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
- Welded steel frame with vertical bars or a grid
- Anti-tamper bolts or resin anchors into masonry
- Made to measure for arched and odd-shaped openings
- Bar spacing chosen to stop entry while keeping light
- No lock to maintain
- Decorative bar patterns available for visible elevations
Fitting in Deeside and nearby

North-east Wales mixes Wrexham's terraces and retail centres with Victorian seaside towns such as Llandudno, Rhyl and Colwyn Bay.

- Toilet and utility windows
- Outbuildings and workshops
- Commercial back elevations
- Basement and cellar windows
Things to decide before you order
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.
Appearance
On front elevations or period buildings a decorative or slimmer bar pattern may sit better than a plain grid.
Rules that apply in Wales
Bedroom and escape windows
Wales has its own Approved Documents under the Building Regulations. Approved Document B for Wales sets out escape window provisions for dwellings broadly in line with England's, including minimum opening sizes. We only fit grilles over escape windows with a keyless internal release.
External grilles and planning
External grilles and shutters on commercial buildings normally need planning permission from the local planning authority. Welsh councils' shopfront and design guidance generally favours internal, see-through security over solid external shutters.

Fixed window grilles and bars in Deeside: questions
Which areas near Deeside do you cover?
We can arrange work in Deeside and in nearby Hawarden (1 mile), Buckley (3 miles) and Mold (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.
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.
