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.

- Bar spacing chosen to stop entry while keeping light

What to think about first
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.
Finish
External grilles last longest when hot-dip galvanised and then powder-coated.
Consents and safety: 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.
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 Irvine: questions
Do you cover Saltcoats as well as Irvine?
Yes. As well as Irvine, we can arrange surveys in nearby Saltcoats, Troon and Kilmarnock, and elsewhere in Ayrshire.
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.
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.
