Mild Steel Gates – Modern, Secure & Affordable Gates for HDB and BTO Flats
Your HDB or BTO main gate isn’t just a physical barrier — it’s the first impression of your home and the first line of security for your family. In Singapore, mild steel gates have become the top choice for homeowners who value strength, design versatility, and affordability.
We custom-fabricate mild steel gates that meet HDB regulations, enhance curb appeal, and provide lasting protection against daily wear and tropical weather. Whether you prefer a minimalist laser-cut pattern or a traditional lattice design, we ensure the right balance of style, safety, and budget.
Why Choose Mild Steel for Your HDB or BTO Gate
- Durability & Security – Mild steel is a robust material that offers superior resistance against impact and intrusion.
- Design Flexibility – It can be cut, welded, and shaped into intricate modern or classic motifs to match your home’s aesthetics.
- Budget-Friendly Option – Compared to wrought iron or stainless steel, mild steel gates are more cost-effective while offering comparable strength.
- Powder-Coated Protection – With quality powder coating, mild steel gates resist rust and corrosion even under Singapore’s humid climate.
- HDB & BTO Compliance – All our gates adhere to standard dimensions and safety clearance guidelines set by the Housing & Development Board (HDB).
Mild Steel Gate Designs — From Classic to Contemporary
Singapore homeowners are increasingly seeking personalised gates that complement their interiors. Our in-house fabrication team offers a wide range of mild steel gate designs suitable for HDB, BTO, and condominium entrances.
1. Horizontal & Vertical Bar Gates
Sleek and minimalist, these are popular with new BTO homeowners. They maximise visibility and airflow while maintaining a clean façade.
2. Mesh-Panel & Perforated Gates
Great for privacy without sacrificing ventilation. The fine mesh pattern helps block small debris and adds a modern industrial look.
3. Laser-Cut Designer Gates
For those who want to stand out — precision-cut patterns such as geometric motifs, floral elements, or even name initials can be incorporated.
4. Solid Panel Gates with Accents
Perfect for ground-floor flats or units facing walkways. These offer additional privacy and can be paired with glass or wooden inserts for aesthetic contrast.
Each gate is custom-made to order, ensuring exact alignment with your main door frame, intercom panel, and unit width.
Powder Coating & Colour Options
Mild steel gates can be finished in a variety of colours and textures using electrostatic powder coating, which protects the surface from rust and fading.
Popular choices among HDB homeowners include:
- Matte Black: Timeless and elegant, ideal for minimalist interiors.
- Charcoal Grey: Industrial-chic finish popular in new BTO estates.
- White / Cream: Blends seamlessly with Scandinavian or Muji-style décor.
- Bronze or Gold: Adds a luxurious accent for those seeking distinction.
Custom colours and textured finishes are also available upon request.
