Getting the right fixed grille for your building
Inside or outside
Inside fixing keeps the grille away from weather and tampering. Outside fixing suits windows with no internal access or depth.
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.
What the rules say in England
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.
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.

Fixed window grilles and bars in Newton Aycliffe: questions
Which areas near Newton Aycliffe do you cover?
We can arrange work in Newton Aycliffe and in nearby Bishop Auckland (5 miles), Darlington (7 miles) and Stockton-on-Tees (11 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.
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.
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.
