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

No lock to maintain
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
Galvanised, powder-coated or both for external use
Bar spacing chosen to stop entry while keeping light

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.

Listed buildings and conservation areas

Listed buildings need listed building consent for works that affect their character, which can include internal grilles and their fixings. In conservation areas, councils look closely at anything fitted to the outside. We recommend speaking to the council's conservation officer before ordering.

Fixed window grilles and bars in Chesterfield: questions

Do you cover Staveley as well as Chesterfield?

Yes. As well as Chesterfield, we can arrange surveys in nearby Staveley, Dronfield and Sheffield, and elsewhere in Derbyshire.

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.

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.
