A knotted UV-stable HDPE mesh stretched on a slim aluminium frame. Stops pigeons, crows and sparrows landing on the balcony, the AC ledge or the atrium void — without turning the elevation into something the family is embarrassed by.
Every Society in Powai, Andheri and Thane has a pigeon problem. Droppings on the AC outdoor units, nests in the chajja, the lift lobby air smelling faintly of ammonia. The committee has tried three things. None of them worked. The fourth time the topic comes up at the AGM, somebody finally calls a fabricator.
A 16 × 45 mm aluminium perimeter, anodised or powder-coated, bolted to the parapet, the slab soffit and the side walls. Sized to match the opening exactly — no gaps the birds can find later.
50 × 50 mm aperture for pigeons and crows; 25 × 25 mm for sparrows. UV-stabilised, anti-fungal, charcoal or black so it disappears against the sky from inside the room.
A 3 mm stainless cable runs the perimeter of the mesh, threaded through stainless eye-bolts every 250 mm. Pulled tight at the corners. The mesh sits flat — no sag, no flapping in monsoon wind.
When the frame can't go up — historic facade, sea-facing parapet — we anchor only on stainless eye-bolts in pre-approved positions. Reversible, society-friendly, photographable.
Specified for Mumbai monsoon and four years of UV. The mesh is the part most fabricators cut corners on. We don't — there is no point installing a four-year system on a two-year mesh, and the frame outlasts the building.
High-density polyethylene, knotted (not extruded), UV-stabilised against four years of full Mumbai sun. 50 × 50 mm pigeon-rated as standard; 25 × 25 mm sparrow-rated where the Society also wants smaller birds out. Charcoal — visually quieter than black against an Indian sky.
6063-T6, the same alloy family as our slim-section windows. 16 × 45 mm slim profile when sightlines matter, 27 × 65 mm domal for spans over 4 m or atrium voids. Anodised silver, champagne, black — or powder coat to any RAL.
SS 304 eye-bolts at 250 mm centres, SS 304 perimeter tension cable, SS 304 fasteners and turnbuckles. No MS, no zinc-plated, nothing that can rust and stain a freshly painted parapet through the next monsoon.
Apartment balconies in Powai, Andheri, Thane, Bandra and Lower Parel. AC outdoor unit ledges. Society-mandated atrium voids and podium courtyards. Restaurant terraces and hotel light-wells. The CIDCO buildings where the pigeon problem is now an AGM standing item.
Floor-to-soffit pigeon net across an apartment balcony, slim 16 × 45 frame, charcoal HDPE mesh. Often paired with an Invisible Grill on the same opening — child safety and bird control on a single install.
A 50 × 50 mm aperture is too tight for a pigeon to land in and too small to walk through. The chajja, the AC ledge and the balcony floor are clear inside a week of install — no perch, no nest, no droppings.
The standard solution most Mumbai housing societies approve at AGM. Reversible, non-structural, doesn't change the elevation. We provide the secretary with a one-page approval note and the mesh datasheet.
Charcoal HDPE on a slim 16 × 45 anodised frame disappears against the sky from inside the room. From the street, only a guest looking specifically for it will spot it.
On a balcony where child safety and pigeon control are both needed, we run both systems on a single common frame. One install, one fabricator, one elevation read.
Pigeon droppings carry histoplasmosis spores; nesting in the chajja means the spores enter the AC return and the kitchen vent. Closing off the perch eliminates the source — the practical reason the Society finally votes for it.
UV-stable HDPE, knotted (not extruded), warranted for four years of full Mumbai sun. When the time comes, we re-string a new mesh onto the existing frame in a morning. The aluminium goes nowhere.
Mumbai humidity grows mildew on cheap polyester netting within one season. HDPE is hydrophobic and the mesh runs an anti-fungal additive in the polymer — no green spotting after the first monsoon.
On Worli, Cuffe Parade and Walkeshwar towers, the standard SS 304 perimeter cable upgrades to SS 316 — the same grade used in marine hardware. The system holds up against the salt the way our window systems do.
Suraj reads the drawing. No franchise, no call-centre, no rep filtering technical questions. The relationship is the brand.
No site-visit fee. No call-centre. No quote written before measurement. Suraj reads the drawing himself, walks the site within 48 hours of enquiry, and signs off the shop drawing before we fabricate.
If your Society is running a building-wide tender, mention the flat count and the elevation on the WhatsApp — we quote per-flat and per-tower with a clear phasing plan, not as one inflated lump-sum.
