Invisible grills fitted across Koramangala, through Blocks 3 to 8, Ejipura and Jakkasandra. Much of the housing here is an older independent house that has gained a floor or two since it was built, and the upper-floor balconies on those additions are where almost every enquiry from this area starts.
What Koramangala changes about the job
The same crew and the same materials everywhere in Bangalore — what changes is the building stock, and what that means for how the job is fitted.
Parapet heights on the newer upper storeys in Koramangala are frequently knee height — low enough that a railing reads as decoration. That is the single most common thing we find on a measurement visit here, and it is why we quote from a measured parapet rather than a standard drop. Where the parapet is that low we run the cable from the floor slab instead, so the protected height starts at the deck and not above it.
Koramangala is old Bangalore that has been rebuilt on itself. A lot of the housing is a 1980s independent house that has since gained two floors, and the parapets on those upper additions are frequently lower than anything built today would be allowed to be — often knee height on a third-floor balcony. That is the single most common reason somebody in this area calls us, and it is why we measure the existing parapet before quoting rather than assuming a standard drop.
Building stock here
Converted independent houses and small apartment blocks through Blocks 3, 4, 5 and 6, denser low-rise around Ejipura and Jakkasandra, and a steady share of commercial floors along 80 Feet Road and the Inner Ring Road side that need bird netting rather than safety work.
Why our invisible grills hold up
With invisible grills, the specification is easy to fake and hard to see. Cable grade, spacing and tension are what actually stop a fall, and all three are invisible in a photograph. We fit only 316 cable, hold the 2-inch spacing across the whole run, and name the grade in writing on your quote — so what you paid for is written down before anyone drills a hole.

Installed and cleaned up Our fitters set the anchor points into the parapet edge and slab, run and tension each cable in turn, then walk the full span checking spacing and tightness before sealing the holes.
Questions we get in Koramangala
Our Koramangala house is older. Will the parapet hold the anchors?
The concrete will; the plaster on it often will not. We anchor into the structural slab or the parapet's concrete core rather than the render, which occasionally means moving a fixing line by an inch or two from where you would expect it. That is checked on the measurement visit, not discovered on installation day.
Which parts of Koramangala do you cover?
Every Koramangala block is covered, along with Ejipura, Jakkasandra and the 80 Feet Road commercial stretch. No travel charge within Bangalore.
Will the grill actually be invisible?
Not literally — up close you can see the cable. From a few feet back, and from outside the building, the opening reads as open. That is the whole reason people choose it over an MS grill.
Is 2-inch spacing safe for a small child?
Yes. Two inches is narrower than a toddler's head breadth, which is the standard the spacing is set against, and the cable is under tension so it does not spread apart under a push.
Does drilling damage the balcony?
Anchors go into the structural parapet edge and the slab soffit, not the tile face. The holes are sealed and touched up as part of the job.
How long does an invisible grill last in Bangalore?
316-grade stainless does not rust in this climate, and the cable is under tension rather than under load, so there is nothing that wears in normal use. The practical life is far longer than a painted MS grill in the same position.
What does an invisible grill cost in Bangalore?
It is quoted per square foot of opening, and the figure depends on the size and how the anchors have to be set rather than on your area of the city. The measurement is free, the price that comes out of it is fixed, and it does not change afterwards.
