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.
Choices you can make
- Anti-tamper bolts or resin anchors into masonry
- Internal or external fixing
- Welded steel frame with vertical bars or a grid
- Bar spacing chosen to stop entry while keeping light
- Galvanised, powder-coated or both for external use
- Made to measure for arched and odd-shaped openings

Getting the right fixed grille for your building
Appearance
On front elevations or period buildings a decorative or slimmer bar pattern may sit better than a plain grid.
Inside or outside
Inside fixing keeps the grille away from weather and tampering. Outside fixing suits windows with no internal access or depth.
What the rules say in 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 Chalfont St Peter: questions
Which areas near Chalfont St Peter do you cover?
We can arrange work in Chalfont St Peter and in nearby Gerrards Cross (2 miles), Rickmansworth (4 miles) and Amersham (5 miles). Dates depend on installer availability.
Can fixed bars go on a bedroom window?
Generally no. Bedroom and upstairs habitable room windows often need to work as escape windows, so they should have an openable grille with a keyless internal release.
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.
