Choosing between a security mesh or iron grilles for your home would usually be the last thing that comes to mind. However, with rising cases of home burglaries, choosing the right protection for your windows could make all the difference in keeping your home and family safe.

For instance, there was a home robbery incident that took place recently at a gated community in Pasir Gudang, Johor. Even with security guards patrolling the residential area and CCTV installed in the victim’s home, break-ins can still happen. In fact, residents were reminded to always lock their doors and windows at night. This shows that security doors and windows are an important necessity to keep your home safe and sound.
Conventional Grilles and Their Disadvantages
For security reasons, most Malaysians typically install conventional grilles, usually made from iron, at their doors and windows. While grilles are readily available, affordable, and effective at keeping unwanted things out, they also come with certain disadvantages.
One of them is “imprisoning” you. As much as conventional grilles are great at keeping things out, they can also lock you in completely. It’s a nightmare and an eventual hazard. For instance, if you need to make an emergency exit to escape from a fire or other dangers, grilles can make exits inaccessible. Fires and other unforeseen emergencies can turn the iron grilles against the homeowner; therefore, other alternatives need to be considered.
An Effective Solution: Security Mesh
Though one can plan accordingly and take precautions, another effective way is to opt for and install security meshes. Firstly, security meshes are more impact-resistant than conventional grilles, yet also effective against potential break-ins.
Another critical point is that whilst security meshes are impenetrable from the outside, they are flexible to be opened up from the inside. Not only does this improve the airflow and circulation of the home but also allows those inside to escape via the window during an emergency.
Security meshes are also effective against keeping unwanted pests out, including mosquitoes. Security mesh windows come with an existing mesh panel that keeps those pesky bugs out. In contrast, most grilles require the homeowner to install an additional screen separately, costing extra time and funds.

Additionally, security meshes offer homeowners a view of the outside and, at the same time, offer privacy. Most meshes offer different finishes that can provide a clear view or privacy as preferred.
Selecting The Right Security Mesh
Not all types of security mesh are the same. The conventional types include fibreglass or polyester screens. In Malaysia, these are often used as mosquito screens and don’t work particularly well as a security feature.
If you want a sturdier screen or mesh, opt for stainless steel. In addition, if you need something to make your property more secure, go for a security mesh that offers high durability and performs well with low maintenance whilst looking stylish. This said, the best screens are those made from stainless steel as they are extremely durable. They are robust also against strong winds and typically won’t tear easily due to the actions of pets or small children.
For home safety, Window Elements’ ArxTech collection is a good choice. Featuring safety windows fitted with elegantly designed security mesh, this best-selling collection is known for its High Tensile Stainless-Steel Wire Mesh, which effectively creates a penetration-resistant shield behind windows and doors while ensuring a sleek and sophisticated look.
This high-quality safety mesh is ideal for both doors and windows, offering effective protection from impact, easy entry and exit, improved air circulation/airflow, and clear vision. The security mesh also blocks strong sunlight, ensuring your home is cool and comfortable and offers protection against bugs and other vermin.
Every security mesh is put through a trial of stringent tests to guarantee the ability to withstand even the harshest of punishments and barrages. ArxTech also offers the option for homeowners to custom-make each mesh to ensure that it looks great in your home.
UltraVue insect mesh is a very fine and easy to see through insect mesh made by Phifer in America. The best thing about UltraVue mesh is that it is really easy to see through. When you stand back from an insect screen that’s been covered with UltraVue insect mesh, you can barely notice that it’s there – it’s super easy to see through. Another benefit of the UltraVue insect mesh is that it lets in a lot of ventilation.
The main disadvantage of UltraVue mesh is that it is not very strong – the strands tend to break, especially when you have dogs and cats or small children. It is ideal for homeowners who don’t have pets and who’s children are a bit older and unlikely to damage the screens. Standard flyscreen mesh and paw proof mesh options are stronger than the UltraVue and better suited to families with young children and pets.
