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

Things to decide before you order
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.
Rules that apply in England
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 Oxfordshire: questions
Which towns in Oxfordshire do you cover?
We can arrange work anywhere in Oxfordshire, including Oxford, Banbury, Abingdon, Bicester and Didcot, and in other towns across the area.
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.
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.
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.
