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
- Locks keyed alike across the house if you prefer
- White, black or anthracite to match frames
- Quick-release escape handles for bedrooms and upstairs rooms
- Works with sash, casement, tilt-and-turn and bay windows
- Fitting arranged around your day, with dust sheets and tidy-up
- Internal fitting so the outside of the home is unchanged

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 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 Market Harborough: questions
Can you survey in Market Harborough and nearby towns?
Yes. Surveys in Market Harborough, Corby, Kettering and elsewhere in Leicestershire are booked around installer availability.
Are grilles safe if there is a fire?
Yes, provided any window needed for escape has a grille with a keyless internal release. We will not fit a key-only grille over an escape window.
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 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.
