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
- 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
- Internal or external fixing
- Decorative bar patterns available for visible elevations
- Welded steel frame with vertical bars or a grid

What to think about first
Finish
External grilles last longest when hot-dip galvanised and then powder-coated.
Inside or outside
Inside fixing keeps the grille away from weather and tampering. Outside fixing suits windows with no internal access or depth.
Consents and safety: 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 Shepherds Bush: questions
Which areas near Shepherds Bush do you cover?
We can arrange work in Shepherds Bush and in nearby Notting Hill (1 mile), Chiswick (2 miles) and Fulham (2 miles). Dates depend on installer availability.
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.
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.
