Securing Layout...
Living in a high-rise apartment on OMR or Anna Nagar offers stunning views and modern security, but raises safety concerns for families with active toddlers. Kids are naturally curious and fast, making open balcony rails and low window frames dangerous. Here is how to secure your home.
Many modern apartments feature aesthetic vertical metal or glass balcony railings. However, if the spacing between vertical bars exceeds 4 inches, a toddler can easily slide through. Glass panels can also shatter under impact. Installing high-strength safety nets or invisible grills is the most effective way to eliminate these fall hazards.
Windows located near beds or sofa structures are easy climbing targets for children. Installing window locks that limit openings to 3 inches is a key check. For permanent ventilation with safety, installing stainless steel window grills or custom window netting is recommended.
Along with balcony netting, homeowners should install toddler window locks, secure heavy bookshelf furniture, and install safety gates at staircase landings to ensure total peace of mind in high-rise flats.
Shyam recommends a 35mm to 50mm mesh size safety net. This is tight enough to prevent child hands and feet from climbing, while remaining highly tensioned.
No. From a distance of 15 feet, the thin steel wire cables are virtually invisible, preserving high-floor views while providing full fall protection.
Yes, they can be removed cleanly when vacating, leaving only small anchor holes that can be filled easily.
