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.

Rear windows facing alleys and gardens
Outbuildings, workshops and garages with glazing
Ground-floor and basement windows
Flats with windows onto shared walkways

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.

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.

Rules that apply in Scotland

Scotland

Grilles in rented homes

Private landlords in Scotland must meet the repairing standard, which includes fire safety provisions. Grilles over windows a tenant may need for escape should open from inside without a key.

Listed buildings and conservation areas

Listed buildings in Scotland need listed building consent for works affecting their character, decided by the council, with Historic Environment Scotland consulted on some cases. Conservation areas bring extra scrutiny of external changes. Check with the council before ordering.

Window security grilles in Glasgow: questions

Do you cover Rutherglen as well as Glasgow?

Yes. As well as Glasgow, we can arrange surveys in nearby Rutherglen, Bishopbriggs and Bearsden, and elsewhere in Glasgow and Clyde.

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.

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.

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.
