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 goes into a steel screen
- Light and ventilation through perforations
- Fixing to brick, block, timber or uPVC frames
- Anti-tamper fixings
- Supply-and-fit for purchase
- Schedules for portfolios of empty units
- Steel security door with a key or code lock

What to think about first
Access

Ventilation
Perforated screens help prevent damp in empty buildings.
Consents and safety: 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.
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; the insurer decides whether a product meets it.
