Home security grilles are made-to-measure grilles for the windows and doors of houses and flats, usually retractable and fitted inside the glass. Folded back during the day they are barely noticeable; drawn across at night or when you are away, they stop entry through broken glass.

Locks keyed alike across the house if you prefer
Works with sash, casement, tilt-and-turn and bay windows

Getting the right home grille for your building

Escape from bedrooms

Grilles over bedroom and upstairs windows need a release that opens from inside without a key.

Look

Match the grille colour to your window frames and it will almost disappear.

What the rules say in Scotland

Scotland

Bedroom and escape windows

In Scotland, escape from homes is covered by the Building Standards technical handbooks (section 2, fire). Where a room relies on a window for escape, nothing fitted over it should stop it being used. We only fit grilles over escape windows with a keyless internal release.

Grilles in rented homes

Private landlords in Scotland must meet the repairing standard, which includes fire safety provisions. Grilles over windows a tenant may need for escape should open from inside without a key.

Home security grilles in Dumfries: questions

Which areas near Dumfries do you cover?

We can arrange work in Dumfries and in nearby Lockerbie (11 miles), Annan (15 miles) and Castle Douglas (15 miles). Dates depend on installer availability.

Do I need planning permission for grilles on my house?

Internal grilles usually do not need planning permission. External grilles, listed homes and homes in conservation areas may need consent, so we check first.

Will grilles affect my home insurance?

Some insurers ask about security measures. Tell your insurer about any changes; they decide whether it affects your policy.

Can grilles be fitted in a rented home?

Tenants need the landlord's permission. Landlords should make sure escape routes stay usable for tenants.
