How roller grilles work, and what to ask for
Shopping centres often require roller grilles rather than solid shutters on unit fronts. Polycarbonate infill panels can be added to stop items being passed through the lattice.
An open curtain lets air and light through, so displays stay on view and the unit does not look closed down. Grilles can be combined with a solid section at the base for kick protection.
Specification options
- Optional polycarbonate infill
- Removable intermediate posts for wide units
- Manual or electric operation
- Anodised or powder-coated finishes
- Suited to shopping centre unit fronts
- Solid kick panel option

Rules in England
Planning permission for shopfront shutters
In England an external shutter on a shopfront is usually treated as development that needs planning permission from the local planning authority, and a listed building also needs listed building consent. Many councils' shopfront design guides favour internal shutters, perforated or open-grille designs and boxes hidden behind the fascia, and some refuse solid external shutters in conservation areas and on main shopping streets.

Roller grilles: common questions
Do you cover Manchester?
Yes. We survey, fit and repair roller grilles in Manchester and the M1 district, as part of our coverage across Greater Manchester.
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.
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.
How long does it take from order to fitting?
Shutters are made to measure after the survey, so the lead time depends on the product, colour and any security rating. We confirm it in your quote.
Do you work with landlords and managing agents?
Yes. We quote, fit and service shutters for landlords, managing agents and facilities teams, including multi-site planned maintenance.
