Northumberland is largely rural, with stone-built market towns such as Hexham and Alnwick and terraced former mining towns in the south-east.

Where window security grilles are most often used:

Outbuildings, workshops and garages with glazing
Rear windows facing alleys and gardens
Flats with windows onto shared walkways
Offices and shops with side or rear windows

What to think about first

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.

Colour

White disappears against white frames, while black or anthracite suits darker frames and period sash windows.

Grilles in rented homes

Landlords in England must keep rented homes free from serious hazards under the Housing Health and Safety Rating System, which includes fire. A grille that stops a tenant using an escape window can create a hazard, so grilles in rented homes should have keyless internal releases.

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.

Window security grilles in Blyth: questions

Can you survey in Blyth and nearby towns?

Yes. Surveys in Blyth, Ashington, Cramlington and elsewhere in Northumberland are booked around installer availability.

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.

Should window grilles go inside or outside?

Inside in most cases. Internal grilles avoid weathering, are harder to attack, keep the outside of the building unchanged and rarely need planning permission. External grilles suit openings with no internal depth.

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.
