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
- 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
- Bar spacing chosen to stop entry while keeping light
- Welded steel frame with vertical bars or a grid

Things to decide before you order
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.
Rules that apply in 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 Saltcoats: questions
Which areas near Saltcoats do you cover?
We can arrange work in Saltcoats and in nearby Irvine (5 miles), Troon (8 miles) and Largs (11 miles). Dates depend on installer availability.
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.
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.
Can fixed grilles be removed later?
Yes, by unbolting them from inside, though anti-tamper fixings are deliberately awkward to remove.
