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 you can specify
- No lock to maintain
- Internal or external fixing
- Bar spacing chosen to stop entry while keeping light
- Anti-tamper bolts or resin anchors into masonry
- Galvanised, powder-coated or both for external use
- Welded steel frame with vertical bars or a grid

Getting the right fixed grille for your building
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.
Finish
External grilles last longest when hot-dip galvanised and then powder-coated.
What the rules say in England
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.
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.

Fixed window grilles and bars in Melton Mowbray: questions
Which areas near Melton Mowbray do you cover?
We can arrange work in Melton Mowbray and in nearby Oakham (9 miles), Loughborough (13 miles) and Leicester (14 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 grilles be removed later?
Yes, by unbolting them from inside, though anti-tamper fixings are deliberately awkward to remove.
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.
