- Listed interiors where tracks are unwelcome

What to think about first
Where it is stored
Plan where the panel lives when it is out, because a grille propped behind a door is easily damaged.
Panel weight
Steel panels are heavy. We size and split them so one person can lift each panel safely.
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.
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.

Removable security grilles in Welwyn Garden City: questions
Do you cover Hatfield as well as Welwyn Garden City?
Yes. As well as Welwyn Garden City, we can arrange surveys in nearby Hatfield, Hertford and St Albans, and elsewhere in Hertfordshire.
Can I fit the panel myself after it is installed?
Yes. Once the brackets are fitted, lifting the panel in and locking it is a simple job.
What is the difference between removable and retractable grilles?
A retractable grille folds to the side but stays in place; a removable grille comes out completely. Retractable suits daily use, removable suits occasional use.
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.
