Grilling a School Without Darkening It: GD Goenka, Vasant Kunj

Solution Sahab completed an invisible grill installation at GD Goenka School, Vasant Kunj, providing modern safety for students without blocking ventilation, light or views.

An educational building sets a different brief from a home. Openings have to be made dependable around children who move through corridors and classrooms all day, while the rooms stay bright and airy enough for long hours of use.

Traditional welded iron grilles solve the safety problem by closing the opening up, and in doing so they darken the room, cut the airflow and change the look of the building. A cable system does the opposite.

The same four-stage process used on residential projects applies here, with one detail that matters on a school site: aluminium profiles are CNC-cut and pre-slotted at our Nilothi manufacturing facility, so noisy cutting work does not happen in the building.

Cables are tensioned on site with torque tensioners to a 110 Nm load and every run is pull-tested by the technicians before handover, and installation is carried out by certified Solution Sahab staff rather than outsourced labour.

If you are responsible for a school, daycare, office or clinic that needs safe openings, send us the drawings or a few photos through the contact page. We will measure first and share the specification for your building.
