, an invisible safety grill can be integrated with a built-in alarm system for total home security to prevent any criminal activities around your house. Plus, the system can be activated when someone tries to break or damage your invisible safety grill.
The alarm system can also be connected to your existing security system so that you can easily monitor your house wherever you are. This feature is highly beneficial if you want to make full use of the invisible safety grill.
6. Experience of the supplier
When you choose a supplier to install your invisible safety grill, you will need to consider its reputation along with its expertise. A well-established supplier will have gained many years of experience under their belt. This also means the supplier pays great attention to the quality of its services.
You also need to evaluate the product quality when selecting a supplier. Some will use quality materials for your invisible safety grill, while some may use low-quality materials that will not provide the desired security level.
In conclusion, having an invisible safety grill at home is generally safe for your family members. Besides, you get to ensure the safety of your loved ones while you’re not around or away on a business trip.
