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

Anti-tamper fixings into masonry or a fabricated subframe
Made to measure for the reveal, including bays and splayed reveals
Powder-coated in white, black or anthracite to sit with the frame colour
Retractable, fixed or removable designs
Fitted inside the glass by default; external options for recessed or plain openings
Lock positioned to clear window handles and restrictors

Suffolk has timber-framed and listed buildings in its market towns, Ipswich's Victorian terraces and waterfront, and coastal towns such as Lowestoft.

Outbuildings, workshops and garages with glazing
Flats with windows onto shared walkways
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.

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.

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 Lowestoft: questions

Do you cover Great Yarmouth as well as Lowestoft?

Yes. As well as Lowestoft, we can arrange surveys in nearby Great Yarmouth, Norwich and Wymondham, and elsewhere in Suffolk.

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.

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.
