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 goes into a fixed grille

Galvanised, powder-coated or both for external use
Welded steel frame with vertical bars or a grid
Bar spacing chosen to stop entry while keeping light
Anti-tamper bolts or resin anchors into masonry
Internal or external fixing
Made to measure for arched and odd-shaped openings

Fitting in Stafford and nearby

Surveys in Stafford (ST16) are booked around installer availability. We also cover nearby Rugeley (8 miles), Cannock (9 miles) and Burntwood (12 miles).

Staffordshire mixes the Potteries' Victorian terraces and former works buildings with market towns such as Stafford, Lichfield and Burton.

Typical places for this kind of grille include:

Toilet and utility windows
Commercial back elevations
Outbuildings and workshops
Basement and cellar windows

Things to decide before you order

Inside or outside

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

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

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.

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 Stafford: questions

Which areas near Stafford do you cover?

We can arrange work in Stafford and in nearby Rugeley (8 miles), Cannock (9 miles) and Burntwood (12 miles). Dates depend on installer availability.

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.

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.
