Home security grilles are made-to-measure grilles for the windows and doors of houses and flats, usually retractable and fitted inside the glass. Folded back during the day they are barely noticeable; drawn across at night or when you are away, they stop entry through broken glass.
What you can specify
- White, black or anthracite to match frames
- Free survey before any price is fixed
- Fitting arranged around your day, with dust sheets and tidy-up
- Internal fitting so the outside of the home is unchanged
- Quick-release escape handles for bedrooms and upstairs rooms
- Low-profile tracks for doors and patio openings

What to think about first
Which openings first
Start with the most hidden and easiest openings, usually at the back and side.
Escape from bedrooms
Grilles over bedroom and upstairs windows need a release that opens from inside without a key.
Consents and safety: England
Listed buildings and conservation areas
Listed buildings need listed building consent for works that affect their character, which can include internal grilles and their fixings. In conservation areas, councils look closely at anything fitted to the outside. We recommend speaking to the council's conservation officer before ordering.
Grilles in rented homes
Landlords in England must keep rented homes free from serious hazards under the Housing Health and Safety Rating System, which includes fire. A grille that stops a tenant using an escape window can create a hazard, so grilles in rented homes should have keyless internal releases.

Home security grilles in Derby: questions
Do you cover Belper as well as Derby?
Yes. As well as Derby, we can arrange surveys in nearby Belper, Ilkeston and Heanor, and elsewhere in Derbyshire.
Do home security grilles look like prison bars?
Not when they are fitted inside the glass in a matching colour. Folded back, a grille is a slim stack at the side of the window.
Will grilles affect my home insurance?
Some insurers ask about security measures. Tell your insurer about any changes; they decide whether it affects your policy.
Do I need planning permission for grilles on my house?
Internal grilles usually do not need planning permission. External grilles, listed homes and homes in conservation areas may need consent, so we check first.
