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 you can specify

Works with uPVC, aluminium, timber and steel windows
Lock positioned to clear window handles and restrictors
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
Quick-release escape handle for bedroom and upstairs windows

Fitting in Wednesfield and nearby

We arrange surveys and fitting in Wednesfield and across the WV11 postcode district, as well as in nearby Willenhall (1 mile) and Wolverhampton (2 miles). Dates depend on installer availability.

The West Midlands is dominated by red-brick terraces and interwar semis, with dense high streets and a large stock of industrial and trade units.

Where window security grilles are most often used:

Offices and shops with side or rear windows
Rear windows facing alleys and gardens
Outbuildings, workshops and garages with glazing
Flats with windows onto shared walkways

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 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.

Bedroom and escape windows

Approved Document B (fire safety) expects many habitable rooms in houses, especially first-floor rooms, to have an emergency escape window with an unobstructed opening of at least 0.33 m², at least 450 mm high and 450 mm wide, with the bottom of the opening no more than 1,100 mm above the floor. We only fit grilles over escape windows with a release that opens from inside without a key.

Window security grilles in Wednesfield: questions

Do you cover Willenhall as well as Wednesfield?

Yes. As well as Wednesfield, we can arrange surveys in nearby Willenhall, Wolverhampton and Bloxwich, and elsewhere in West Midlands.

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.

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.
