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.

What goes into a fixed grille

Welded steel frame with vertical bars or a grid
Anti-tamper bolts or resin anchors into masonry
Made to measure for arched and odd-shaped openings
Decorative bar patterns available for visible elevations
No lock to maintain
Galvanised, powder-coated or both for external use

Fitting in Elgin and nearby

Surveys in Elgin (IV30) are booked around installer availability. We also cover nearby Nairn (21 miles), Inverness (36 miles) and Aviemore (37 miles).

North-east Scotland is known for granite tenements and houses in Aberdeen, fishing towns along the coast and stone-built market towns inland.

This type of grille suits:

Commercial back elevations
Basement and cellar windows
Outbuildings and workshops
Toilet and utility windows

Questions we will ask at the survey

Appearance

On front elevations or period buildings a decorative or slimmer bar pattern may sit better than a plain grid.

Never needed for escape

A fixed grille should only go on a window that is not needed as an escape route. Bedrooms and upstairs habitable rooms usually need an openable alternative.

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.

Listed buildings and conservation areas

Listed buildings in Scotland need listed building consent for works affecting their character, decided by the council, with Historic Environment Scotland consulted on some cases. Conservation areas bring extra scrutiny of external changes. Check with the council before ordering.

Fixed window grilles and bars in Elgin: questions

Can you survey in Elgin and nearby towns?

Yes. Surveys in Elgin, Nairn, Inverness and elsewhere in Aberdeen, Aberdeenshire and Moray are booked around installer availability.

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.

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.

Can fixed grilles be removed later?

Yes, by unbolting them from inside, though anti-tamper fixings are deliberately awkward to remove.
