Duct Area Safety Nets in Chennai — Supply & Installation from ₹18/Sq.Ft

Every apartment block has open ducts and light shafts that collect thrown rubbish, pigeon nests and dropped objects. A duct area safety net is stretched horizontally across the shaft mouth on a wire rope frame so anything that falls is caught before it reaches the ground floor or a service pipe.

Frequently asked questions — duct area safety nets

How is a duct net fixed across a shaft?

We run stainless steel wire rope across the opening, anchor it into the four walls and stretch the net over it with turnbuckles so it stays flat and tight.

What mesh size should I choose for a duct?

20 mm stops birds and small objects, 25 mm suits general rubbish, and a 3 mm knotted net is used where heavier items could fall.

Can you cover every duct in our tower?

Yes. Most associations do all shafts in one visit — we survey the building, quote per sq.ft and complete the tower together.

Does the net need maintenance?

Just an occasional clearing of leaves. The net itself is UV-stabilised and carries a service warranty.

Local site conditions we plan for in Chennai

Every fixing uses stainless steel hardware and UV-stabilised netting so the installation survives sun, rain and coastal wind. That decision is made on site, not in the office, because the frame material and working height change the hardware more than the netting itself.

Buildings and openings we cover

  • Balconies, windows, French windows and grill-front openings
  • Duct shafts, light wells, stilt parking and lift-lobby gaps
  • Terraces, parapets, staircase voids and open atriums
  • Schools, hostels, factories, warehouses and sports grounds

Chennai neighbourhoods and nearby stretches we reach

All main residential and commercial pockets of Chennai. Dedicated installation teams cover Chennai localities and every major city in Tamil Nadu and Andhra Pradesh.
