Gates, Grills & Windows in Sainik Colony, Faridabad

Sainik Colony is a residential colony in Sector 49, Faridabad, off the Badkhal–Pali road towards the Aravalli hills. It was settled largely by ex-servicemen and their families, and it remains a neighbourhood of independent houses on individual plots rather than towers. Many homes were built in stages and are now being upgraded by a second generation, so gates, grills, safety doors and windows are the jobs that come up again and again.

Upgrading a house built in stages

A house that grew over twenty or thirty years usually has a mix of everything: an original iron gate, grills from three different decades, wooden windows on one floor and aluminium on another. The temptation is to replace one item at a time. The better approach is to look at the whole frontage once, so the gate, grills and safety door match in pattern and finish even if you spread the spending.

Gates and safety doors

A new MS main gate is the single most visible change to a house here, and the hinge posts and foundations matter as much as the design. An old gate that drags along the ground has usually sagged at the hinge side, not bent (gate sagging and dragging). For the front door, an MS safety door adds a lockable steel leaf outside the main door; safety door rattling is the fault people most often notice later, and it usually comes from a loose frame fixing. Both are quoted after the site visit.

Grills that suit how the house is used

Window grills in older houses were often fixed shut. When replacing them, it is worth making at least one per floor openable from inside for emergencies. A mild steel window grill can be flush with the wall or projecting, with a ledge for plants. The window grill designs for safety guide covers the options, and MS gate rust protection explains the finishes that last.

Windows and terraces

Replacing old windows is a common second step. uPVC windows seal well against dust and noise, while aluminium sliding windows suit larger openings and slimmer frames. Both are quoted after measuring each opening; the uPVC window price guide explains what changes the figure. On the roof, a polycarbonate terrace shed turns an exposed terrace into usable space, as long as it is sloped and guttered properly.

Ground-floor rooms facing the road also benefit from an outer grill paired with a mesh shutter inside, so windows can stay open on summer evenings without letting in insects. Designing the grill and the mosquito mesh together avoids the common problem of a mesh frame that cannot open because the grill bars are in the way. Small glass jobs, such as a cracked window pane or a broken glass shelf, do not need a visit: send a photo on WhatsApp and we quote from that, through plain glass replacement.
