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
- Free survey before any price is fixed
- Locks keyed alike across the house if you prefer
- 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
- Low-profile tracks for doors and patio openings

What to think about first
Look
Match the grille colour to your window frames and it will almost disappear.
Escape from bedrooms
Grilles over bedroom and upstairs windows need a release that opens from inside without a key.
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.
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.

Home security grilles in Northumberland: questions
Which towns in Northumberland do you cover?
We can arrange work anywhere in Northumberland, including Blyth, Cramlington, Ashington, Alnwick and Berwick-upon-Tweed, and in other towns across the area.
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.
