A window security grille is a steel barrier fitted across a window so that breaking the glass no longer gives a way in. It can be retractable, fixed or removable, and is most often fitted inside the reveal where it is protected and barely noticed from outside.

What you can specify

Quick-release escape handle for bedroom and upstairs windows
Fitted inside the glass by default; external options for recessed or plain openings
Made to measure for the reveal, including bays and splayed reveals
Lock positioned to clear window handles and restrictors
Anti-tamper fixings into masonry or a fabricated subframe
Works with uPVC, aluminium, timber and steel windows

Outbuildings, workshops and garages with glazing
Rear windows facing alleys and gardens
Ground-floor and basement windows
Offices and shops with side or rear windows

Things to decide before you order

Colour

White disappears against white frames, while black or anthracite suits darker frames and period sash windows.

Retractable, fixed or removable

Match the grille to how often the window opens. Daily-use windows suit retractable; never-opened windows suit fixed; occasional windows suit removable.

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.

Listed buildings and conservation areas

Listed buildings need listed building consent for works that affect their character, which can include internal grilles and their fixings. In conservation areas, councils look closely at anything fitted to the outside. We recommend speaking to the council's conservation officer before ordering.

Window security grilles in Ripley: questions

Do you cover Heanor as well as Ripley?

Yes. As well as Ripley, we can arrange surveys in nearby Heanor, Belper and Alfreton, and elsewhere in Derbyshire.

Should window grilles go inside or outside?

Inside in most cases. Internal grilles avoid weathering, are harder to attack, keep the outside of the building unchanged and rarely need planning permission. External grilles suit openings with no internal depth.

Are window grilles safe in a bedroom?

They can be, provided the grille has a release that opens from inside without a key. Bedroom and upstairs windows often have to serve as escape routes, so we will not fit a key-only grille over a window you need for escape.

Do grilles work on bay windows?

Yes. A bay is usually treated as separate grilles for each face, or one grille following the bay on a curved or angled track.
