The Benefits of Replacing Your Window Grilles with Security Screens
Window grilles are a common security element for most homes in Malaysia as they give the impression of safety. Installed over windows and doors, grilles can be made from a variety of materials including iron, aluminium, stainless steel and even wood and concrete. Most people may have the misconception that grilles are a good option for home security, but they actually come with their own set of risks. For example, window grilles are considered a fire hazard.
