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.
What you can specify
- Brackets that are discreet when the panel is stored
- Storage hooks or wall clips available
- Keyed or padlockable bracket pins
- Internal fixing so brackets cannot be reached from outside
- White, black, anthracite or RAL finishes
- Lifts out completely for a clear window

What to think about first
Panel weight
Steel panels are heavy. We size and split them so one person can lift each panel safely.
Where it is stored
Plan where the panel lives when it is out, because a grille propped behind a door is easily damaged.
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 Newcastle upon Tyne: questions
Do you cover Gateshead as well as Newcastle upon Tyne?
Yes. As well as Newcastle upon Tyne, we can arrange surveys in nearby Gateshead, Felling and Wallsend, and elsewhere in Tyne and Wear.
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.
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.
