Window security grilles are essential for home security in Malaysian landed properties and low-rise apartments. However, modern homeowners no longer want cluttered, heavy iron bars that block natural sunlight and ventilation. Today's custom window grilles combine structural security with sleek, minimalist architectural profiles and essential fire escape safety.
Direct answer: KL Servis Rumah designs, fabricates, and installs custom window grilles across Kuala Lumpur and Selangor starting from RM 42 per square foot for powder-coated mild steel and RM 75 per square foot for Grade 304 stainless steel. All grilles are fabricated to exact window frame dimensions with anti-rust treatment, included emergency escape hatches, and a 12-month installation warranty.

Frequently Asked Questions
Why is an emergency escape hatch required on window grilles?
Fixed grilles can trap occupants inside during a fire. Malaysian Bomba safety recommendations advise having at least one hinged emergency escape hatch with a padlock in every bedroom grille.
How long does custom fabrication take?
From site measurement to final on-site installation typically takes 7 to 10 working days, including custom cutting, welding, and factory powder coating.
Can you install grilles over existing aluminium sliding windows?
Yes, our grilles are custom fabricated to mount neatly inside the interior window reveal or on the external masonry face without interfering with existing sliding or casement windows.
