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.

What the rules say in 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.

Are screens better than boarding?
Steel screens are stronger, harder to remove, let light in and generally look less neglected than timber boards.

Do screens damage the building?
Screens are fixed with anchors that leave small holes, which we make good when the screens come down.
