Question 4

Do you offer EMI or payment plans for installations?

Accepted Answer

Yes, we offer flexible payment options for larger installations. You can pay 50% at booking and 50% after installation. For orders above ₹50,000, we can arrange EMI through select payment partners. Contact us on WhatsApp for current EMI options and zero-cost EMI availability.

Question 5

Is the site visit really free? Are there any hidden charges?

Accepted Answer

Yes, the site visit is 100% free with zero obligations. Our technician visits your home, takes measurements, discusses your requirements, and provides a detailed, itemized quote within 24 hours. There are no hidden charges — the quote includes materials, installation, hardware, and cleanup. What you see is what you pay.

Question 6

How much do aluminium sliding windows cost in Ranchi?

Accepted Answer

Aluminium sliding windows in Ranchi cost between ₹350 to ₹650 per square foot, depending on the profile thickness (standard or heavy-duty), glass type (plain, tinted, or toughened), and number of tracks (2-track or 3-track). A standard bedroom window (5x4 ft) typically costs ₹7,000–₹13,000 fully installed.

Question 7

What is the cost of steel railing installation per running foot?

Accepted Answer

Steel railing installation in Ranchi costs ₹800 to ₹2,500 per running foot depending on the design (simple bar, designer, or glass-panel). SS304 railings start at ₹800/rft, while premium SS316 designer railings with glass panels cost ₹1,500–₹2,500/rft. A standard balcony railing (10–15 ft) costs ₹8,000–₹37,500.

Question 8

How long does invisible grill installation take?

Accepted Answer

A typical balcony invisible grill installation takes 2–4 hours. For a full 3BHK apartment with 3–4 balconies plus windows, expect one working day (6–8 hours). We always complete on the scheduled date and clean up thoroughly after installation. No overnight work or multi-day disruption.

Question 9

What is the step-by-step invisible grill installation process?

Accepted Answer

Our 4-step process: (1) Free site visit — we measure your balcony, assess anchor points, and discuss material options. (2) Custom fabrication — frames and cables are precision-cut in our workshop to your exact measurements. (3) Professional installation — our trained team installs using load-tested anchor bolts, tension-calibrated cables, and concealed fixings. (4) Quality check — final inspection, tension testing, and cleanup. You get a warranty card on completion.

Question 10

Do I need to be present during the installation?

Accepted Answer

We recommend being present during the initial measurements and the final quality check. During the actual installation (2–4 hours), your presence is helpful but not mandatory. Our team is trained, professional, and insured. We'll share progress photos on WhatsApp if you step out during installation.

Question 11

How long does mosquito net installation take?

Accepted Answer

Mosquito net installation is quick — typically 1–2 hours per window for pleated nets, and 30–45 minutes per window for velcro nets. A full apartment with 5–8 windows can be completed in half a day. Roller mosquito nets take 1–1.5 hours per window due to the track mechanism.

Question 12

Will the installation damage my walls or window frames?

Accepted Answer

No. Our installation uses precision drilling with dust shields and concealed fixings designed for apartment walls. For invisible grills, we use load-rated anchor bolts that sit flush with the wall. For mosquito nets, aluminium frames are screwed into the window recess — not glued. All drill holes are sealed and touched up. We leave your home cleaner than we found it.

Question 13

Can invisible grills be installed on any floor height?

Accepted Answer

Yes, invisible grills can be installed on any floor — from ground floor to 30+ floors. For high-rise apartments (above 10 floors), we use thicker 3mm SS316 cables with closer 20mm spacing for extra wind resistance and safety. Our team is experienced in high-rise installations across Ranchi's tallest buildings.

Question 14

Do you install on weekends and holidays?

Accepted Answer

Yes, we offer weekend installations (Saturday and Sunday) at no extra charge. We understand working families can't always be available on weekdays. Holiday installations are available on request — please book at least 3 days in advance via WhatsApp for weekend/holiday slots.

Question 15

What is SS316 Marine Grade stainless steel?

