What to know about retractable security grilles in Oban
Fitted inside the glazing, they usually avoid the planning issues of external shutters, though listed buildings may still need consent. Retractable grilles fold to the side of the opening, so there is no box above the window or door.
Some grilles are tested to security standards such as LPS 1175 or STS 202 if a rated product is needed. Top and bottom tracks keep the grille rigid and hard to lift or push in.
Specification options
- Powder coated in black, white or RAL
- No shutter box needed
- Integral locks, keyed or thumb turn
- Folding lattice that stacks to the side
- Internal or external fitting
- Rated products available on request

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.

Your questions answered
Do you cover Oban?
Yes. Send the postcode and we will arrange a survey in Oban. We also cover the rest of Argyll & Bute.
Are grilles as secure as shutters?
A good grille with top and bottom tracks is a strong deterrent and hard to defeat quickly. For tested security, rated grilles are available.
Do grilles get in the way during the day?
Retractable grilles fold neatly to the side of the opening. Removable grilles can be lifted out and stored.
Do retractable grilles need planning permission?
Grilles fitted inside the glazing usually do not need planning permission, though listed buildings may need consent. External grilles are treated like other external security and often need permission.
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.
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.
