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
Welded steel frame with vertical bars or a grid
Galvanised, powder-coated or both for external use
Decorative bar patterns available for visible elevations
Anti-tamper bolts or resin anchors into masonry
Bar spacing chosen to stop entry while keeping light

Fitting in Cardiff and nearby

We can arrange fixed window grilles and bars across Cardiff, the main centre for South Glamorgan, and in nearby towns including Penarth, Caerphilly and Barry.

South Glamorgan centres on Cardiff's Victorian terraces, arcades and city-centre offices, with Barry and Penarth along the coast.

Typical places for this kind of grille include:

Outbuildings and workshops
Rear storerooms and plant rooms
Toilet and utility windows
Commercial back elevations

Things to decide before you order

Appearance

On front elevations or period buildings a decorative or slimmer bar pattern may sit better than a plain grid.

Finish

External grilles last longest when hot-dip galvanised and then powder-coated.

Rules that apply in Wales

Wales

Bedroom and escape windows

Wales has its own Approved Documents under the Building Regulations. Approved Document B for Wales sets out escape window provisions for dwellings broadly in line with England's, including minimum opening sizes. We only fit grilles over escape windows with a keyless internal release.

Listed buildings and conservation areas

Listed buildings in Wales need listed building consent for works affecting their character, decided by the local planning authority with Cadw's involvement where required. Conservation areas bring extra scrutiny of external changes. Check with the council before ordering.

Fixed window grilles and bars in Cardiff: questions

Which areas near Cardiff do you cover?

We can arrange work in Cardiff and in nearby Penarth (3 miles), Caerphilly (7 miles) and Barry (7 miles). Dates depend on installer availability.

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.

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.
