22 Jun The Safety Checklist: Are Invisible Grilles Cat-Proof and Child-Safe?
Engineered for High Tensile Strength
Don’t let the “invisible” look fool you. High-quality invisible grilles are made from 316 stainless steel cables wrapped in a protective membrane. Each cable can withstand a high tensile pressure of over 200-250 kg. This means they will easily hold up against an accidental slip by a child or a heavy impact.
Making It Pet-Safe: The Gap Matters
While a standard 3-inch or 4-inch gap is perfect for preventing child accidents, it might not be enough for a curious kitten or small dog.
-
For Kids: A standard 3-inch to 4-inch gap prevents a child’s head or body from passing through.
-
For Cats/Pets: We strictly recommend a 2-inch gap. This narrower spacing ensures even the most agile cats cannot squeeze their bodies through the cables.
The Verdict: Yes, invisible grilles are highly secure for both kids and pets, provided you choose the correct gap width and opt for professional tensioning.
