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.

- Welded steel frame with vertical bars or a grid
- Bar spacing chosen to stop entry while keeping light
- Decorative bar patterns available for visible elevations

Fitting in Sittingbourne and nearby
Sittingbourne is about 11 miles from Maidstone, the main centre for Kent. We can survey and fit across the ME10 district and in nearby places such as Faversham and Gillingham.
Kent ranges from Medway's Victorian terraces and Thanet's seaside towns to listed medieval centres such as Canterbury and Rochester.
Typical places for this kind of grille include:
- Basement and cellar windows
- Toilet and utility windows
- Outbuildings and workshops
- Commercial back elevations
Things to decide before you order
Finish
External grilles last longest when hot-dip galvanised and then powder-coated.
Appearance
On front elevations or period buildings a decorative or slimmer bar pattern may sit better than a plain grid.
Rules that apply 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 Sittingbourne: questions
Do you cover Faversham as well as Sittingbourne?
Yes. As well as Sittingbourne, we can arrange surveys in nearby Faversham, Gillingham and Chatham, and elsewhere in Kent.
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.
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.
