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

Keyless internal lever or push-button release
Clear opening kept at or above the window's escape size
Release positioned so it should not be reachable from outside
Retractable lattice that folds fully clear of the opening
White, black or anthracite finishes
Can be keyed alike with other grilles for daytime locking

Things to decide before you order

Clear opening

The folded grille must not reduce the window's clear opening below what escape requires.

Release position

Easy to find and operate in the dark, but not something a passer-by can reach.

Rules that apply in England

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.

Escape window grilles (quick release) in Rutland: questions

Which towns in Rutland do you cover?

We can arrange work anywhere in Rutland, including Oakham and Uppingham.

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.

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.

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.
