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

Internal or external fixing
No lock to maintain
Welded steel frame with vertical bars or a grid
Decorative bar patterns available for visible elevations
Galvanised, powder-coated or both for external use

Fitting in Perth and nearby

Surveys in Perth (PH1) are booked around installer availability, as they are in nearby Blairgowrie (14 miles) and Crieff (16 miles).

Perth and Kinross mixes Perth's Georgian and Victorian centre with stone-built Highland Perthshire towns such as Pitlochry and Crieff.

Where fixed window grilles and bars are most often used:

Basement and cellar windows
Commercial back elevations
Rear storerooms and plant rooms
Outbuildings and workshops

What to think about first

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.

Inside or outside

Inside fixing keeps the grille away from weather and tampering. Outside fixing suits windows with no internal access or depth.

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.

Listed buildings and conservation areas

Listed buildings in Scotland need listed building consent for works affecting their character, decided by the council, with Historic Environment Scotland consulted on some cases. Conservation areas bring extra scrutiny of external changes. Check with the council before ordering.

Fixed window grilles and bars in Perth: questions

Can you survey in Perth and nearby towns?

Yes. Surveys in Perth, Blairgowrie, Crieff and elsewhere in Perth and Kinross are booked around 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.

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.
