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

No lock to maintain
Welded steel frame with vertical bars or a grid
Bar spacing chosen to stop entry while keeping light
Internal or external fixing
Galvanised, powder-coated or both for external use
Made to measure for arched and odd-shaped openings

Fitting in Oban and nearby

Surveys in Oban (PA34) are booked around installer availability, as they are in nearby Fort William (31 miles) and Dunoon (38 miles).

Argyll and Bute is largely coastal and rural, with Oban, Dunoon, Helensburgh and Campbeltown as the main towns and many island properties.

Typical places for this kind of grille include:

Toilet and utility windows
Commercial back elevations
Outbuildings and workshops
Rear storerooms and plant rooms

Things to decide before you order

Finish

External grilles last longest when hot-dip galvanised and then powder-coated.

Inside or outside

Inside fixing keeps the grille away from weather and tampering. Outside fixing suits windows with no internal access or depth.

Rules that apply in Scotland

Scotland

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.

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.

Fixed window grilles and bars in Oban: questions

Can you survey in Oban and nearby towns?

Yes. Surveys in Oban, Fort William, Dunoon and elsewhere in Argyll and Bute are booked around installer availability.

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.

Do fixed grilles need planning permission?

Internal fixed grilles usually do not. External grilles on front elevations, listed buildings or in conservation areas may need consent, so we check before ordering.

Can fixed grilles be removed later?

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