- White, black or anthracite to match frames
- Locks keyed alike across the house if you prefer
- Works with sash, casement, tilt-and-turn and bay windows

Which openings first
Start with the most hidden and easiest openings, usually at the back and side.
Consents and safety: England
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.
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.

Home security grilles in Darwen: questions
Which areas near Darwen do you cover?
We can arrange work in Darwen and in nearby Blackburn (4 miles), Accrington (6 miles) and Chorley (7 miles). Dates depend on installer availability.
Can grilles be fitted in a rented home?
Tenants need the landlord's permission. Landlords should make sure escape routes stay usable for tenants.
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.
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.
