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
- Anti-tamper bolts or resin anchors into masonry
- Made to measure for arched and odd-shaped openings
- No lock to maintain
- Galvanised, powder-coated or both for external use
- Welded steel frame with vertical bars or a grid
- Decorative bar patterns available for visible elevations

Greater Glasgow is known for sandstone tenements with ground-floor shops, Victorian city-centre buildings and Inverclyde's riverside towns.
Typical places for this kind of grille include:
- Rear storerooms and plant rooms
- Toilet and utility windows
- Basement and cellar windows
- Commercial back elevations
Things to decide before you order
Appearance
On front elevations or period buildings a decorative or slimmer bar pattern may sit better than a plain grid.
Inside or outside
Inside fixing keeps the grille away from weather and tampering. Outside fixing suits windows with no internal access or depth.
Rules that apply in Scotland
External grilles and planning
External grilles and shutters on commercial buildings normally need planning permission from the council under the Scottish planning system. Councils' shopfront guidance commonly prefers internal, open-mesh security, particularly in conservation areas and town centres.
Bedroom and escape windows
In Scotland, escape from homes is covered by the Building Standards technical handbooks (section 2, fire). 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 Renfrew: questions
Can you survey in Renfrew and nearby towns?
Yes. Surveys in Renfrew, Clydebank, Paisley and elsewhere in Glasgow and Clyde are booked around installer availability.
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.
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.
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.
