How roller grilles work, and what to ask for
Polycarbonate infill panels can be added to stop items being passed through the lattice. Aluminium grilles are lighter and suit large unit fronts; steel grilles add strength.
Wide grilles use intermediate posts or a stronger curtain to resist being pushed in. Councils often see roller grilles as more acceptable than solid shutters in town centres.
What's included
- Anodised or powder-coated finishes

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.

Before you book in Blackburn

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 a grille cover a very wide unit?
Yes, with a stronger curtain or removable intermediate posts to keep it rigid.
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.
