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

Fitted inside the glass by default; external options for recessed or plain openings
Lock positioned to clear window handles and restrictors
Made to measure for the reveal, including bays and splayed reveals
Works with uPVC, aluminium, timber and steel windows
Anti-tamper fixings into masonry or a fabricated subframe
Quick-release escape handle for bedroom and upstairs windows

Outbuildings, workshops and garages with glazing
Ground-floor and basement windows
Rear windows facing alleys and gardens
Offices and shops with side or rear windows

What to think about first

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.

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.

Grilles inside the glass

A grille fitted inside the glass does not normally need planning permission, because it does not materially change how the building looks from outside. If the building is listed, listed building consent may still be needed.

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 Blackpool: questions

Do you cover Thornton-Cleveleys as well as Blackpool?

Yes. As well as Blackpool, we can arrange surveys in nearby Thornton-Cleveleys, Lytham St Annes and Fleetwood, and elsewhere in Lancashire.

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.

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.

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.
