Retractable security grilles in Lurgan

How much should I budget for retractable security grilles in Lurgan?

As a guide, retractable security grilles in Lurgan cost £414 to £1,554 including VAT (£345 to £1,295 plus VAT) per opening, supplied and fitted. The exact figure depends on size, type, finish and locking, and is confirmed in writing after the free survey.

A retractable security grille is a steel or aluminium lattice of vertical bars joined by scissor links that runs in a top and bottom track. Drawn across a window or door it forms a locked barrier; slid back, it folds into a narrow stack at the side so the opening is fully usable.

What you can specify

Single, double or multi-leaf layouts for wide openings
White, black and anthracite as standard, other RAL colours to order
Galvanised or powder-coated steel, or aluminium for lighter duty
Folds into a stack typically around a sixth of the opening width
Quick-release internal handle available where a window must stay usable for escape
Top-hung or bottom-running versions to suit the floor or sill

What to think about first

Which side it folds to

The stack needs a clear wall or reveal to park against. We check curtains, handles, radiators and light switches before the grille is ordered.

Inside or outside the glass

Inside is the norm: it is protected from weather, keeps the street view unchanged and usually avoids planning issues. Outside fitting suits recessed doorways and openings with no internal depth.

Listed buildings and conservation areas

Listed buildings in Northern Ireland need listed building consent for works affecting their character, with the council deciding and the Department for Communities' Historic Environment Division advising. Conservation areas bring extra scrutiny of external changes.

External grilles and planning

Planning in Northern Ireland is handled by the eleven councils. External grilles and shutters on commercial buildings normally need planning permission, and councils generally prefer internal, see-through security in town centres.

Retractable security grilles in Lurgan: questions

Can you survey in Lurgan and nearby towns?

Yes. Surveys in Lurgan, Craigavon, Portadown and elsewhere in County Armagh are booked around installer availability.

How long does a retractable grille take to fit?

Most single windows or doors are fitted in an hour or two once the made-to-measure grille arrives. A shopfront or several openings may take a day.

Do retractable grilles need a bottom track?

Most do, because the bottom track stops the grille being pushed out of line. On doorways a low or recessed track can be used to reduce the trip hazard, and some top-hung designs work without one on smaller openings.

Will a grille stop me opening my windows?

No. An internal grille sits inside the reveal, so you can open the window as normal when the grille is folded back, and usually with it closed if there is enough depth between grille and glass.
