What it is
A fire-escape screen, also called a quick-escape or egress screen, is a security screen that opens from the inside. From outside it behaves like a fixed screen: there is nothing to grab or lever.
It exists for one reason. A security screen should never stop your family getting out in an emergency.
Good for
- Bedrooms, and any room someone sleeps in.
- Rooms with only one door and a long way to an exit.
- Children's rooms, where you want the window open on warm nights.
How it is built
A release only you can reach.
- 316 marine-grade stainless steel mesh, woven and powder coated. It will not rust or warp.
- A patented clamp grips the mesh inside a heavy-duty aluminum frame (per Majestec).
- A quick-release bar on the inside opens the screen (per Majestec).
- The same mechanism locks the screen shut against tampering from outside (per Majestec).
- It can be made to open from the left, the right or the bottom (per Majestec).

Common questions
Which windows need a fire-escape screen?
As a rule: any window in a room where someone sleeps. Roman will walk through the house with you and mark which windows need one. Read our fire-escape guide.
Can a child open it?
The release is designed to be simple. Ask Roman to show you, and have everyone who sleeps in the room try it once.
Can it be opened from outside?
No. The release is on the inside only.
How do I get a price?
