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 you can specify

Welded steel frame with vertical bars or a grid
Bar spacing chosen to stop entry while keeping light
Made to measure for arched and odd-shaped openings
Decorative bar patterns available for visible elevations
Anti-tamper bolts or resin anchors into masonry
Galvanised, powder-coated or both for external use

Fitting in Windsor and nearby

We arrange surveys and fitting in Windsor and across the SL4 postcode district, as well as in nearby Slough (2 miles) and Egham (4 miles). Dates depend on installer availability.

Berkshire mixes Victorian and Edwardian terraces in Reading, commuter semis along the Thames Valley and modern business parks around Slough and Bracknell.

Typical places for this kind of grille include:

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

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 England

England

Bedroom and escape windows

Approved Document B (fire safety) expects many habitable rooms in houses, especially first-floor rooms, to have an emergency escape window with an unobstructed opening of at least 0.33 m², at least 450 mm high and 450 mm wide, with the bottom of the opening no more than 1,100 mm above the floor. We only fit grilles over escape windows with a release that opens from inside without a key.

External grilles and planning

External grilles and shutters on shops and other commercial buildings normally need planning permission from the local council because they change the building's appearance. Many councils' shopfront guides favour internal, open-lattice grilles, particularly in conservation areas.

Fixed window grilles and bars in Windsor: questions

Do you cover Slough as well as Windsor?

Yes. As well as Windsor, we can arrange surveys in nearby Slough, Egham and Staines-upon-Thames, and elsewhere in Berkshire.

Can fixed grilles be removed later?

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

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.

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.