Accepted Answer

SS316 is a premium stainless steel alloy containing molybdenum, which gives it superior corrosion resistance — especially against humidity, rain, and salt. It's called 'Marine Grade' because it's used in coastal and marine environments. In Ranchi's humid monsoon climate, SS316 ensures zero rust even after 15+ years, unlike SS304 which can develop surface corrosion in 5–7 years.

Question 16

What is the difference between SS304 and SS316 for invisible grills?

Accepted Answer

SS304 is standard stainless steel — good quality, affordable, but can develop surface rust in humid climates after 5–7 years. SS316 (Marine Grade) contains 2–3% molybdenum for superior rust resistance — it lasts 15+ years without any corrosion. SS316 costs 30–40% more but is the recommended choice for Ranchi's climate. We use SS316 as our default and recommend SS304 only for budget-conscious indoor applications.

Question 17

What type of mesh is used in your mosquito nets?

Accepted Answer

We offer three mesh types: (1) Fiberglass mesh — the most common, offers good visibility and airflow, lasts 3–5 years. (2) Stainless steel mesh — premium option, extremely durable (10+ years), tear-proof, and pet-resistant. (3) Polyester mesh — budget option for velcro nets, lasts 1–2 years. For Ranchi, we recommend fiberglass for standard use and SS mesh for homes with pets or high-traffic areas.

Question 18

How thick are the invisible grill cables?

Accepted Answer

Our invisible grill cables are 2.5mm diameter as standard, made from high-tensile SS316 stainless steel wire rope (7x7 strand construction). For high-rise apartments above 10 floors, we use 3mm cables for extra strength. Each cable can withstand over 200kg of tensile force — far exceeding safety requirements.

Question 19

What aluminium profiles do you use for doors and windows?

Accepted Answer

We use premium aluminium alloy profiles (6063-T5 grade) with anodized or powder-coated finishes. Available in standard (1.2mm wall thickness) and heavy-duty (1.6mm) profiles. Our sliding windows use precision ball-bearing rollers for smooth operation. All glass options include 5mm plain, 5mm tinted, and 8mm toughened safety glass.

Question 20

What material is used for bird netting?

Accepted Answer

We offer three bird netting materials: (1) HDPE (High-Density Polyethylene) nets — UV-stabilized, lightweight, affordable, lasts 3–5 years. (2) Nylon nets — stronger than HDPE, lasts 5–7 years, slightly higher cost. (3) Stainless steel bird nets — premium, permanent solution, 15+ year lifespan. HDPE is most popular for apartment balconies, while SS nets are recommended for commercial buildings.

Question 21

Are invisible grills safe for children?

Accepted Answer

Absolutely. Our invisible grills are specifically designed for child safety. The 25mm gap between cables prevents even a toddler's hand from passing through. Each cable withstands 200kg+ of force — a child cannot push through or break them. The system meets international child safety standards. Invisible grills are the #1 recommended balcony safety solution for families with young children in high-rise apartments.

Question 22

Can pets damage invisible grills?

Accepted Answer

No. Our SS316 cables are virtually indestructible by pets. Dogs and cats cannot chew through or scratch stainless steel wire rope. The 25mm cable gap prevents small pets from squeezing through. For homes with particularly active large dogs, we can reduce the gap to 20mm for extra security. Many of our customers specifically chose invisible grills to keep their pets safe on balconies.

Question 23

Do invisible grills block the view from my balcony?

Accepted Answer

No — that's the entire point. Invisible grills use thin 2.5mm stainless steel cables spaced 25mm apart. From even a few feet away, they become virtually invisible. You retain 95%+ of your view, natural light, and ventilation. This is why they're called 'invisible' grills — they provide complete safety without the visual obstruction of traditional iron grills.

Question 24

Are invisible grills approved by apartment societies in Ranchi?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Most apartment societies in Ranchi approve invisible grills because they maintain the building's aesthetic uniformity — unlike traditional iron grills that look different on every floor. In fact, many premium societies like Urbana, PS Srijan, and Alcove Gloria specifically recommend invisible grills. We can provide a technical specification document for your society's approval if needed.

Question 25

Can invisible grills withstand strong winds and storms?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Our invisible grills are engineered for wind loads up to 150 km/h. The thin cable design means minimal wind resistance — unlike solid panels or traditional grills that can act as wind sails. Each anchor point is load-tested to 500kg. In Ranchi's climate, which occasionally sees strong monsoon winds, our installations have a 100% track record with zero failures.

