What Material is Used in Invisible Grills?

Invisible grills have become the go-to safety solution for modern homes, especially in high-rise apartments, due to their sleek design, strength, and unobstructed views. But one of the most common questions customers ask is: What material is used in invisible grills? In this blog, we’ll dive deep into the materials, specifications, and technical aspects of invisible grills so you can make an informed decision.

What Are Invisible Grills?

Invisible grills are thin, high-tension stainless steel cables that are spaced evenly across balconies, windows, or staircases. These grills offer maximum safety without compromising aesthetics or ventilation. Unlike traditional iron grills, invisible grills do not rust easily and provide a clean, modern look to your property.

Primary Material Used: High-Tensile Stainless Steel

The main material used in invisible grills is high-tensile stainless steel, specifically marine-grade SS 316 or SS 304. Let’s look at the differences and why they matter.

1. SS 316 (Marine Grade) Stainless Steel

Composition: Contains 16% chromium, 10% nickel, and 2% molybdenum
Corrosion Resistance: Excellent, even in coastal areas or humid conditions
Tensile Strength: Around 550 to 620 MPa
Durability: Long-lasting and highly resistant to saltwater and moisture
Ideal for: Cities like Hyderabad, Vijayawada, Guntur, and other areas with variable weather

Best Choice if you want premium, rust-proof, and long-lasting invisible grills.

2. SS 304 Stainless Steel

Composition: Contains 18% chromium and 8% nickel
Corrosion Resistance: Good, but slightly lower than SS 316
Tensile Strength: Around 500 to 600 MPa
Cost-Effective Option: Budget-friendly but still reliable
Ideal for: Indoor use or in non-coastal regions

SS 304 is great for users looking for a balance between cost and performance.

Nylon Coating: Added Protection and Aesthetic Appeal

High-quality invisible grill cables come with a transparent or colored nylon coating. This coating:

Prevents the steel from getting scratched or rusted
Increases the life of the grills
Makes it safe for children and pets
Adds a glossy, clean finish to the setup

Tip: Always choose UV-resistant nylon coating to prevent yellowing over time.

Cable Thickness and Specifications

Invisible grill wires come in different thicknesses, and the most common sizes are:

Cable Diameter	Application	Breaking Load
2.0 mm	Windows, indoor areas	~150 kg
2.5 mm	Balconies, staircases	~180–200 kg
3.0 mm	High-rise balconies	~250–300 kg

Pro Tip: For maximum safety, choose 2.5 mm or 3.0 mm cables for high-rise balconies.

Other Technical Features to Consider

Spacing Between Cables: Usually 2 to 4 inches depending on safety requirements
Installation Method: Wall-mounted aluminum channels or stainless steel frames
Tension Mechanism: Cables are tightened with advanced tools for durability
Anti-Theft Screws: Prevent unauthorized removal of the grill

Why Material Matters in Invisible Grills

Choosing the right material ensures:

Safety for your family
Longevity of the grill system
Resistance to environmental damage
Peace of mind, especially in high-rise living
