An escape window grille is a retractable grille with a release on the inside that opens it without a key or tool. It secures a window against entry from outside while keeping the window usable as an emergency escape route from inside, which bedroom and upstairs windows often need to be.
What you can specify
- Retractable lattice that folds fully clear of the opening
- No key or tool needed to open from inside
- Release positioned at a sensible height
- Release positioned so it should not be reachable from outside
- White, black or anthracite finishes
- Clear opening kept at or above the window's escape size

Planning and safety in 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.
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.
How it works
- Tell us about the opening
- Survey and measuring
- Written quote and lead time

Escape window grilles (quick release) in Macclesfield: questions
Can you survey in Macclesfield and nearby towns?
Yes. Surveys in Macclesfield, Wilmslow, Congleton and elsewhere in Cheshire are booked around installer availability.
Could a burglar use the quick release?
It should not be possible from outside. The release is on the inside face and positioned so it is not reachable through the lattice from outside; we check this at fitting.
Do landlords need escape grilles?
Landlords must keep escape routes usable for tenants. A key-only grille over a bedroom escape window is a fire hazard, so a quick-release grille is the safer choice.
Can I have security grilles on bedroom windows?
Yes, as long as the grille opens from inside without a key or tool. That keeps the window usable as an escape route.
