Best Window Grill Choices in Singapore

Today, window grilles are not only a means of protection, but also an aesthetic element.Maybe in older days, the phrase “window bars” gave rise to not very pleasant pictures and imagery in the minds of people. Things are very different today.

Window grills can be stylish and beautiful and can tie in well with your interior design. Although their main purpose is to protect against external unwanted entry into a residential area, their appearance can help to greatly decorate a building.

In Singapore if you need to install the window grills, you have many variable options. The key is choosing the right design and the right professional to install them.

Where to begin?

Here are our simple tips for choosing window grates.

The simplest move: if you liked the neighboring grates, and believe them to be beautiful and reliable, ask your neighbors who put them and how much does it cost.

Or remember which of your friends recently put bars on the windows. Ask them for advice.

But everyday advice is one thing, and a conversation with a specialist is one that should be ranked on a higher scale. To schedule an appointment with a grille specialist, you can head over to SG Gate Door Window at https://gatedoorwindow.com.sg/windows/ to make an appointment.

You can try comparing quotations from various different companies.

You should personally visit all the selected firms. This is the best way to make sure of the authenticity and the competency of the advertiser. Firms with extensive practical experience have quality customer service.

In addition to the catalog with samples of window grilles and the price tag, the customer should be offered to inspect the exhibition stands and evaluate the quality of welding of their individual elements on the spot.

Here you can discuss with a specialist everything about gratings for windows, drawing and painting reliability of the finished product.

And don’t forget to take a look at the license that allows the firm to manufacture “exterior metal structures” and install them in buildings. Without the required license, firms can’t help you for your HDB renovation works.

Removable or Fixed Grille?

First of all, a good, reputable company will tell you that window grilles differ in the way they are fastened. They are stationary (that is, non-opening), hinged (with one or two opening doors), sliding (made as a pantograph, a sliding hinged parallelogram) and removable (mounted in the window opening, the grill frame is attached to the wall with screwing bolts).

Find a time to consult with a specialist, to find out which type of grille suits you best.

Let’s say your apartment is on the ground floor and it seems to you that it is better to put stationary bars on all windows. Sounds good? But what ifthere is a fire and access to the front door is blocked by a flame? Where would you be able to go?

That is why a specialist will most likely advise you to make one of the grids a hinged one with an internal padlock or mortise lock. The latter, which, by the way, complies with fire safety standards for rooms with one entrance door.

Conclusion

A sliding grill can also be helpful for many homeowners. But it has major drawbacks.It is made of a strip that can only be moved and riveted crosswise, and this would somewhat reduce its rigidity and protective properties.

In addition, some types of sliding grills only up to 80% of the window opening. This may be a tough restriction for many homeowners to endure.
