So This Is Christmas

Merry Christmas is such an infectious feeling I like to feel that way all year around.

So if you are visiting just before Christmas, just after Christmas or even here on Christmas day I am sure you will find something of interest for you and in the spirit of Christmas.

It may be said that Christmas is no longer a celebration but this must be spoken by people that have never had trouble closing their eyes on Christmas Eve in an expectation of what maybe left for them on the carpet under the tree.

I continue to look forward to the surprise on my Grandchild's faces to this day at Christmas events.

Merry Christmas - Merry Christmas - Merry Christmas

Reasons to Invest in an Invisible Window Grille

By Gilbert Lam


The prevalence of space saving buildings, like high rises for residential as well as office use, poses many safety challenges. And the occupants most often shoulder these safety challenges, as many stories abound of people and children falling off balconies resulting in injuries and even death. Most if not all will put heavy grilles and bars around these areas. It comes at a cost however in that it is not to pretty to look at, unless on uses the Invisible Grille.

Standard grilles are basically fat pieces of metal or metal tubes, made of either pure steel or iron, or mostly aluminum. In effect, putting these types of grilles are nothing short of the same ones that they put on prison windows and doors. Thus putting these on our balcony not only makes your home look like a prison, but it makes it feel like one too when you look out of those bars.

Therefore the traditional setup is not at all aesthetically pleasing, either to the occupant or the building designer or architect. Many tenement and apartment buildings in Asia, particularly Hong Kong and Singapore, look like matchbox prisons due to the effect given by these traditional security bar grilles. However, there is an option where it does not have to be like this, in which beauty is sacrificed for the sake of safety.

Apartment owners as well as design architects will definitely find a friend in Invisible Grille. Its design will not only provide better looks outside and inside but practical safety as well. What is also great about it is its ease of installation and removal.

These invisible grilles are basically window frames that are constructed in a modular frame. The frames are strung with high tension cables made of steel that have a nylon membrane. The membrane protects against abrasion and cuts. Gutted in a vertical position, these high tension and very thin cables are spaced just wide enough to prevent entry or from someone falling out. However, they are also spaced far enough from each other so that they are basically almost invisible or hard to see.

Due to this invisible effect that the frame gives, one can have a better and more scenic view of the outside. This will also have the effect of making the room space much bigger than it actually is. Viewed from the outside it gives a much clearer and cleaner view of the residential or commercial space, and will also add greatly to its value. On top of this, it provides good ventilation also.

The high tension wires that act as grilles are very robust also. Each cable can withstand pressures or forces up to 160 plus kilos, thus no chance of small children breaking them. The nylon membrane mesh also prevents injury from cuts or abrasions and cannot just be cut with ordinary tools or devices.

An option that can come with the Invisible Grille is that it can be connected directly to your home alarm security system. Any breach from outside of the grilles will trigger the alarm. On top of this feature, the grille can easily be moved or dismantled if you change residence. Many suppliers are not out there and they usually charge a per square foot fee. Others can give you a per package price. Whatever you choose you cannot go wrong with this novel concept.
