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
- Powder-coated in white, black or anthracite to sit with the frame colour
- Works with uPVC, aluminium, timber and steel windows
- Anti-tamper fixings into masonry or a fabricated subframe
- Lock positioned to clear window handles and restrictors

Things to decide before you order
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.
Colour
White disappears against white frames, while black or anthracite suits darker frames and period sash windows.
Rules that apply in England
Grilles inside the glass
A grille fitted inside the glass does not normally need planning permission, because it does not materially change how the building looks from outside. If the building is listed, listed building consent may still be needed.
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 Clacton-on-Sea: questions
Do you cover Harwich as well as Clacton-on-Sea?
Yes. As well as Clacton-on-Sea, we can arrange surveys in nearby Harwich, Colchester and Felixstowe, and elsewhere in Essex.
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.
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.
