Window security grilles in Portadown: what will it cost?

A window security grille is a steel barrier fitted across a window so that breaking the glass no longer gives a way in. It can be retractable, fixed or removable, and is most often fitted inside the reveal where it is protected and barely noticed from outside.

Getting the right window grille for your building
Colour
White disappears against white frames, while black or anthracite suits darker frames and period sash windows.
Depth in the reveal
Tracks need a few centimetres of flat reveal. Where the frame sits flush with the wall, the grille can be fixed to a slim subframe instead.
What the rules say in Northern Ireland
Bedroom and escape windows
Fire safety in new building work in Northern Ireland is covered by the Building Regulations (Northern Ireland) 2012 and Technical Booklet E. Where a room relies on a window for escape, nothing fitted over it should stop it being used. We only fit grilles over escape windows with a keyless internal release.
Grilles inside the glass
A grille fitted inside the glass does not normally need planning permission in Northern Ireland, as it does not materially change the outside of the building. If the building is listed, listed building consent may still be needed.

Window security grilles in Portadown: questions
Which areas near Portadown do you cover?
We can arrange work in Portadown and in nearby Craigavon (3 miles), Lurgan (5 miles) and Banbridge (9 miles). Dates depend on installer availability.
Will a grille damage my window frame?
No. Grilles fix to the wall reveal or a subframe, not to the window itself, so the frame and its warranty are unaffected.
Are window grilles safe in a bedroom?
They can be, provided the grille has a release that opens from inside without a key. Bedroom and upstairs windows often have to serve as escape routes, so we will not fit a key-only grille over a window you need for escape.
Do grilles work on bay windows?
Yes. A bay is usually treated as separate grilles for each face, or one grille following the bay on a curved or angled track.
