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

Clear opening kept at or above the window's escape size
Retractable lattice that folds fully clear of the opening
White, black or anthracite finishes
Keyless internal lever or push-button release
No key or tool needed to open from inside
Release positioned at a sensible height

Things to decide before you order

Clear opening

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

Rules that apply in England

England

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.

Escape window grilles (quick release) in Taunton: questions

Can you survey in Taunton and nearby towns?

Yes. Surveys in Taunton, Bridgwater, Burnham-on-Sea and elsewhere in Somerset are booked around installer availability.

How does a quick-release grille work?

A lever or push release on the inside of the lock box unlatches the grille so it can be slid open in one movement, with no key needed.

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.

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.
