A removable security grille is a rigid steel panel that sits in locked brackets fixed to the window reveal. Unlocked, it lifts out entirely, leaving the window clear for cleaning, views or escape; locked in, it is as strong as a fixed grille.

Specification at a glance

Brackets that are discreet when the panel is stored
Rigid welded panel in steel
Internal fixing so brackets cannot be reached from outside

White, black, anthracite or RAL finishes
Split panels for large windows so each is manageable

Fitting in Barnard Castle and nearby

Whether you are in central Barnard Castle or at the edge of the DL12 district, we can arrange a survey. Nearby Bishop Auckland and Darlington are covered too.

County Durham's stock is dominated by brick terraces in former colliery towns, alongside the listed historic core of Durham city and Teesside's commercial centres.

Typical places for this kind of grille include:

Listed interiors where tracks are unwelcome
Offices empty at weekends
Windows needed for cleaning or access
Holiday homes and second homes

Things to decide before you order

Where it is stored

Plan where the panel lives when it is out, because a grille propped behind a door is easily damaged.

Locking

Choose keyed pins for everyday use, or padlock hasps if you prefer to use your own padlocks.

Rules that apply in England

England

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.

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.

Removable security grilles in Barnard Castle: questions

Do you cover Bishop Auckland as well as Barnard Castle?

Yes. As well as Barnard Castle, we can arrange surveys in nearby Bishop Auckland, Darlington and Newton Aycliffe, and elsewhere in Durham.

How heavy is a removable grille panel?

It depends on size and bar section. We aim to keep each panel light enough for one person to lift, splitting large windows into two panels.

Can removable grilles be locked from outside?

They are designed to be locked and removed from inside only, so nobody outside can lift them out.

Are removable grilles suitable for listed buildings?

Often, because the only permanent fixings are small brackets. Listed building consent may still be needed, so check with your council first.
