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

Anti-tamper fixings into masonry or a fabricated subframe
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
Fitted inside the glass by default; external options for recessed or plain openings
Retractable, fixed or removable designs

Fitting in Newmarket and nearby

Surveys in Newmarket (CB8) are booked around installer availability. We also cover nearby Haverhill (11 miles), Cambridge (13 miles) and Bury St Edmunds (13 miles).

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

Where window security grilles are most often used:

Offices and shops with side or rear windows
Flats with windows onto shared walkways
Ground-floor and basement windows
Outbuildings, workshops and garages with glazing

What to think about first

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.

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.

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 Newmarket: questions

Which areas near Newmarket do you cover?

We can arrange work in Newmarket and in nearby Haverhill (11 miles), Cambridge (13 miles) and Bury St Edmunds (13 miles). Dates depend on installer availability.

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.

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.

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.
