Why do invisible grills suit Nellore?
Humidity. Steel grills rust at the joints in Nellore’s damp air and stain the walls below. SS 316 cables and aluminium tracks don’t.
Light. Cables block far less light than bars, which matters in older houses with small windows.
Heat. Thin cables hold little heat, so rooms behind them stay cooler in summer.
Look. Newer homes in Magunta Layout and Vedayapalem often want a clean facade.
Where are they fitted?
- Upper-floor windows in houses
- Staircase windows and openings
- Roof terraces above low parapets
- Balconies and French windows in flats
What’s the specification?
| Part | What goes in |
|---|---|

| Spacing | About 2–3 inches, closer for toddlers |
| Direction | Vertical recommended with children |
| Tracks | Aluminium, fixed with stainless anchors |
What happens on the day?
We measure each opening, cut the tracks to size, fix them top and bottom with stainless anchors, thread and tension each cable and check every one by hand.
Can old grills be replaced?
Yes. Many older Nellore houses still have their original steel grills, rusted and repainted many times. Once they’re removed and the wall made good, an invisible grill in the same opening ends the repainting for good.
What if I’m building?
Fit invisible grills once the window openings are plastered. The tracks sit neatly in the reveal, and you never need steel grills at all.
How do I look after them?
Wipe the cables when dusty and press them gently every few months. If one feels looser than the rest, we can re-tension it.

Can I add a pigeon net?
Yes. Pigeons can pass between the cables, so homes with a bird problem often add a transparent net behind the grill. It’s fixed to the same lines as the tracks, so it looks tidy.
What if monkeys visit?
Cables at close spacing stop monkeys reaching through an open window. For roofs and balconies they climb onto, a heavier net is still needed.
Can tenants fit grills?
Yes, with the owner’s permission. They can be removed when you move, leaving small screw holes to fill.