Question 26

Do bird nets harm birds?

Accepted Answer

No. Our bird nets are designed to humanely deter birds, not harm them. The nets act as a physical barrier preventing pigeons and other birds from nesting on your balcony. Birds simply fly to an alternative location. We use UV-stabilized nets with smooth fibres that won't entangle birds. This is a humane, non-toxic, eco-friendly solution endorsed by pest control associations.

Question 27

Can I exit through the balcony in an emergency with invisible grills installed?

Accepted Answer

Our invisible grill systems include an emergency quick-release mechanism. A concealed lever allows you to detach one panel within seconds in case of fire or emergency evacuation. This feature is built into every installation at no extra cost. We also carry bolt cutters that can cut through the cables in under 30 seconds — we train all building security staff on this.

Question 28

How do I clean invisible grills?

Accepted Answer

Invisible grills require minimal maintenance. Simply wipe the cables with a damp cloth once a month to remove dust. For deeper cleaning, use a mild soap solution and a soft sponge. Avoid abrasive scrubbers or harsh chemicals. The SS316 material is self-passivating — it actually gets more corrosion-resistant over time. Most customers find that rain naturally keeps the cables clean.

Question 29

How long do invisible grills last?

Accepted Answer

SS316 Marine Grade invisible grills last 15–20+ years with zero maintenance. SS304 variants last 8–12 years in Ranchi's climate. The aluminium frames last 20+ years. The only component that may need replacement after 10–15 years is the rubber gaskets — a minor ₹200–500 service. Our 5-year warranty covers any material defects, but the actual lifespan far exceeds this.

Question 30

How do I maintain pleated mosquito nets?

Accepted Answer

Pleated mosquito nets need minimal care: (1) Gently brush the pleats with a soft brush monthly to remove dust. (2) Wipe the aluminium tracks with a damp cloth. (3) Apply a drop of silicone lubricant to the track once every 6 months for smooth sliding. (4) Avoid pulling the net harshly — use the handle. With proper care, pleated nets last 8–10 years.

Question 31

Will bird nets sag over time?

Accepted Answer

Quality bird nets installed with proper tension will not sag for 3–5 years. HDPE nets are UV-stabilized to resist sun damage. However, all polymer nets naturally lose some tension after 3–5 years due to UV exposure and weather. Stainless steel bird nets never sag and maintain tension permanently. We offer free re-tensioning within the warranty period and affordable retensioning services after.

Question 32

Do aluminium windows need painting or polishing?

Accepted Answer

No. Our powder-coated aluminium windows never need painting, polishing, or anti-rust treatment. The powder coating is baked at 200°C, creating a permanent finish that resists scratches, UV fading, and corrosion for 20+ years. Simply clean with a damp cloth. Unlike wooden windows (need annual painting) or iron windows (need anti-rust treatment), aluminium is truly maintenance-free.

Question 33

Invisible grill vs traditional iron grill — which is better?

Accepted Answer

Invisible grills are superior in almost every way: (1) Aesthetics — invisible vs bulky iron bars. (2) Rust — SS316 never rusts; iron grills rust within 2–3 years. (3) View — 95% view retention vs 40–50% with iron. (4) Maintenance — zero maintenance vs annual painting. (5) Resale value — invisible grills increase property value. The only advantage of iron grills is lower upfront cost (₹80–120/sq ft vs ₹180–350/sq ft for invisible grills).

Question 34

Pleated vs velcro vs roller mosquito nets — which should I choose?

Accepted Answer

Pleated nets are best for large openings (balcony doors, French windows) — they fold flat, look elegant, and last 8–10 years (₹120–200/sq ft). Roller nets are ideal for standard windows — they roll up neatly and last 5–7 years (₹150–250/sq ft). Velcro nets are the budget option for small windows — easy to install but last only 1–2 years (₹40–80/sq ft). For most Ranchi homes, we recommend pleated nets for doors and roller nets for windows.

Question 35

Aluminium vs uPVC windows — which is better for Ranchi?

