- Retractable lattice that folds fully clear of the opening
- Clear opening kept at or above the window's escape size
- No key or tool needed to open from inside

Planning and safety in 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.
Grilles in rented homes
Under the Renting Homes (Wales) Act 2016, landlords must keep dwellings fit for human habitation, which takes fire hazards into account. Grilles over windows a contract-holder may need for escape should open from inside without a key.

Escape window grilles (quick release) in Newport, Gwent: questions
Do you cover Risca as well as Newport, Gwent?
Yes. As well as Newport, Gwent, we can arrange surveys in nearby Risca, Cwmbran and Pontypool, and elsewhere in Gwent.
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.
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.
Can I lock a quick-release grille when I go away?
Some designs allow a key lock to be used as well, for when the house is empty. The release must always be usable when anyone is sleeping there.
