Choosing roller grilles for premises in Ayrshire
Roller grilles roll into a box like a shutter, and can be manual or electric. Shopping centres often require roller grilles rather than solid shutters on unit fronts. Councils often see roller grilles as more acceptable than solid shutters in town centres.
Brick-bond, tubular and link patterns give different levels of visibility and strength. An open curtain lets air and light through, so displays stay on view and the unit does not look closed down.
Specification options
- Optional polycarbonate infill
- Removable intermediate posts for wide units
- Suited to shopping centre unit fronts
- Anodised or powder-coated finishes
- Aluminium or steel curtains
- Brick-bond, tubular or link lattice

Covering Ayrshire
We cover Ayrshire from Kilmarnock to Ayr and Irvine, with 3 towns listed below. Planning decisions for external shutters sit with your local council in Scotland, and we check the position at survey.
Rules in Scotland
Planning permission for shopfront shutters
In Scotland fitting an external security shutter to a shopfront normally needs planning permission from the council, and listed building consent if the building is listed. Councils often ask for the box to be concealed and for open or perforated designs rather than solid shutters in conservation areas.
Safety of powered shutters
Powered doors and shutters are treated as machinery. The installer commissions them with a risk assessment, safety devices where the risk calls for them and force checks to BS EN 12453, then hands over a declaration of conformity and maintenance instructions. In workplaces, the employer or whoever controls the premises must keep doors maintained and safe for staff and visitors.
Electrical work
Electric shutters are wired to BS 7671, the IET Wiring Regulations. In Scotland electrical work in buildings must also meet the Scottish building standards, and is carried out and certified by a qualified electrician.

Questions about roller grilles in Ayrshire
Is a roller grille or a perforated shutter better?
A grille gives far more visibility and airflow, while a perforated shutter gives more privacy and weather protection. Shopping centres often specify grilles; high streets use both.
Do roller grilles need planning permission?
External roller grilles usually need planning permission like other external security. Councils often find them more acceptable than solid shutters.
Can things be passed through a grille?
Small items can pass through an open lattice. Polycarbonate infill panels close the gaps if that is a concern.
Can I get a quote from photos?
Photos and approximate sizes let us give you a guide price quickly. A survey is still needed before a shutter is made, because it is built to exact measurements.
Is the survey free?
Yes, for new shutters, grilles and doors: the survey and written quote are free and there is no obligation to go ahead. Repair and servicing visits are charged, and we tell you the price before we visit.
