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
- Welded steel frame with vertical bars or a grid
- Galvanised, powder-coated or both for external use
- Decorative bar patterns available for visible elevations
- No lock to maintain
- Bar spacing chosen to stop entry while keeping light
- Made to measure for arched and odd-shaped openings

Somerset ranges from Bath's Georgian stone terraces, almost all within a World Heritage Site, to Weston-super-Mare's seaside streets and Taunton's town centre.
Typical places for this kind of grille include:
- Rear storerooms and plant rooms
- Commercial back elevations
- Toilet and utility windows
- Outbuildings and workshops
Things to decide before you order
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.
Rules that apply in England
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.
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.

Fixed window grilles and bars in Weston-super-Mare: questions
Do you cover Burnham-on-Sea as well as Weston-super-Mare?
Yes. As well as Weston-super-Mare, we can arrange surveys in nearby Burnham-on-Sea, Clevedon and Nailsea, and elsewhere in Somerset.
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.
Can fixed grilles be removed later?
Yes, by unbolting them from inside, though anti-tamper fixings are deliberately awkward to remove.
