Consents and safety: England
Grilles inside the glass
A grille fitted inside the glass does not normally need planning permission, because it does not materially change how the building looks from outside. If the building is listed, listed building consent may still be needed.
Bedroom and escape windows
Approved Document B (fire safety) expects many habitable rooms in houses, especially first-floor rooms, to have an emergency escape window with an unobstructed opening of at least 0.33 m², at least 450 mm high and 450 mm wide, with the bottom of the opening no more than 1,100 mm above the floor. We only fit grilles over escape windows with a release that opens from inside without a key.

Will the grille match my doors?
We powder-coat grilles in white, black, anthracite or a RAL colour close to your frames.

Usually a low-profile one, which keeps the grille rigid and is easy to step over.

Yes. Each leaf runs independently, so you can open one side and leave the other closed.
