The installation process for these specialised grilles and gates is not very different from the normal ones, and there’s many different colours, styles, and sizes to choose from.

Cat Proof Window Grilles
Many Singapore households be it HDB flats, condos, or landed homes keep cats as pets. And there are pet welfare guidelines to ensure their safety as well as responsibilities to observe as an owner. A cat-proof window grill is designed to prevent cats from escaping or falling out of the window while still allowing fresh air to circulate in the room. These special purpose grilles typically consist of narrow-gap bars that are spaced closely enough to prevent cats from slipping through, along with a sturdy frame that can withstand the weight of a jumping or climbing cat.

Windows are of different width and number of panels, hence the best way to calculate an estimate is based on the per square feet (PSF) basis. Our cat proof window grilles are priced from $14 PSF. Homeowners can measure the window frame and do the simple math to get an idea of the cost. The design is generally horizontal bars with a gap of 45 mm to 50 mm which is sufficient to keep most pets indoors.
Where to install the Grilles
It’s essential to install cat proof grilles in any window or balcony that a cat has access to, this is imperative for those staying in high-rise HDB blocks and condominiums. Well-known for their curious and adventurous nature, cats may attempt to jump or climb out of open windows or balconies, putting themselves at risk of injury or even death. Additionally, you may also want to consider installing a cat proof grille on your main door or entrance to prevent your cat from escaping or getting lost when you open the door.
Alternatives to Grilles
While customised aluminium grilles offer the most sturdy and neat option there are cheaper alternatives should homeowner prefer to roll of their sleeves and DIY. Of course, there are other considerations to take note of when going for these options –
Window Mesh – these can be purchased online and installed on the inside or outside of the window using cable ties. However, the disadvantage is that it may not be strong enough to prevent cats from pushing their way through the screen. Additionally, they look unsightly and obstruct your view of the outdoors.
Safety Netting – DIY cat safety net kits are another option, and some providers make claims of extra-strength and tearproof features. Homeowners can try these at their own risk as it may not be strong enough to prevent cats from pushing their way through the screen or tearing it with their claws.
Cat Proof Gate
While window grilles prevent cats from accessing open windows, the customised door gates can help block off doorways to entrance, balcony, or other outdoor areas. A cat proof door gate is designed to be tall enough to prevent cats from jumping over it and has narrow vertical or horizontal bars that are spaced closely enough to prevent cats from squeezing through.
Functionally, it is like the traditional door gate consisting of a sturdy metal frame with a latch or lock that can be easily operated by humans but not by cats. Some cat-proof door gates also come with additional features like adjustable width or height to fit different doorways, as well as a foldable or sliding design for easy access for humans. Overall, a well-designed cat-proof door gate is an essential investment for any cat owner in Singapore who wants to keep their furry friend safe and secure.
