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

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.
| Product | Rate per sq ft | Typical use |
|---|---|---|
| Pigeon / bird safety net | ₹110 – ₹180 | Balconies, ducts, utility areas |
| Window invisible grill | ₹160 – ₹230 | Bedroom and kitchen windows, French doors |
| Balcony invisible grill | ₹220 – ₹350 | Open balconies, high floors, sea-facing flats |
| Example job | Approx. area | Guide price |
|---|---|---|
| Single bedroom window | 50 sq ft (minimum) | ₹8,000 – ₹11,500 |
| 2BHK balcony | 80 sq ft | ₹17,600 – ₹28,000 |
| 3BHK balcony + utility | 140 sq ft | ₹30,800 – ₹49,000 |
| Staircase void (villa) | 120 sq ft | ₹26,400 – ₹42,000 |
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
| Grade | Best for | Why |
|---|---|---|
| SS 304 | Inland flats, windows, low to mid floors | Good rust resistance at a lower price |
| SS 314 | High floors, wide balconies | Higher strength and heat resistance |
| SS 316 (marine grade) | Sea-facing homes — ECR, OMR, Besant Nagar, Thiruvanmiyur | Molybdenum 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.
Invisible grill vs MS grill vs safety net
| Invisible grill | MS / iron grill | Safety net | |
|---|---|---|---|
| View and light | Almost fully open | Blocked by bars | Slightly hazy |
| Rust | None (stainless) | Rusts, needs painting | None |
| Child safety | Very high | High | Medium |
| Society approval | Usually allowed | Often banned on facade | Usually allowed |
| Life span | 10+ years | Depends on painting | 3 – 5 years |
| Emergency escape | Release panel possible | Difficult | Can be cut |

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.
