Which is a particularly dangerous situation.

A better proposition from a Safety point of view is to place
Security Grills only where Fly Wire would otherwise be placed.
That should leave you with some glass to break for an emergency exit .

And by the way, 
when you decide to Instal grills make sure that  you have
Them  on each side of your house.
That is, you need at least one grill on each of the North, South East & West
sides.

For best ventilation you always need an outlet on the opposite side of the
house to where the Inlet is

So if the natural breeze is from the East, to get the best effect make sure
you also open a window on the West side of the house.

This might seem to be a natural action but I know there are a lot of us that
"forget " to open that other window.

Cheers, and keep cool
