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
- Lock positioned to clear window handles and restrictors
- Fitted inside the glass by default; external options for recessed or plain openings
- Anti-tamper fixings into masonry or a fabricated subframe
- Works with uPVC, aluminium, timber and steel windows
- Powder-coated in white, black or anthracite to sit with the frame colour
- Made to measure for the reveal, including bays and splayed reveals

What to think about first
Colour
White disappears against white frames, while black or anthracite suits darker frames and period sash windows.
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 Holyhead: questions
Do you cover Caernarfon as well as Holyhead?
Yes. As well as Holyhead, we can arrange surveys in nearby Caernarfon, Bangor and Pwllheli, and elsewhere in Gwynedd.
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.
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.
