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.

Made to measure for the reveal, including bays and splayed reveals
Lock positioned to clear window handles and restrictors
Works with uPVC, aluminium, timber and steel windows
Powder-coated in white, black or anthracite to sit with the frame colour
Retractable, fixed or removable designs

Offices and shops with side or rear windows

Rear windows facing alleys and gardens
Ground-floor and basement 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.

Colour

White disappears against white frames, while black or anthracite suits darker frames and period sash windows.

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.

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.

Window security grilles in Newton-le-Willows: questions

Do you cover Golborne as well as Newton-le-Willows?

Yes. As well as Newton-le-Willows, we can arrange surveys in nearby Golborne, Ashton-in-Makerfield and Warrington, and elsewhere in Merseyside.

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.

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.
