Photos of real invisible grill installations by YPL across Chennai and Tamil Nadu — balconies, windows, staircases and terraces in SS 304 and 316.

  • Every photo is a job we measured and fitted

  • Balconies, windows, staircases and terraces

  • SS 304 and 316 nylon-coated cable

  • Free site visit before every quote

Every photograph here is a job we measured, supplied and fitted. The cable is what you will get: nylon-coated stainless steel, tensioned to the same tightness across the whole panel, with anchors set into the wall or the railing.

What to look for in the photos

  • Even spacing between the cable runs — about 50 mm, top to bottom
  • Cables that sit straight with no sag, because each run is tensioned with a calibrated tool
  • Anchors set into the wall or railing, not glued to the surface
  • Openings that still read as open — light and air pass straight through

Send us a photo of your balcony or window on WhatsApp and we will tell you the grade and rate that fits it. Rates run from ₹110 to ₹350 per sq ft depending on the product and grade, installation included, and the site visit and written quote are free.

Invisible grill price in Chennai

We charge per square foot of opening, and the rate includes the cable, anchors, track and installation by our own team. There is no separate labour bill. The minimum job size is 50 sq ft. Your exact rate depends on the cable grade, the spacing and the floor height, which is why every quote starts with a free site visit and a tape measure, not a guess over the phone.

ProductRate per sq ftTypical use
Pigeon / bird safety net₹110 – ₹180Balconies, ducts, utility areas
Window invisible grill₹160 – ₹230Bedroom and kitchen windows, French doors
Balcony invisible grill₹220 – ₹350Open balconies, high floors, sea-facing flats

These example figures are worked out from our per-square-foot rates to give you a feel for the budget. Your written quote after the site visit is the final price.

Stainless steel grades we use

GradeBest forWhy
SS 304Inland flats, windows, low to mid floorsGood rust resistance at a lower price
SS 314High floors, wide balconiesHigher strength and heat resistance
SS 316 (marine grade)Sea-facing homes — ECR, OMR, Besant Nagar, ThiruvanmiyurMolybdenum content resists salt air corrosion

All cables are nylon coated, which protects the steel from dust and salt, keeps them smooth to touch for children and stops the metallic shine that makes ordinary wire stand out. Cable spacing is usually 2 to 3 inches — close enough that a child's head cannot pass through.

How we install an invisible grill

  1. 01

    Free site visit

    We visit your home, measure every opening and check the wall material and floor height.

  2. 02

    Written quote

    You get a clear per-sq-ft quote with the grade, spacing and total — no hidden charges.

  3. 03

    Track and anchor fitting

    Aluminium tracks are fixed to the top and bottom with anchor bolts suited to concrete, brick or block.

  4. 04

    Cable tensioning

    Each stainless cable is threaded, pulled to tension with a calibrated tool and locked.

  5. 05

    Safety check and handover

    We test every run, clean up the site and show you how to care for the grill.

A normal 2BHK balcony is finished in a single day, usually 3 to 5 hours, with very little drilling dust and no welding.

Care and maintenance

  • Wipe the cables with a damp cloth once a month — no paint, no oil
  • Avoid hanging heavy loads or clothes lines on the cables
  • Call us if a cable ever feels slack; re-tensioning is quick
  • Sea-facing homes: rinse with fresh water after cyclone season

Are invisible grills strong enough for children?

Yes. Each tensioned stainless cable holds a load in the region of 400 kg, and the 2–3 inch spacing stops a child from slipping through.

What is the invisible grill price per sq ft in Chennai?

₹110 to ₹350 per sq ft depending on the product and grade — pigeon nets ₹110–180, window grills ₹160–230 and balcony grills ₹220–350. Installation is included and the minimum job is 50 sq ft.

Will an invisible grill rust near the sea?

Not when it is SS 316 marine grade with nylon coating, which is what we recommend for sea-facing homes.

Do invisible grills block the view?

No. The cables are thin and spaced apart, so from a few steps away they almost disappear and light and air pass straight through.

How long does installation take?

Most balconies and windows are finished in one day, usually within 3 to 5 hours.

Can pigeons get through an invisible grill?

Pigeons can pass through standard spacing. If birds are the problem, ask for a pigeon net or a combination of grill and net.
