FAQs

What material are the security grilles made from?

The grilles are made from solid galvanized steel with 12 x 12 mm square bars.

Can I install these grilles myself?

Installation is possible for DIY enthusiasts with basic tools. However, cutting the steel and secure mounting may require specific tools and expertise. For optimal security and fitting, professional installation is recommended, especially for external mounting.

What are the dimensions of the grilles?

The total size is 114 x 69 cm. The assembly size can be adjusted by cutting, ranging from 114 x 69 cm down to 65 x 40 cm.

How many ways can I install these grilles?

There are two primary installation methods: bolting the grilles within the window frame or mounting it on the outside wall.

Can I cut the grilles to fit smaller windows?

Yes, the grilles are designed to be cut to size, allowing them to fit windows smaller than the total dimensions.

Will these grilles rust?

The grilles are galvanized for rust resistance. However, prolonged exposure to harsh environmental conditions may eventually lead to minor surface rust, which can be treated.

What is the color of the security grilles?

The color family is silver.

Troubleshooting

Grille is too large for the window after initial fitting.

Re-measure the window and carefully cut the grille again to the correct dimensions. Ensure measurements are taken precisely before cutting.

Difficulty in cutting the steel bars.

Use a metal cutting saw or heavy-duty bolt cutters designed for steel. Ensure you have the correct safety equipment, such as gloves and eye protection.

Fasteners are not holding the grille securely.

Ensure you are using appropriate mounting hardware for your wall type and window frame material. Consult with a hardware professional if unsure. For external mounting, ensure sufficient depth and material strength in the wall.

Rust spots appearing on the grille.

While galvanized steel offers corrosion resistance, prolonged exposure to harsh elements can cause minor rust. Clean the affected area with a mild abrasive and apply a metal sealant or rust-inhibiting paint suitable for galvanized surfaces.
