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.

- No lock to maintain

Fitting in Hawarden and nearby
Hawarden is about 10 miles from Wrexham, the main centre for Clwyd. We can survey and fit across the CH5 district and in nearby places such as Deeside and Buckley.

- Rear storerooms and plant rooms
- Basement and cellar windows
- Commercial back elevations
- Outbuildings and workshops
What to think about first
Finish
External grilles last longest when hot-dip galvanised and then powder-coated.
Appearance
On front elevations or period buildings a decorative or slimmer bar pattern may sit better than a plain grid.
Consents and safety: Wales
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.
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.

Fixed window grilles and bars in Hawarden: questions
Do you cover Deeside as well as Hawarden?
Yes. As well as Hawarden, we can arrange surveys in nearby Deeside, Buckley and Mold, and elsewhere in Clwyd.
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.
Can fixed grilles be removed later?
Yes, by unbolting them from inside, though anti-tamper fixings are deliberately awkward to remove.
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.
