Vacant property grilles and screens are steel panels or grilles fixed over the windows and doors of an empty building to stop break-ins, squatting, fly-tipping and vandalism. Perforated steel screens let light and air in while keeping people out, and come down cleanly when the building is reoccupied.
What you can specify
- Steel security door with a key or code lock
- Schedules for portfolios of empty units
- Removal and making good at reoccupation
- Perforated steel window screens
- Light and ventilation through perforations

What to think about first
Insurance
Unoccupied buildings often have insurer conditions; check them before the building is left.
How long it will be empty
For short voids, screens are quick to put up and take down.
Consents and safety: Scotland
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.
Insurer requirements
Insurers set their own conditions for business premises, stock and cash. If your policy names a type or rating of grille, get the wording in writing before ordering.
