Window security grilles in Dumfries

What is the price of window security grilles in Dumfries?

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 goes into a window grille

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

Fitting in Dumfries and nearby

We can arrange window security grilles across Dumfries, the main centre for Dumfries and Galloway, and in nearby towns including Lockerbie, Annan and Castle Douglas.

Dumfries and Galloway is rural south-west Scotland, with sandstone towns such as Dumfries and Annan and the ferry port of Stranraer.

This type of grille suits:

Offices and shops with side or rear windows
Flats with windows onto shared walkways
Rear windows facing alleys and gardens
Outbuildings, workshops and garages with glazing

Questions we will ask at the survey

Depth in the reveal

Tracks need a few centimetres of flat reveal. Where the frame sits flush with the wall, the grille can be fixed to a slim subframe instead.

Colour

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

Planning and safety 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 inside the glass

A grille fitted inside the glass does not normally need planning permission in Scotland, as it does not materially change the outside of the building. If the building is listed, listed building consent may still be needed.

Window 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.

Will a grille damage my window frame?

No. Grilles fix to the wall reveal or a subframe, not to the window itself, so the frame and its warranty are unaffected.

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.

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.
