A fixed window grille is a welded steel frame of bars bolted permanently over or inside a window. It has no moving parts and no lock to pick, which makes it the simplest and most economical grille for openings that are never used for access or escape.
Choices you can make
- Anti-tamper bolts or resin anchors into masonry
- Welded steel frame with vertical bars or a grid
- Internal or external fixing
- No lock to maintain
- Decorative bar patterns available for visible elevations

Things to decide before you order
Inside or outside
Inside fixing keeps the grille away from weather and tampering. Outside fixing suits windows with no internal access or depth.
Appearance
On front elevations or period buildings a decorative or slimmer bar pattern may sit better than a plain grid.
Rules that apply in Scotland
Bedroom and escape windows
In Scotland, escape from homes is covered by the Building Standards technical handbooks (section 2, fire). Where a room relies on a window for escape, nothing fitted over it should stop it being used. We only fit grilles over escape windows with a keyless internal release.
External grilles and planning
External grilles and shutters on commercial buildings normally need planning permission from the council under the Scottish planning system. Councils' shopfront guidance commonly prefers internal, open-mesh security, particularly in conservation areas and town centres.

Fixed window grilles and bars in Aberdeen, Aberdeenshire and Moray: questions
Which towns in Aberdeen, Aberdeenshire and Moray do you cover?
We can arrange work anywhere in Aberdeen, Aberdeenshire and Moray, including Aberdeen, Elgin, Fraserburgh, Inverurie and Peterhead, and in other towns across the area.
Can fixed grilles be removed later?
Yes, by unbolting them from inside, though anti-tamper fixings are deliberately awkward to remove.
How are fixed grilles attached?
With anti-tamper bolts or resin anchors into solid masonry, or to a steel subframe where the wall is weak. Fixings are positioned so they cannot be reached from outside.
Will fixed bars rust?
Galvanised and powder-coated steel is designed for years of outdoor use. Chips in the coating should be touched up to keep the protection intact.
