Getting the right window grille for your building

Escape requirements

If the window is a designated escape window, the grille must open from inside without a key or tool. We fit quick-release locks for these.

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.

What the rules say 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.

Bedroom and escape windows

Approved Document B (fire safety) expects many habitable rooms in houses, especially first-floor rooms, to have an emergency escape window with an unobstructed opening of at least 0.33 m², at least 450 mm high and 450 mm wide, with the bottom of the opening no more than 1,100 mm above the floor. We only fit grilles over escape windows with a release that opens from inside without a key.

Window security grilles in Newton Aycliffe: questions

Can you survey in Newton Aycliffe and nearby towns?

Yes. Surveys in Newton Aycliffe, Bishop Auckland, Darlington and elsewhere in Durham are booked around installer availability.

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.

Can I still open the window with a grille fitted?

With a retractable or removable grille, yes. Many fixed internal grilles also leave room to open the sash or casement behind them.

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.