Accepted Answer

For Ranchi's climate, aluminium windows are generally the better choice: (1) Heat resistance — aluminium handles Ranchi's 45°C summers without warping. (2) Strength — aluminium is 3x stronger, allowing slimmer frames and more glass area. (3) Cost — aluminium is 20–30% cheaper than uPVC. (4) Durability — 25+ years vs 15–20 years for uPVC. uPVC's main advantage is better thermal insulation, but Ranchi's climate doesn't demand extreme insulation like hill stations do.

Question 36

Is invisible grill better than glass railing for balconies?

Accepted Answer

Both are excellent modern options. Invisible grills: lower cost (₹180–350/sq ft vs ₹800–1,500/sq ft for glass), better ventilation, easier maintenance, and child-safe. Glass railings: more premium look, completely unobstructed view, but require regular cleaning, are heavier (structural considerations), and need toughened glass for safety. For most Ranchi apartments, invisible grills offer the best value-for-money safety solution.

Question 37

What's better — nylon or HDPE bird netting?

Accepted Answer

HDPE nets are better for most apartment use: they're UV-stabilized (last longer in sun), lighter, more affordable, and easier to install. Nylon nets are stronger and more abrasion-resistant — better for areas with larger birds or commercial use. For a typical Ranchi apartment balcony, HDPE nets at ₹25–40/sq ft offer the best balance of cost and durability (3–5 years). For permanent solutions, consider stainless steel bird nets.

Question 38

Do you provide services outside Ranchi?

Accepted Answer

Yes! GrillNet Ranchi serves all major cities in Jharkhand: Ranchi, Jamshedpur, Dhanbad, Bokaro Steel City, Hazaribagh, and Deoghar. We have dedicated installation teams for each city. For locations beyond these cities, contact us — we can arrange installations in Giridih, Dumka, Garhwa, and other Jharkhand districts for orders above ₹15,000.

Question 39

Which areas of Ranchi do you cover?

Accepted Answer

We cover all of Ranchi including: Mohrabadi, Harmu, Bariatu, Doranda, Lalpur, Kanke, Argora, Ashok Nagar, Kokar, Kadru, Hinoo, Main Road, Ratu Road, Namkum, Piska More, Hatia, Dhurwa, Chutia, Morabadi, and all surrounding colonies. Whether you're in central Ranchi or the outskirts, we provide the same quality service with no extra travel charges within Ranchi city limits.

Question 40

Is there an extra charge for installations outside Ranchi?

Accepted Answer

Within Ranchi city, there are zero travel or transportation charges. For Jamshedpur, Dhanbad, Bokaro, Hazaribagh, and Deoghar, there may be a nominal transportation charge of ₹500–₹1,500 depending on the order size and distance. For large orders (above ₹25,000), transportation is free to all Jharkhand locations.

Question 41

Can you install invisible grills in my apartment society?

Accepted Answer

Yes. We've installed invisible grills in 100+ apartment societies across Ranchi including Urbana, PS Srijan, Alcove Gloria, and many more. We handle society approvals, coordinate with security, and ensure minimal disruption to other residents. If your society requires technical specifications or NOC documentation, we provide these free of charge.

Question 42

Do you offer bulk discounts for apartment societies?

Accepted Answer

Yes! We offer special bulk pricing for apartment societies: 5+ installations get 10% off, 10+ get 15% off, and 20+ get 20% off. We also offer a referral bonus — ₹500–₹1,000 for every successful referral from within your society. Many societies designate us as their preferred installer, which makes approvals faster for all residents.

Question 43

What warranty do you offer on invisible grills?

Accepted Answer

We offer a comprehensive warranty: 5-year replacement warranty on all materials (cables, anchor bolts, frames) against manufacturing defects and corrosion. Plus 1-year warranty on installation workmanship. If any SS316 cable shows rust within 5 years, we replace the entire panel free of charge. This is the strongest warranty offered by any invisible grill installer in Jharkhand.

Question 44

What does the warranty NOT cover?

