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
- Welded steel frame with vertical bars or a grid
- Anti-tamper bolts or resin anchors into masonry
- Internal or external fixing
- No lock to maintain
- Galvanised, powder-coated or both for external use
- Decorative bar patterns available for visible elevations

What to think about first
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.
Consents and safety: Northern Ireland
Listed buildings and conservation areas
Listed buildings in Northern Ireland need listed building consent for works affecting their character, with the council deciding and the Department for Communities' Historic Environment Division advising. Conservation areas bring extra scrutiny of external changes.
Bedroom and escape windows
Fire safety in new building work in Northern Ireland is covered by the Building Regulations (Northern Ireland) 2012 and Technical Booklet E. Where a room relies on a window for escape, nothing fitted over it should stop it being used. We only fit grilles over escape windows with a keyless internal release.

Fixed window grilles and bars in Irvinestown: questions
Which areas near Irvinestown do you cover?
We can arrange work in Irvinestown and in nearby Enniskillen (9 miles), Omagh (16 miles) and Lisnaskea (17 miles). Dates depend on installer availability.
Can fixed grilles be removed later?
Yes, by unbolting them from inside, though anti-tamper fixings are deliberately awkward to remove.
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 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.
