Choices you can make
- Quick-release escape handle for bedroom and upstairs windows
- Lock positioned to clear window handles and restrictors
- Fitted inside the glass by default; external options for recessed or plain openings
- Anti-tamper fixings into masonry or a fabricated subframe
- Works with uPVC, aluminium, timber and steel windows
- Retractable, fixed or removable designs

What to think about first
Colour
White disappears against white frames, while black or anthracite suits darker frames and period sash windows.
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.
Consents and safety: England
Listed buildings and conservation areas
Listed buildings need listed building consent for works that affect their character, which can include internal grilles and their fixings. In conservation areas, councils look closely at anything fitted to the outside. We recommend speaking to the council's conservation officer before ordering.
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 Sutton Coldfield: questions
Can you survey in Sutton Coldfield and nearby towns?
Yes. Surveys in Sutton Coldfield, Aldridge, Birmingham and elsewhere in West Midlands are booked around installer availability.
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.
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.
