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.
Choices you can make
- Quick-release escape handle for bedroom and upstairs windows
- Works with uPVC, aluminium, timber and steel windows
- Made to measure for the reveal, including bays and splayed reveals
- Anti-tamper fixings into masonry or a fabricated subframe
- Lock positioned to clear window handles and restrictors
- Retractable, fixed or removable designs

- Rear windows facing alleys and gardens

- Offices and shops with side or rear windows
- Ground-floor and basement windows
What to think about first
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.
Consents and safety: England
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.
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.

Window security grilles in Enfield: questions
Do you cover Edmonton as well as Enfield?
Yes. As well as Enfield, we can arrange surveys in nearby Edmonton, Tottenham and Wood Green, and elsewhere in Greater London.
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.
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.
