I saw videos on how easily the invisible grilles wire can be cut and burnt. Anyone had any experience to try to burn or cut the wires? I saw the company doing those videos is part of this company called Endo Grilles, thus should be true, right? Since they are also selling invisible grilles?


Please advice

That peace of mind, it is just priceless.

Does anyone have any views on whether black grills are aesthetically more "invisible" compared to silver coloured ones? Also, any concerns on rust as I was told that if rusting, can’t see inside the black grills but you can see inside the silver ones. Thanks.

The guy who has done the measurement did not give us quotation after more than a week, when hubby called him, he hanged up the phone and rejected our call. SMS no reply. Complaint to their company is also useless. They assigned another guy which is even worse, quoted a horrible number to us. I believe they are just fed up and not keen on the business. (Maybe too many orders and business so good). These ppl include an Indian called himself Samy, and another guy called Nelson Pang claimed himself sales manager.

Hi again,


Just to check.

When you guys do invisible grilles for your homes, do u install on the bathroom windows too? My friend did that for her house and she advised me to do so too. But my hubby thinks not necessary as the bathroom window is high, so unlikely the child can fall out.
Hi,
To play safe, just install.
we did for our bathroom windows.
just my 2 cents

Tks floppy.

I would like to install gate/grille at main door but the narrow space btn the door and the edge may not be possible.

STL: No you can't because the entire invisible grille will be drilled onto your door frame, hence you cannot get in or out of your house unless you prise the taut wires apart!

Have you seen an invisible grille before?

Hi JS
Am a suaku; have not seen it before 😞

I am looking for a suitable grille/gate for main door.

I had existing mosquito net installed on the window so in order to install the grilles I had to take out the net and was told that all I need to do was just stick it back on the grills frame when it is installed. Little did I know that after the installation there is a GAP of about 5mm between the window frame and the grills frame. So even if I have put the mosquito net back on it wouldn’t work as the insects can just crawl in via that 5mm gap. Also in order to install the grills we had asked them to shift the curtain railing. They shifted it alright but it was so close to the frame I can’t even hang my curtains. Now I can’t put my curtains and also the mosquito net which render that my window is totally useful as I can’t open my window and I can’t put up my curtains. Please rethink and check properly before engaging them. Seems like they just do a haphazard job and not care about the after care. Really disappointed with this. It is worse then before. I messaged the sales person but no reply.

Could it be they are the leading brand in SG, too many sales and orders, hence the bad service?

Any other recommendations? I’m only aware of Le Gate, Le Home, CSA…

I just measured my 2 mth old baby forehead, almost 4 inches. So u are right that by the time they are crawling, they will be at least 4 inches

For me, i should be getting 3 inch for peace of mind. Definitely not 2 inch as it is for pets and cleaning of windows is too difficult when the gap is so small

From what i know, 2 ,3, 4 inches all meet the safety regulation.

I have a 4yo and 3mth old baby. I just measured my baby’s forehead and it is already wider than 10cm. She is an average sized baby, by the time she starts crawling, i think 4inch gap will be good enough for our balcony.

However, i am installing full height grilles on my balcony, and the glass railing is just under 1metre high, and so 4inches will be sufficient for my needs. Do your bedroom windows open from quite low? For extra security and peace of mind, it is not uncommon for families with young children to install 3inch wide gaps between grilles.

So 4 inch gap is ok for small children? 4 inch seems quite big.

Choose between 3 or 4 inches, given that you have young children.

Of course, small width means better security but at the cost of aesthetics (it may start to look more like a prison with so many steel lines), plus it makes cleaning windows even more challenging if you install the fixed grilles.

You may also need to check with your building management council if there are any specifications that you need to comply with. For example, my management council stipulates that we use 4inch gap for our balconies, which is the maximum rcommended gap by various professional bodies to protect young children from accidental falls.

Am thinking of doing invisible grilles with Le Gate for the safety of my small children, a baby and a 3 year old as i stay at high floor

The salesperson say there are 2 inch, 3 inch and 4 inch gap grilles.
Which one should i choose?

I am installing grilles for all windows and we have no balcony.

Thanks 🙂 🙂 🙂

My windows are big for condo standards. I asked for quotes from LeGate and CSA. Both quotes were almost the same, around $4500 for my place.


I haven't done them yet as i am still deciding on which company.
In the end, i decided not to put invisible grilles in my bedrooms. We have large sliding windows, the type that slides horizontally, left & right. They are very low, which means that if i stand on my bay windows, the window open from around my knee to above my head. I have two young kids and are petrified when they stand on the bay windows.

I found a cheap solution which works very well for my bedrooms. It is window wedges that you can stick onto the top of your window to restrict the size of the opening. The great news is that you can remove the wedge and restick (it uses strong velcro) whenever you want to open the windows wide. Our windows are high so our kids cannot reach the wedges. We put the wedge to allow only 10cm window to be opened. Once the window wedge is in place, even an adult will not be able to open the windows beyond the wedges, unless you remove the wedge from the window itself.

http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B000H4C6F ... SY200_QL40

I dont work for the company, honestly, but just wanted to share an alternative to invisible grilles for sliding windows that we have found as a great (& cheap) solution.

I will update once we install invisible grilles for our balcony.
We have been quoted roughly the same price from both LeGate and CSA to do our balcony ($1400-$1500 incl Gst.) The price is the same even if you do 3inches or 4inches width between each grille. They quote based on area. The difference in grille thickness is not noticeable.

Csa invisible grilles
2.3mm thick
Load bearing approx= 500Ib
5 yrs guarantee

LeGate invisible grilles
2.0mm thick
Load bearing = ?? (Less than 500Ib)
3 yrs guarantee

At the moment, i am leaning towards csa, but want to do more research first.
