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.

Fitting in Newtown and nearby

We arrange surveys and fitting across Newtown and the SY16 postcode district, and in nearby Welshpool (12 miles), Llandrindod Wells (19 miles) and Aberystwyth.

Powys is the most rural part of Wales, with stone-built market towns such as Brecon, Newtown and Llandrindod Wells and many remote properties.

Typical places for this kind of grille include:

Offices and shops with side or rear windows
Ground-floor and basement windows
Rear windows facing alleys and gardens
Flats with windows onto shared walkways

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.

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.

Rules that apply in Wales

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.

Bedroom and escape windows

Wales has its own Approved Documents under the Building Regulations. Approved Document B for Wales sets out escape window provisions for dwellings broadly in line with England's, including minimum opening sizes. We only fit grilles over escape windows with a keyless internal release.

Window security grilles in Newtown: questions

Do you cover Welshpool as well as Newtown?

Yes. As well as Newtown, we can arrange surveys in nearby Welshpool, Llandrindod Wells and Aberystwyth, and elsewhere in Powys.

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.