Accepted Answer

Our warranty does not cover: (1) Damage from external impact (e.g., heavy objects thrown at the grills). (2) Unauthorized modifications or tampering. (3) Natural disasters (floods, earthquakes). (4) Normal wear of rubber gaskets after 5+ years (replacement costs ₹200–500). (5) Damage from construction or renovation work on the building. Essentially, if the product fails due to our materials or workmanship, we cover it. If external factors cause damage, we offer discounted repairs.

Question 45

How do I claim warranty service?

Accepted Answer

Simply WhatsApp us a photo of the issue along with your installation date and address. Our team will inspect within 48 hours (same-day for safety concerns). If the issue is covered under warranty, we repair or replace at zero cost. We maintain records of every installation, so even if you've lost your warranty card, we can verify your coverage instantly.

Question 46

Do you offer after-sales service and annual maintenance?

Accepted Answer

Yes. We offer free annual check-ups for the first 2 years after installation. After that, we offer affordable annual maintenance packages: ₹500 for invisible grills (tension check, cleaning, gasket inspection) and ₹300 for mosquito nets (track lubrication, mesh inspection). Most customers find they don't need any maintenance — our products are built to last.

Question 47

What happens if I move to a new apartment?

Accepted Answer

We offer a relocation service. Our team can carefully remove your invisible grills or mosquito nets, transport them, and reinstall at your new address. The removal and reinstallation costs approximately 30–40% of a new installation. Your warranty transfers to the new location. Contact us at least 1 week before your move date to schedule.

Question 48

What is the weight capacity of invisible grills?

Accepted Answer

Each individual SS316 cable in our invisible grills can withstand over 200kg (440 lbs) of tensile force. A typical balcony panel with 15–20 cables can collectively hold over 3,000kg — far exceeding any realistic impact scenario. The anchor bolts are rated to 500kg each. This engineering ensures your family's safety even in extreme situations.

Question 49

Can I choose the colour of my invisible grill frame?

Accepted Answer

Yes. The aluminium frame comes in multiple powder-coated colour options: White, Black, Brown, Grey, and Wood-grain finish. Most customers choose White or Black to match their window frames. The stainless steel cables are naturally silver and cannot be colour-coated (paint would chip off). Custom RAL colours are available on request for orders above 5 panels.

Question 50

What if it rains on the installation day?

Accepted Answer

Light rain doesn't affect installation — our team works with all necessary safety equipment. For heavy rain or storms, we'll reschedule to the next available day at no extra cost. We always confirm the installation date one day prior via WhatsApp and proactively inform you if weather conditions require rescheduling.

Question 51

Do you charge differently for different floors?

Accepted Answer

For invisible grill installations, there's a nominal height surcharge for buildings above 15 floors: ₹10–20 extra per sq ft for floors 15–20, and ₹20–30 extra for floors above 20. This covers the additional safety equipment, thicker cables, and specialized anchor bolts required for high-rise installations. Ground to 14th floor installations have standard pricing.

Question 52

Why choose GrillNet over other installers in Ranchi?

Accepted Answer

GrillNet stands apart in five key ways: (1) Materials — we use only genuine SS316 Marine Grade (many competitors use SS202/SS304 and label it SS316). (2) Warranty — 5-year replacement warranty, the strongest in Jharkhand. (3) Experience — 2000+ installations across 6 cities. (4) Transparency — itemized quotes with no hidden charges. (5) After-sales — dedicated support team with 48-hour response guarantee. We're not the cheapest — we're the best value.

Question 53

Can I paint or powder-coat invisible grill cables?

Accepted Answer

We strongly advise against painting the SS316 cables. Paint or powder coating on thin cables will chip, flake, and look unsightly within months. The natural silver finish of stainless steel is designed to blend with the sky and become virtually invisible. If colour matching is important, choose a matching frame colour (black, white, brown, grey) — the frame is the visible element, not the cables.

Question 54

How quickly can you start after I book?

Accepted Answer

Typical timeline: Day 1 — free site visit and measurements. Day 2–3 — you receive the detailed quote. Day 3–5 — after confirmation and 50% advance, we begin fabrication. Day 5–7 — installation at your home. Total turnaround: 5–7 working days from booking. For urgent requirements, we offer express service (3–4 days) at a 10% surcharge.
