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
- Powder-coated in white, black or anthracite to sit with the frame colour
- Lock positioned to clear window handles and restrictors
- Quick-release escape handle for bedroom and upstairs windows
- Fitted inside the glass by default; external options for recessed or plain openings
- Retractable, fixed or removable designs
- Works with uPVC, aluminium, timber and steel 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.
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.
Consents and safety: Wales
Grilles inside the glass
A grille fitted inside the glass does not normally need planning permission in Wales, as it does not materially change the outside of the building. If the building is listed, listed building consent may still be needed.
Grilles in rented homes
Under the Renting Homes (Wales) Act 2016, landlords must keep dwellings fit for human habitation, which takes fire hazards into account. Grilles over windows a contract-holder may need for escape should open from inside without a key.

Window security grilles in Abergavenny: questions
Do you cover Pontypool as well as Abergavenny?
Yes. As well as Abergavenny, we can arrange surveys in nearby Pontypool, Ebbw Vale and Cwmbran, and elsewhere in Gwent.
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.
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.
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.
