Different types of materials in making window grills.

Window grills are the protective barriers for the window openings,  anchored in the building walls or in the window frames. They provide security for the buildings from theft, animals, birds, etc.

Now let us see the different types of materials with which window grills are manufactured, to provide us with a choice, to select the one we need.

1. Mild steel window grill:

They are the commonly observed type, as they can be easily manufactured by any local fabricator, according to your window size and your preferred design. You have to apply antirust primer coatings and paints to protect them from rusting. 

2. Stainless steel window grill:

Stainless steel gives a royal and elegant look to your building. They have a shiny surface finish with metallic brightness. They are rustproof but are on the higher budget side when compared to the MS windows.

3. Cast iron window grill:

Cast iron window grills are molded in the foundry by pouring molten cast iron into the preset grill patterns. They are heavier when compared to other types of window grills. These grills are available in standard sizes, and you have to keep your opening according to their size to fit them into the opening accurately.

4. Iron window grill:
