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
Anti-tamper fixings into masonry or a fabricated subframe
Made to measure for the reveal, including bays and splayed reveals
Retractable, fixed or removable designs
Works with uPVC, aluminium, timber and steel windows
Fitted inside the glass by default; external options for recessed or plain openings

Fitting in Motherwell and nearby

We arrange surveys and fitting in Motherwell and across the ML1 postcode district, as well as in nearby Hamilton (2 miles) and Wishaw (3 miles). Dates depend on installer availability.

Lanarkshire mixes the new town of East Kilbride and Cumbernauld with older industrial towns such as Motherwell, Hamilton and Coatbridge.

Typical places for this kind of grille include:

Outbuildings, workshops and garages with glazing
Flats with windows onto shared walkways
Offices and shops with side or rear windows
Rear windows facing alleys and gardens

Things to decide before you order

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.

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

Bedroom and escape windows

In Scotland, escape from homes is covered by the Building Standards technical handbooks (section 2, fire). Where a room relies on a window for escape, nothing fitted over it should stop it being used. We only fit grilles over escape windows with a keyless internal release.

Grilles inside the glass

A grille fitted inside the glass does not normally need planning permission in Scotland, as it does not materially change the outside of the building. If the building is listed, listed building consent may still be needed.

Window security grilles in Motherwell: questions

Can you survey in Motherwell and nearby towns?

Yes. Surveys in Motherwell, Hamilton, Wishaw and elsewhere in Lanarkshire are booked around installer availability.

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.

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.
