Retractable security grilles in Aberystwyth

How much do retractable security grilles cost in Aberystwyth?

Budget £414 to £1,554 including VAT (£345 to £1,295 plus VAT) per opening for retractable security grilles in Aberystwyth, supplied and fitted. Size, number of leaves, colour and access all move the price, which is fixed in writing after the 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.

Choices you can make

Top-hung or bottom-running versions to suit the floor or sill
Single, double or multi-leaf layouts for wide openings
Quick-release internal handle available where a window must stay usable for escape
White, black and anthracite as standard, other RAL colours to order
Galvanised or powder-coated steel, or aluminium for lighter duty
Vertical bars with diagonal scissor links that lock rigid when closed

Office receptions and glazed partitions
Back doors, French doors and patio doors
Shop windows and glazed shop entrances
Ground-floor windows of homes and flats

Things to decide before you order

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.

Bottom track or no bottom track

A bottom track gives the most rigid grille but can be a trip point across a doorway. Low-profile and removable floor tracks are available for doors.

Rules that apply in Wales

Wales

Grilles inside the glass

A grille fitted inside the glass does not normally need planning permission in Wales, as it does not materially change the outside of the building. If the building is listed, listed building consent may still be needed.

Listed buildings and conservation areas

Listed buildings in Wales need listed building consent for works affecting their character, decided by the local planning authority with Cadw's involvement where required. Conservation areas bring extra scrutiny of external changes. Check with the council before ordering.

Retractable security grilles in Aberystwyth: questions

Can you survey in Aberystwyth and nearby towns?

Yes. Surveys in Aberystwyth, Llandrindod Wells, Newtown and elsewhere in Dyfed are booked around installer availability.

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.

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.

Can a retractable grille be fitted inside the window?

Yes, and that is how most are fitted. The tracks fix into the window reveal or to a timber or steel subframe, so the grille sits between the glass and the room.
