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

Bar spacing chosen to stop entry while keeping light
Decorative bar patterns available for visible elevations
No lock to maintain
Internal or external fixing
Anti-tamper bolts or resin anchors into masonry

Common openings for fixed window grilles and bars:

Rear storerooms and plant rooms
Outbuildings and workshops
Toilet and utility windows
Basement and cellar windows

Getting the right fixed grille for your building

Finish

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

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.

What the rules say in England

England

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.

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 Stourbridge: questions

Can you survey in Stourbridge and nearby towns?

Yes. Surveys in Stourbridge, Brierley Hill, Kingswinford and elsewhere in West Midlands are booked around installer availability.

Can fixed grilles be removed later?

Yes, by unbolting them from inside, though anti-tamper fixings are deliberately awkward to remove.

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.

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.
