Window security grilles in Aberystwyth

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.

Works with uPVC, aluminium, timber and steel windows
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
Retractable, fixed or removable designs

Fitting in Aberystwyth and nearby

We arrange surveys and fitting in Aberystwyth and across the SY23 postcode district, as well as in nearby Llandrindod Wells (32 miles) and Newtown (33 miles). Dates depend on installer availability.

South-west Wales is largely rural, with stone and rendered terraces in towns such as Llanelli, Carmarthen and Haverfordwest and many holiday properties on the coast.

Common openings for window security grilles:

Flats with windows onto shared walkways
Offices and shops with side or rear windows
Outbuildings, workshops and garages with glazing
Ground-floor and basement windows

Getting the right window grille for your building

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.

Colour

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

What the rules say in Wales

Wales

Bedroom and escape windows

Wales has its own Approved Documents under the Building Regulations. Approved Document B for Wales sets out escape window provisions for dwellings broadly in line with England's, including minimum opening sizes. We only fit grilles over escape windows with a keyless internal release.

Listed buildings and conservation areas

Listed buildings in Wales need listed building consent for works affecting their character, decided by the local planning authority with Cadw's involvement where required. Conservation areas bring extra scrutiny of external changes. Check with the council before ordering.

Window security grilles in Aberystwyth: questions

Can you survey in Aberystwyth and nearby towns?

Yes. Surveys in Aberystwyth, Llandrindod Wells, Newtown and elsewhere in Dyfed are booked around installer availability.

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.

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.

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.
