Iron / MS quote basis: budget with the published ₹220–330/sqft band above (or a site ₹/kg quote). This shared tool is geometry & design preview only — monetary rows from the aluminium costing engine are hidden here so they are not mistaken for an iron quote. Final MS price is confirmed separately.

Local fabricators often quote MS by ₹/kg. WoodenMax publishes a ₹/sqft band (₹220–330) so you can compare window sizes without a separate kg rate card. Convert only after you know finished weight from a site quote — we do not invent a ₹/kg list price here.
Iron grills are cheaper initially but rust over time and need annual maintenance. Aluminium grills cost more upfront (₹385-495/sqft) but are rust-proof and maintenance-free for 15+ years.
Yes, iron grills cost ₹220-330/sqft vs aluminium ₹385-495/sqft. However, iron requires painting every 2-3 years (₹30-50/sqft each time). Over 10 years, aluminium costs less due to zero maintenance.
Apply anti-rust primer before painting. Use enamel paint, not water-based. Repaint every 2-3 years. Avoid direct water contact. For rust-free alternative, choose aluminium grills which need no maintenance.
MS (Mild Steel) grill is another name for iron grill. MS grills use mild steel pipes and rods welded together. They are strong but heavy and prone to rust. Aluminium grills are lighter and rust-proof.
Yes, iron grills can be powder coated, but the coating doesn't last as long as on aluminium. Iron expands and contracts more with temperature changes, causing powder coat to chip faster. Aluminium powder coating lasts 15+ years.
